I would like to see you do that with a six meter length in an A frame.
No Problem using an A frame bender.
You pull up and not down.
And yes I pull bends with an A frame and an hydrolic bender up to 67mm
Very occasionally I offset 76mm and 108mm but a good plumber would install to avoid that.
I will boast on the bottom I've yet to meet anyone thats half as good as me with a bender.
Once again thanks. I got some tube and think I`ve cracked it (not the tube!!). basically pulled to 2nd mark to get main bend then "tweaked" the legs back.
My problem was I was overbending the first bend. Many thanks for the advice. I feel much more confident now.
This is the second time folk have helped me out on this forum and I have to say you guys are great at helping out the numpties. Now Im gonna have a pile of tube for weighing in !!!

Your not a "numptie" Jurgen, You just have a thirst for the Kowledge. Once you have finnished the classroom learning then the real learning starts, and thats every working day.
Good luck with the tests.
can remember some of the sights that got handed in when I was at skoo,

Thats a cracker ballski.
True I've yet to see a pipe fitter bend a piece of steel tube in an A frame, or for that matter even have the need to bend an full passover in one.
You're outer your depth balenska so get back to building sheds for B&Q.

Just been out in my shed Doitall though its not a B&Q one.
Got my trusty Hilmor A frame out to do a full passover on the end of a 6 meter length of 22mm.
Took the second go though as the first one was a few mil out on one side and not being diying in a while so out of practise slightly but no problems on the second one and perfection and the pipe never left the bender.
Some time perhaps Doitall if you are free I shall give you a few lessons.

Why dont you two old timers come to NW London for a nice meal again?
Even Dan Robinson has woken up and called me yesterday! He has been passing me several small jobs for ages so I knew he was still alive. Even gave me a job for his wife's best friend.
