I see That the 12 ton pipe bender is on sale at PA For $99 .
The 12 ton states that max thickness is 12 g and the 16 ton is 8g
( the dies are the same for both )
Which one are you guys using ? will I be fine with the 12 ton ?

I read that if you just use a smaller die for your pipe you get the same results. Not sure what sizes, but you could always use some scrap and step down until it either works, or doesn't fit at all. If you get one, you should try it for the good of the group!  ... before doing the mod on the dies that is. |

Tried mine for the 1st time.
1.25" pipe, "stock" die... pretty darn good. I'm gonna try shims and see if I can get it closer to perfect.
