Square Tube Bender FAQ’s
Q: Can you bend square tubing with a pipe bender?
A: Yes, you can bend square tubing with a pipe bending machine (e.g. the Versabend). That’s what this page is all about! We offer a square tube bender that can bend both square and rectangular tubing.
Q: How do you bend a square metal tube?
A: Our Versabend machine bends a square metal tube using a hydraulic ram and head that forms the tube as it bends. This yields a much stronger bend than if the angle were simply crushed or two metal pieces were welded together to form the angle.
Q: How do you bend a square tube without kinking it?
A: Using the proper dies for square tube bending will ensure that the tubing will not kink when bent. The Versabend machine uses a proprietary tube bending process that has been proven to increase the strength and stability of the overall frame and also does not allow kinking.
Q: Do you offer financing for square tube benders?
A: We’ve partnered with American Capital Group to offer financing for our Versabend tube bending machine. Apply here!
Q: What safety features are included with the Versabend?
A: The Versabend is equipped with an automatic limit switch for safety, ensuring controlled retraction after each bend.
Q: Can the Versabend handle custom bending projects?
A: Yes, its adjustable stops and hydraulic hand controls make it suitable for custom bends, allowing users to efficiently achieve specific angles and designs.
Q: What common issues does the Versabend address in tube bending?
A: The machine effectively mitigates problems such as wrinkling and springback by employing precise control over bending parameters, ensuring consistent and accurate bends.
