Default Re: Pipe Bending ?

For a quick and dirty (literally) way to bend copper/aluminum/brass tubing is to pack
it full of sand and cap the ends.. (Old moonshiners trick)

You can do some pretty tight bends this way and if it starts to kink you can gently
massage it with a mallet to keep it rounded out.

Use a lead/brass/plastic mallet to avoid splitting the tubing..

P.S. There are 2 options for production/exhibition..Mandrel bending and tubing rollers...
Ask me if you need more info.
