Re: Bending 2" diameter pipe/tubing

Took a look at the HF bender. It's die is for 90 degrees. Looks like a decent unit, but repeatability may be a problem. Took a look at 1 1/2" EMT conduit sweep elbows. Liked em so much I bought a couple (only $5 each). The radius is pretty much perfect, and conduit will be nice because it won't rust and it doesn't cost too much. So, I think that's what I'm going to do. Cut and weld together two 90 degree 1 1/2 inch EMT sweep elbows. Seems like the easiest way out.

BTW, 1 1/2 EMT conduit is closer to 1 3/4 OD if anyone was wondering.
