Rollcage bending
Evening everyone. I am new to the forum, looks like a great site. I have a rollcage bending question. I am building a new race truck and I'm at the rollcage stage. We borrowed a friends bender, but it is only pinching the tube. The die is a 1 1/2, and the stock is 1 5/8. I believe with the stock being slightly larger than the die it isn't allowing the tube to move at all and crushes it. I ensured the die is smooth and lubricated the pipe, all to no avail. Does anyone have a trick for the 1 1/2? I also have access to a 1 3/4 die, any trick there? Thanks for the help.
RIP Mike....prayers to those you left behind. .
