Sorry I didn't make it clear, But no I don't think your pipe bender will work,
How ever, (ands theres always a how ever.
)
Watching some of the you tube videos from the link in this thread,they where making it work with some nice bends by filling the tubing with wet sand. Looked like a slow,slow process but if your like me,ya got more time than money. Soooooooo I say fill a piece of tube with sand and try it,all ya got to loose is some time and a piece of tubing. I have bent 1 inch stainless tubing for nerf bars with one of those pipe benders because I didn't have a 1 inch die for my tubing bender. What ya gotta relize is pipe is measured I.D. and tubing is measured O.D. So your pipe bender 2 inch die is bigger than a 2 inch tubing die. what I did was use a piece of .060 ??? aluminum sheet cut a little longer and wider than the ram die wich on the first bend formed a nice tight die shim wich helped a bunch.....
