[PSUBS-MAILIST] Tube Bending Tips/Advice

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Steve,
19mm?
For the wide curves you could form it around something like a drum
or a wooden profile. Someone on this forum had advised me to use
wire first, but I don't think there is a need unless it's tight spaces.
I paid out the money for a good tube bender specifically for the size
tube I was using, & glad I did. However I had a lot of complicated bends
on a complex system using solenoids.
