Master bender for profile pipe with his hands

home worker with the right approach is not difficult to collect from scrap materials for the shaped tube bender with his hands.

Of course, this can be an important tool available in any specialized hardware store, but not everyone can spend the extra money on a bender, especially if you need to bend a few pipes.

At home worker at any time, you may need to bend a few pipes, especially pipes that are used not only for water pipes or gas pipes.

of them can produce a variety of gazebos and greenhouses, fences or sheds, as well as many other interesting things.

In any case, if the bender to make your own hands, it will allow the wizard to save money and get hold of a hand quite popular tool that finds wide application in the household.

general bender is a special device that is used to bend pipes of different materials of different diameters, including round-reinforced plastic, the desired angle.

Simple homemade tube bender can be made from readily available materials, although it is better to have all the relevant drawing near.

Concepts and types of tools

Beforeso how to make pipe and tube bender with your hands, you need to start a good deal with the fact that this tool is for and what type it is.

modern industry lets out this tool with different views of the drive, which differ according to the method of bending.

Homemade bender course will be slightly different from the professional, but how it works remains the same.

addition it should be noted that these devices may have both manual and electric, or hydraulic actuator, which operates on the principle of the jack.

bender with manual control, which is presented below in the image is usually used to impart the desired shape and bend for metal pipes and tubes of small diameter made of non-ferrous metals and having a relatively small diameter.

In turn, the hydraulic tube bender is a fairly versatile machine that allows you to carry out the necessary work with virtually any pipe material.

more professional devices are electromechanical control that allows you to work with different pipe diameters, despite the fact that ensures maximum angle accuracy and bend radius.

This tool allows you to carry out the work, including a thin-walled material without any defects and deformities.

main indicator of any bending tool is his way of bending and in this case there crossbow, spring, and the segment and arbor.

Benders crossbow equipped with a special type bending element that has a certain shape, designed under a certain size pipe.

bungee largely designed for metal pipes and their main operating element is a spring.

The segment type tube bender pipe bending takes place by pulling it around a special segment.

There are other factors that affect the operation of this device, and in order to collect a homemade tube bender, which can be seen in the photo below, all this should be taken into account.

bender manual type

most simple scheme of work at the tube bender manual type.If the tool is assembled correctly and in accordance with certain rules, he will be able to provide the required bending radius.

To make manual bender with his own hands, it is best to have on hand the relevant drawing with a detailed description of each of its elements.

It should be noted that this tool can then be used as a bending of plastic and aluminum tubes, as well as for steel.

First we need to make a template.

To do this, take the board thickness which is slightly greater than the thickness of the pipe that you want to bend and cut it out of their respective blanks.

Thereafter, all the boards are bonded to each other, as required by the drawing.The best thing to do when sawing a small slope on the boards.

This will later at work to avoid slipping out of the pipe from the template.

Once the template is fully prepared from the boards, it should be permanently attached to any grounds, for example to the table.

Further on the basis of the directly next to the template attached special emphasis, and which will abut the pipe itself.

more details on how to collect the most simple type of hand tube bender, described in the video, which is available below.

In the case when working with this unit there will be any difficulty and the pipe will be bad to go on a bend, you can use an ordinary hand winch, which will greatly facilitate the task.

When assembling this unit special attention should be paid to the tightness, both the wooden template and stop.

They should not be in operation by external force to break or get out of his seat.

hand tube bender for profile pipe

As you know, work with the pipe profile type is more complex and, therefore, tube bender for it must be reinforced construction.

To create it you can use the drawings as for elementary manual type device, but with a few changes.

In this case, there is no need to make a bevel on the wood intended for the template.

addition, install additional stops, as shown in the photo below for a better fixation of billets.

Also, under the profiled tube with your hands can be collected and a small rolling device made of wood, whose work scheme will be as simple as possible.

It should be noted that the wooden blanks can be used for manufacturing rollers, but it is best for this purpose use common bearings or polyurethane.

If under the rollers will be taken bearings, they must be sure to rasklinit, since they do not rotate.

The main difficulty in making their own hands benders is that they themselves are subject to flexibility of the pipe.

If you have to work with pipe material that goes well to bending, the mostly wooden components can be used to manufacture the device.

In that case, if the pipe has high strength characteristics and deformations badly exposed, use more solid components, for example made of metal bending tool for manufacturing the hands.

Therefore, before you start your own instrument assembly, it is necessary to determine as precisely as possible with the material with which to work, and on the basis of its strength characteristics, to select components.

In any case, the device must withstand the load and provide the required bend angle.

bender with hydraulic

works with virtually all types of pipes most easily by a hydraulic bending tool, which, having at hand the appropriate drawing, you can also collect their own hands at home.

In this case, you must provide a hand jack and channel bars.In addition, also need two identical clips, metal plates and several shoe.To begin

of channel should assemble by welding the structure in the form of a rectangle, the height of which should correspond to the maximum height of the jack.

The following is how to gain a firm foothold on the basis of one of the U-sections jack itself, and it must be done by means of metal plates.

role in this type of ram bending tool - it is necessary to carry out the push function, so it should be designed to work under no less than five tonnes.

When selecting clips to be taken into account that they have to as accurately as possible bow blank pipe.In this case it is best to provide for the possibility of replacing the rollers, if necessary.

This will increase flexibility and enable the device to work with pipes made of different materials and have different diameters.

For more information on how to self assemble a device of this type, described in the video posted below.

It should be noted that the tube bender, collected from the jack, and the relative simplicity of its design and the minimum components required for its production, has several advantages.

With it, you can work with steel pipes in cold condition.In addition, it will be indispensable for carrying out plumbing and car repair of almost any complexity.

Tips and tricks

Almost all types of pipes can be bent, not only for the manufacture of any frame, but also at laying water pipe or sewer.

In this case, it should be noted that almost every mechanical interfacing of a pipe between a is one of the weak points, which means that they will be smaller than in the system, the better.

course, pipe, depending on its diameter and the manufacturing material is deformed in different ways, and the main criterion here becomes an indicator such as minimum bend radius.

This index is a reference and, if necessary, it can always be found in the relevant literature.

the above figure should be taken into consideration when working on any type of benders.

Otherwise, surplus voltage can lead to destruction of the tube surface, which may lead to serious consequences in the subsequent.

In the event that a small amount of work, and have a relatively small tube diameter, tube bender expedient thing to do of wooden blanks.

higher quality and more durable to get a device made of a concrete slab.To do this, choose the appropriate size of the plate and mark it on the net.

More accurately drilled holes for fittings, which are driven solid metal pins.

If necessary, carry out predetermined bending pipes, it is introduced into the space between the pins and folded in the right direction.

should be noted that this device allows you to work with a tubular billet having a diameter of not more than twenty-five millimeters.

Also at home you can collect bender roller type.Despite the fact that the gathering device is not easy to work on it is much easier and more convenient.

it functions on the basis of the rolling mill and enables to bend pipes made of different materials.

In any case, the options are to make a universal bender alone a lot and each master can easily choose the one that will be his ability.
