Title: 1.5" square tube die
Post by: Stomper on August 02, 2011, 12:28:11 AM

I was looking on the pro tools web site at the 1.5" square tube dies. They say that the max wall thickness for this die is 0.083". I was needing to bend some tube with .125" wall. Has anyone bent 1/8th" wall square tube with these dies successfully. How do they come up with the min/max wall thickness that the dies can handle

Minimum is based on what will bend without kinking. Max is determined by the bender arms and pivots capacity.

And radius of die.
