Motocross videos are more stable than this footage

Thank you for the info

Would really love to see a video of you creating a minibike frame. How you measure and bend the pipes, with an inexpensive bender.

It would be good to see how your front a-arms mount to the frame.

I just bought one of these for a mini trike build I want to start here soon.

I wonder if using the next die down would have a similar effect by holding the bottom up from being the first point of contact for the overall force? Never used one before and I’m looking to do the same for a project. Thanks for the demo.👊🏾

Bonjour... Si je souhaite cintrer un tube d'acier rond à 90' en cintrage hydraulique du fer, quelle est la distance entre les deux galets pour chaque tube ? ♥

Given what you said about the current gearing and top speed, the new top speed should be 37.5 with a 14/48T sprocket combo. IMO, I'd go with 15/43 to get a nice 44-45mph top speed, that way you have some overhead and can cruise at 1/2-3/4 max rpm in 3rd gear and be between 22-33mph without wringing your engine to death. Plus you should still have plenty of torque, especially given how the Honda Grom is a similarly weighted vehicle at 125cc and is geared for a 65-ish mph top speed and scoots grown men around just fine (Grom's a 5-speed though).

Are you doing this for a 4 wheeler brush guard? I wanna do the same, to build a simple brush guard for a 4 wheeler. And I am doing research, that’s how I ran across your video.

What about .095", 1" od tubing (go-kart frame)?

What ever happened to this thing?

I don’t own one yet but I do know 3/4 sch 40 is 1” OD should the bender be set up for pipe od? Or id? Again I don’t own one does the instructions specify?

FYI Crisco cooking grease lubing outside of your dyes helps too. Cheap, not expensive.

I mounted mine on engine stand so i can move it

Im disappointed at this bender, Im needing to bend EMT conduit and its not working at all, I am searching for slightly smaller shoes for this because it really needs 2 sizes for every pipe size, thin wall and heavy wall.

thanks for sharing

Here's an idea. Buy better shit and actually mount it how it's designed

Can’t kink if it’s full. Brilliant

Thank you(I kept kinking it) 🙏💕🌎💝

Get your welding gloves on and heat the metal, not glowing red (not to lose it’s structural integrity obviously) but hot enough to make your steel soft and malleable. Several benefits from doing so but the main one being less force and more “flow” as the metal molecules spread apart it’ll act more like a liquid and form around your dyes rather then want to fold because of them. Maybe you already thought of doing so but felt it’s worth mentioning, anyway keep up the good work man!

Normally I set the bender on a stand I made for numerous metal fabrication. Basically a spare tire/wheel and a 3" pipe welded to it and a 6" square piece welded to the top. Not a work of art but it works. You can then bolt down the bender vertically, set a level to check. then simply use an angle finder and double the number you see and you have it. Haven't had to use the sand trick yet but it is said to work fine if needed. Want to make some Tubing spacers and a saddle back to bend some steel tube that needs to be sharper than my HF tubing roller can do.

Don’t forget that metal has “bounce back” so you might have to go a couple of degrees past your target angle.

It will work with some patience and sweet oil that sand trick really works many yrs ago I was building an air compressor and after lots of ruined copper tubing and frustration I guess a voice in my head said you damn idiot pack it with sand it worked my wife where did I get the idea from my answer was I really don't know but it stuck ever since then

Thanks👍

Cool video great tips

Really cool build. Great video. Are you gonna make new content?

AWESOME!!! Dream achieved!

I had the same issue at first with bump steering in my prototype until I figured what you described: If you place the pivot points aligned and in the same plane the bump steering will approach zero the closer you get to perfection. ;)

Totally love your work Broh!!!

Just m k from ccp!

May want some welding sleeves. Cool kart

Thank you for this tip! I struggled to bend before this video!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'm going to do a similar project and I was wondering how to bend the pipe without kinking it.

I wonder if a person wet the sand while in the tube, if it would make it absolutely compacted and therefore more effective as a stabilizer for/in the pipe?

If I need to angle the left vs right once I have the angles is that possible

One trick I saw an old timer do was as follows. Tape bottom of pipe Fill with sand, tap a bit to get it to settle and add more sand. Pour a cup or two of water onto the sand in the pipe until you have leaks out the bottom. Tap a far bit and refill with sand. Add water and repeat until its full-full. Tape the other end and bend. Or simpler just add sand and tap and ram the sand until its packed well. Would add water just in case you can get some more settling.

Thank you so much man. I bought this bender marked down (returned item) and I was worried it was junk. Seemed like a pretty simple design though, so I wasn't convinced anything was wrong. I saw your video and found technique was the problem -- of course! You're a lifesaver 🫡

Having a clamp that corresponds with the die will help too

I have one that's stock frame. We're would I start adding suspension

they look like some pretty nice ,kink free bends !!!

Exactly where I am at. Brilliant. Thank You😊

You can buy the individual dies from harbor freight parts people. That's for the 12 ton bender.

Yeah - but there's got to be a better way ...

Are you using steel pipe?

Can I get some opinions on which bender is **better** for making motorcycle/ebike frames? This one or the hand wheel rolling one at HF? I see people buying the roller one but have to by the Swag Off-Road upgrades to make it work like a "$1000 bender" as some have claimed.

Would anyone use this pipe bender for tubing. Thinking about making control arms. Any comments about this would be much appreciated. Thanks

someone can tell me if it bend a 2" in pipe 1/8 thick? please im going to buy it 2morrow but i dont want to buy it if it doesnt 🙏

Could we get tight 180 bends with this?

Sorry I see now you have another video

How did you get that bend without kinks? You gotta tell me! Lol sand. I just borrowed a friend’s and tried the sand maybe it wasn’t packed enough . It was /3/4 tubeing
