Looking for a used (pinch roll) machine that will help me to make long radius bends in stainless and aluminum pipe and tube up to 2" OD. Attached is a photo of a stainless arch I made showing the type of long radius bend I need to make.

Located in SoCal.

All comments welcome.

 
Large radius Bend like such are extremely easily with a tool called Staightoflex or Strateoflex ? By its design you end up with tails that need to be trimmed if noticeable. This is a hand held unit ?15-20 lbs lever operated you sing lever over center and move down repeat a reasonably skilled person can pick up the technique easily Bought it from Julius Blum co ~30 years ago was $600?
 
look at JD2, they have a model 32 manual bender that has a capability to go hydraulic. I have one, it works well to hand bend up to 1.5" and hydraulics up to 2.5"

Thanks, I have found and purchased an Ercolina ring bender from group 5, who posted earlier. And I have the JD2 Model 32 bender with electro/hydraulic actuator.
