Tubing Bender

[bucketobolts]

Well the cylinder has worked pretty good. It is a bit slow but does the job. A little design flaw lets the square tube push over against the tubing your trying to bend. So I had been using a small piece wood at the top of the cylinder to keep it off the work. This afternoon I stuck a piece of steel under the base plate to stop it from swinging around. About a third of the way through my first bend I heard a pop and the cylinder quit pumping up. The air motor runs but build no pressure. I found that the base was in a bind and broke where the cylinder attaches. Off to Harbor Freight to swap in out...
