Hi,
has anybody on here got a rotary draw bender that can bend 48.3 mm tube or know of anybody who has, not to far from Derby.
I have tried all sorts with the bender I have but just can't get bends that I am satisfied with.
If not I will have to build my own but could do without the time and expense.

Cheers Simon

I am having one delivered shortly but am a little far from you.

Have you considered pre bent pieces?
