So your trying to decide between our two different styles of tube and pipe benders. here are the main differences to help with your decision:

-The Speedwerx Model 1 Bender works in a vertical plane using a hydraulic or air over hydraulic bottle jack to provide the bending force. It will provide maximum bends up to approximately 115 degrees in one setup.

This type of bender does not draw the material through the die set, it has an aluminium follow bar that is drawn through with the material being bent, this is a great feature that helps to reduce marring of...

Tube and pipe are dimensioned differently and therefore require different die sets. Tubing is sized according to it's outside diameter (OD) and pipe is sized by it's nominal bore or inside dimension. However the actual outside diameter of the pipe is used to determine the die set size.

Some points to note when selecting tube or pipe for your project:

-Tube generally needs to be purchased from a specialty materials supplier.

-Pipe can be purchased from a general steel supplier.

-Tube is more expensive than pipe.

-Pipe is more economical to use for things like farm gates and 4wd rock sliders.
