Thumbs up for content!!! wouldn't hurt my feelings to hear the machine rather than the music! That's a truly awesome machine!
Yes, please drop the music. We want to hear the real music
Amazing! I've seen plenty of round stock benders over the years, but I have never seen one for rectangular pipe before. Lovely work.
Thank you very much!
*Wow, you can create frames from scratch in an hour, bumpers in ten minutes!*
*What is the name of this mandrel bending machine?*

You think that's fun, you should see bending T-bar.
This is the content I"m here for! Thanks for showing us how this is performed Mike, much appreciated!
Thanks for watching, more to come!
I came to say the same. Thanks for sharing. I think you would benefit from getting a band saw though.🇬🇧
A no nonsense look at frame rail bending. Great content & explanations as you proceeded with the job.
Thanks for posting this great content
Rick
Much appreciated!
Love the old school power hacksaw, that bender is very slick as well. Kind of knew how they were bent but had never seen it done, thanks for sharing !
I have a 1942 1.5 ton Peerless hack saw. Just as tight as when they put the war production board tag on it back then. Many superior things up against a band saw, although the upright Do-All's are superb.
We had one in the basement my dad used it was a constant sound every night, had an automatic shutoff. I can hear it today
I’ve never seen a saw like that before.
When I was in the structural steel fab business I swung by and picked up something we had bent at a bending business, the size of some of the stuff I saw laying there bent was pretty incredible.
Very glad you decided to do the long form version.
I always knew there was some machine that did this but I never saw one or one actually being used. Very cool. When you first showed the machine I was trying to figure out how it worked and how it would keep the rails straight and not buckled. As you went through it, it was like a light bulb going off and all the parts made sense.
Awesome video showing how to get it done! I like the way you have a system for layout and making the bends symmetrical each time!
Thank you very much!
That is one serious machine. Thanks for sharing with us.

On Saturdays for overtime I would come in alone and prep those big tubes for the following work week. It was easier to navigate 24ft bundles of steel thru a giant convoluted factory designed to accommodate 20 ft material maximum. But I had 24ft stock go figure. I used to leave the bands on a bundle of 24pcs 2 X 4 X.250 bang all the ends flush, do a squaring cut and cut frame rails and crossmembers with angles, compounds, bevels, for Semi trailers and H.D containers In Mass. Then hand lay them out because yet again they dont fit in any Cnc milling center, and mag drill all the precision holes by hand. 🙄Surrounded by millions of dollars of current gen Cnc equipment. It was so weird to step back in time to my beginnings when it was all Dykem and hand layouts.
Your vid brings back some of my fondest but most frustrating times i had as a machinist LOL!🤭🤯😜
I had no idea there was a machine for this, back in the day they were either straight or cut, how things progress amazing!
Always awesome seeing the process and how the machines work.
Thanks 👍
Absolutely phantastic, i´v never seen a bending machine like yours. It is exactly what i need für building my offroad trailer frame
Now this is an educational video. Thanks from Australia.
A great no nonsense video thank you for posting.
thanks for watching
I had some work done years ago by a company in Calgary Alberta Canada. They had a mandrel tube bender that could handle 14" x 14" x 3/4" square tube up to 40' long. They also had bending rolls for tubing where they required large radii from 20' to infinite. It was an education to go to their shop and watch how things got done.
I'm in Calgary, what was the name of the company? I might have some work for them.
...bigger the stock, the bigger the machine... pretty cool right!

Oil field, mining & refining supplier.
Fascinating! Now I have to Google mandrel to see what is going on inside the tube that keeps tube from kinking but still allows mandrel to be moved afterwards.
Always hear about mandrel bent exhausts.
Thanks for posting.
I’d have liked to see a close-up of that mandrel, I’ve seen and used spiral mandrels for round (circular section) tubing but not foe square.
My question is how is the mandrel extracted after the bend?
Interesting 🤔
Great video, but would have been better with more explanations of what the mandrel is and how it works in practice.
❤🇷🇴
@@clivehorridgepretty sure the mandrel just keeps retracting out the back behind the bends. That’s why it starts with the tube all the way in the machine, and bends are done starting at the front. It just supports the inside of the tube where the bend starts so it doesn’t collapse/kink inwards. The mandrel always stays at the bending point as the tube feeds through while bending. That’s just what I’m gathering from watching the video, but could be way off. Lol
@@leebdj1949your correct, the mandrel his held in position by the bar you see at the beginning of the bending process . Because the tubing is being drawn or pulled by the bending process, the bar (with the mandrel at the end) is only under tension. The mandrel would be tight in the tube at the end of the process because the tubing was trying to deform during the bend process but cannot because the mandrel is only slightly smaller than the inner dimensions of the tube. When he retracts the mandrel, it only moves a short distance back from the bend before it is again loose in the tube. Hope that helps.
Yep, thanks
A long time ago I built a frame for a vehicle out of the same material. Unfortunately I (we) had no idea that a tube bender for that material existed. We had to miter cut and weld each bend. A bender would have been really handy. Nice description. Thanks.
Great video, loved how you explained every step something a lot of videos don't include.
Glad you liked it! thanks for watching
That was fantastic to see. Right tool for the job I guess. Well done.
Iv'e never seen anything like this, but some how always wondered how bending large tube like this done. Now I know, that's an impressive piece of kit you have there, good job as well. Making it look easy.
People like you and information like this are why CZcams was created in the first place. Thank you!
thanks for watching
Very well done! This is the first I have seen the rails being bent.
Thanks for watching. make sure to check out some of my other frame rail bending videos and please subscribe to the channel
Nice video, please, next time set the music and voice to the same levels. Tired of getting my ears blasted when voice is very low and then......blaring music
That's correct, why have any noise other than a voice or machine sounds
Wow thats loud. I would have instantly ended video from it but this is different and interesting
You're 100% correct. The music was way too loud but quite frankly, videos don't need music in the background anyway. I don't know why people that put videos together think that they have to have music in the background other than professional singers that are making music videos themselves. If people want to listen to music or watch a video with music they're obviously endless videos on CZcams where they can just sit there and watch the music videos. Just leave the damn music out. People want the content and are interested in what the people have to say. Nobody wants to hear the background music.
Bendtech sure takes the guess work out of the process. Love the old power hack, I had one for a while but with two band saws it didn't make sense to keep it. Thanks for running through start to finish 👍
Thanks for watching
Very cool to see the process. Thank you for making the video.
Thanks for watching
Now that is the way to do it. Take the materials, the precise equipment, and the know how, and you can make a perfect frame rail! Bravo!
thanks for watching
That's outstanding, great piece of equipment to have, and the knowledge to operate it!👍
Amazing machine and skills dude I’ve often wondered how that’s done and now I know great vid 👍
Nice work ! I'll be watching .
Great video, I have always wanted to see how rectangular tubing was bent, thanks for the education!
Every time I see one of your videos or IG posts I want to find a way to put these to use. lol. I picture a frame for a body dropped mini truck, but that would have to be in the future. Awesome work!
Thanks for watching
Cool tool indeed. Constructive criticism, your time lapse music is a bit loud compared to your dialogue, at least for my ears. I want to hear what you have to say but the music was verging on uncomfortable. I like your short to the point approach overall.
thanks for the feedback
I twisted exhaust tubing on many many hot rods in my 30+ plus years as a performance automotive tech. First time I've seen a frame rail bent. That's good stuff. I'm retired now.
I wish I would have protected my hearing and lungs better.
thanks for watching
Mike, Great video! not only have you become a fantastic fabricator but also a great teacher/instructor. Thanks for you time participating with the student at Grant Career Center. Mike Patten
You make it look easy Mike!
Thanks zip
It is easy when you have a bender like that one…
@@dannyzuko1843 thanks for your input
It would make it so much more viewable if you would play the 'music' at the same volume as the dialog. Keep running to turn the damn volume down and then I can't hear what you are saying!!
Thanks for the feedback
WOW. That’s one mean machine to bend that tube so nicely and almost effortlessly.
This just had me spellbound. What an awesome setup. Excellent!
Glad you like it!
Good video but the music is annoying, not needed and too loud.
thanks for your input
Wow that’s a very nice setup and it’s telling me that unless I get into frame manufacturing it’ll be cheaper and easier to just buy this guys frame rail kit 👍🏻👍🏻
thanks for watching, would be much cheaper to order rails than get the machinery to do it
@@cornfieldcustoms About how much will you charge for the rails you bent up in the video?
@@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195 $1200 per pr for a set identical to the ones in this video
@@cornfieldcustoms thanks 👍. I have been binge watching your channel upon discovery of it. Not to be offensive but how did you afford to rent a place to work and get people to let you work on their cars at 20 years old ? I tried it for 8 years and 4 of them I was across the street from a one man street rod shop and I watched him struggle at it for 4 years before I switched to the oilfield just to make decent money. He stopped after 3 more years and got a good paying government job but I know we both didn't want to.
It was tough in the begging. The shop I rented in the begging was a total dump and cost me about $200 a month and was small and in the middle of no where. There were months I had to walk the ditches looking for cans to recycle to make the bills. I took on jobs I didnt want to, some times had no business taking on, but it was all a learning opportunity. I had a few friends that let me work on their cars at the time, and was building my own hot rod on the cheap. Once people heard what I was doing and saw the work I was doing, more work came in. It slowly evolved over the years and model changed completely as my skill set grew. The biggest thing that helped me in the begging was only getting stuff I could pay cash for to not get upside down, and I would always be working on a small personal project I could sell if money got tight for a while.

Dayum..... that is a beast of a machine. Thank you for sharing
thanks for watching
Nice job bending tubes the hard way. That machine is a beast!!!
Amazing, love the bender! Very nicely done. Stay safe and God bless
Thank you kindly
I would think these frame rails would be a good typical example. 4 bends 2 x 4 x .188 per 2 at todays 12/13/22 prices would cost approx ?? Great video. Thanks for sharing the process. Now to dig in your videos and see what else is there. New subscriber. Edit. A young Ron Covell. That is a compliment. Looks like fun to view some.
Thanks for watching . These rails are $1200 a pair
@@cornfieldcustoms Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Great video, but please tone down the music. Those of us wearing headphones are getting blasted. Thanks.
Noted!
Great video. Really like supporting your channel.
I had no idea previously how that was completed! Great equipment
Thanks for watching!
That is first time I have seen square tube bent. Takes some powerful and specialized equipment to bend it. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Bend Tech is great. Cris is an old friend. Used to make amazing things with his software.
Beautiful equipment at your shop.
Nice work, thanks for sharing.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your process.
Really informative with description about inside mandrel and its placement. DOM TUBING BENDING AT ITS BEST.
Thanks, I have another deep dive 2x4 bending video coming out next tuesday, shows the full process with doing hard way and easy way on the same rails
Pretty cool. Always wondered about the process of bending frame rails.
That was awesome!! I could watch that all day.
Thanks for watching
Not seen that explained so well before. Very interesting.
WOW! That was a fantastic informational video. Thank you.
Wow, that was fascinating! Thankyou for sharing. I especially like the old reciprocating hacksaw also
Glad you enjoyed it
excellent job and overview of this process. probably the BEST and MOST accurate account of how a complex bend is made .
thanks
I like your approach straight to the point! thanks and nice work!
thanks for watching
I've been a general machinist for twenty nine years, and here's a metalworking machine that I knew nothing about before watching this video. In fact, I never suspected that such a thing existed!
thanks for watching
Your shop is AWESOME!! I'm here just day dreaming of the possibilities 😂
thanks man
Metal working is a form of art. Nice job.
Never seen a machine like this before...thanks for the teaching lesson!!!
That was cool! Thank you for sharing that. You always turn out some awesome work, keep it up!
thank you very much and thanks for watching
Absolutely amazing work guys I appreciate all your Tips and video's keep up the great work guys 🤙🥃🥃
Thanks for taking the time to create the video and show how this is done. I definitely will look forward to using you in the future to bend some rails.
thanks for checking it out and let me know if i can help you out in the future
WOW! That's a serious bender! Makes my jd2 look like a little tinker toy. Beautiful work. The saw was interesting. I have never seen one like it. Great explanation about your procedure.
Look up the bendes a company called Davi makes.
Helps to have the right equipment. Great job.
Nice machine! Love the saw too.
I don't know how i found this video, but I'm digging it!
thanks
