No good for roll cage tubing unless you fill it with water and cap the ends first, and then they're liable not to have enough oomph to bend it properly. A sliding die-type will do it with a little distortion, but you're better off with a rotating-die, roller-type or mandrel bender. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

You can also use fine sand if your worried your welds won't be watertight. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Yeah, but waters more fun, the welding heats it up and pressurises the tube, bingo perfect bend.Takes a lot more oomph to bend 'em though. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
