    I saw this on FB on a Pullmax Group page, basically a set of dies is used to flatten the tubing. This arrangement would allow you to assemble your pipes using mandrel bends and then flatten afterward in order to have a smoother transition in the corners/bends. I know, day late, dollar short. (story of my life ) But even for a guy without the reciprocating machine, a set of dies made up like this and adapted to an arbor press would get the job done.. albeit more slowly.
