What we need to quote bend tooling
To quote a tooling set we need the tube OD, wall thickness, material, centerline radius and your bender make and model. A part print lets us check short straights between bends, which decide clamp length and whether you need compound tooling. Learn more about our tube bending tooling, or check a radius first in the tube bending calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you make tooling for benders you did not sell?
Often, yes. Tell us the make and model, centerline height and die mounting, and we will let you know what we can supply.
When do I need a mandrel?
A mandrel supports the inside of the tube to stop wrinkling and flattening. You usually need one when the wall factor (OD ÷ wall) is high or the bend is tight, below about 2 times the OD. The tooling check above gives a starting point.
What is a wiper die for?
A wiper die sits behind the bend die and stops wrinkles on the inside of the bend. It is usually needed for thin wall tube and tight radii.
How long does bend tooling take?
Lead time depends on the size and the tooling set. We will confirm lead time with your quote.
