How to Build a Pipe Bending Machine
by Vincent Gingery. 48 pages. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. black and white photos, illustrations.
This book shows you step-by-step how to build a pipe bending machine capable of bending copper pipe, thinwall conduit, rigid conduit, flat steel stock, and square or round steel tube.
With this machine, you can bend copper pipe to a smaller radius than with a conduit bender.
You will need a well-equipped shop to make the pipe bender. The steps involve cutting, drilling, and welding steel.
You also need a wood lathe or drill press to form the bending dies, which are made from hardwood.
