[Pushit2.0]

for bending pipe I leave the die surface ruff with no lubrication, and I polish the shoe surface and apply plenty of grease on the shoe and pipe while bending. I have a Pro Tools bender that we made into a 12volt hydraulic/electric.

We figured it took about 250lbs on a 3 1/2 foot bar to bend a 1 5/8" chrome moly tube.

Any thoughts for front to back braces similar to factory?
