Not a bad idea is that Les
I was thinking of turning up a male & female set of rollers ( Not unlike a set of tube cutters ) in the lathe. Set them into a pair of sturdy fingers, add an adjustable clamping/pressure screw & Bob's your uncle I had a look at some of the Pro ones .... Friggin hell, have you seen the price of em

hi Ronnie
yes thats a good idea as well. i also thought that if you made one similar to Matey,s with a good chunky bottom bit to hold in the vice a fixed stop to hold the pipe against and the top bit heavy enough to hit/tap/beat with a hammer......... you could rotate the pipe one handed and and tap away with the hammer it could be a nifty solution if you get what i mean cheers les g |

Hey Les, that's not a bad idea mate
I suppose you could fabricate a hinged anvil & dolly to clamp in the vice + a little sping to stop it bouncing ..... Probably makes no sense but you have given me a cool idea & probably persactly what you are thinking I feel another one of my dodgy " Windows Paint " sketches coming up

Sand fill the tube to be bent and it won't crush....gentle heat will make it easier

Beading Mark .... Not bending I blame the Black stuff
Here's another of my dodgy sketches !! Is that what you was thinking Les ? The lower former could make use of an old woodruff key, inverted & tacked into place . Or a profiled piece of hardened steel. The upper former could be made with a small round file or ground out. A tad oversize to the lower former to allow for material thickness ( A couple of mm's should do the trick ) I really must learn to use the Autocad or Solid Edge software I have installed on this PC ....... I havn't got the faintest idea
