DIY Horizontal Tube Bender | ETS Tube Bender Build

Bending tube in Motorsport Fabrication is an important process and it’s one tool that you cannot skimp on.

This doesn’t mean that you can’t employ some DIY skills and produce your very own saving you a bunch of $$ that can go straight back into your build. I had a buddy help me design up this bender kit from scratch and after some thorough testing its now available for you to build and own.

I have just uploaded the DXF files (for laser cutting) and the PDF plans for the pins and spacers to both the Practical MIG Welding and Roll Cage Construction course so those enrolled can take advantage of these additions.

I have used a hydraulic ram and foot-operated pump to drive my bender but the plans are equipped with a hand ratchet system that allows easy bending by adding a large bar for the thickest wall tube.

Combine the bender with the 3D printed bevel box and digital angle gauge protractor mount (also supplied with the course) for the ultimate in bending accuracy.

We're super happy to bring these products to you and if you need to see a step by step build of the bender then you can see it in either our both the Practical MIG Welding and Roll Cage Fabrication courses.

    For those looking for the Tube Bender files, you can find them in the "Tube Bending" lesson under the Practical Roll Cage Fabrication ( https://www.etsfab.com/dashboard/courses/roll-cage-fabrication/tools-tube-bending ) or in the Motorsport Fabrication Fundamentals ( https://www.etsfab.com/dashboard/courses/motorsport-fabrication-fundamentals/fabrication-tools-tube-bender ).
