So I've been tossing around the idea of trying out bending 1" square tubing (which is what I use to make furniture) and I have a piece coming up that is going to need some bends. I'll need the bends to be fairly repeatable, or at least a good way to gauge what degree the bend is at. For example a hexagon with rounded corners, each corner will need to be the same, 60 degrees (I think, haha).
So, I don't want to get a bender that will be over kill, I won't be wanting to use this for anything heavy duty like roll cages, or anything like that. I'd say it will probably ONLY be used for 1" square tubing, nothing larger. Possibly 3/4" or 1/2" square tubing down the road, but nothing larger.
Any suggestions? I don't have a lot of space, so I'd want something somewhat portable. And I'd rather not spend to much money. If I could get a decent bender with the single 1" square tubing die set for less than $200, I'd be ok with that if it's not going to be a piece of junk that I hate using.
