  1. Depends on the size of your formers.ie the wheel thing and the metal grove bit.


  2. Im not used to mm sizes but believe 35mm is under 1-1/4 inch. My pipe vice (3 point), I CONSIDER THIS FREE STANDING, can handle up to 1". 22mm is close to 1" so I would think 22mm is about the maximum. The problem arrises with thicker wall tubing which takes more leverage or more weight to bend. The larger the diamiter the larger the wall thickness equalivant, (total circumference not actual thickness). This means you have to have more weight or longer leverage to bend the tube and the tripod wont stand still for this, it tips and rocks.

  3. a freestanding pipe bender can only bend pipes upto 22mm.. you wouldnt be able to bend any bigger by hand.

  4. A free standing bender can usually manage to bend up to 22mm size. For 28mm a bending spring is used with the application of heat first. 35mm pipe isn't bent but 35mm elbows or bends are used instead.

  5. Mine does 15,22&28mm.

    you should say you cant be bothered to do your own homework and credit the answers you take from here in it

  7. The standard portable pipe benders are designed to handle 15mm and 22mm copper tube.  If you need to bend anything larger, you will probably need to try a hydraulic bender.  Companies like Rigid tools and Enerpac supply them or you may be able to get one from a good hire shop.
