Re: Bending Square aluminium tubing
The problem with bending 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.063 aluminum box tubing will be crushing the profile (it'll likely look squashed when you are done).
To prevent this, fill the entire tube with sand and duct tape the ends closed really well. The sand will prevent the tube when getting crushed when you put it through a tube bender. |

Re: Bending Square aluminium tubing
Tube bending is easy with the right machine. Go cart frames are made this way. Here's is a video of bending square tube.
