TOOB Bender
Control the bending. Make what you want to your spec.
Off-the-shelf tubing will never put the bends exactly where you want⦠at the bend radius you want⦠to the degree of bend you want⦠in the alloy you want⦠with the butting profile you want.

- Produce smooth, ripple-free bends quickly and effortlessly without tedious hack methods
- Control what alloy and wall thickness/butt profile tubing you want with the bends just how you want them
- Three radius options for tighter and more relaxed bends
- Interchangeable dies from .5″/12.7mm to 1.625β/41.3mm diameter, plus 27.2, 30.9, 31.6mm
- Dies swap in under a minute with one 6mm allen wrench
- Small shop footprint with no need for a heavy-duty mounting point
- Bend is driven by a leadscrew with a cordless 1/2″ drill for ease and control
- Phase arm for multiple bends in the same plane (s-bends)
- Loading and unloading tubes is fast and easy with the quick-release clamp
- It’s very pretty to look at π
- Bending dies have an angular scale for documenting bends and achieving process repeatability
I designed this bender specifically for bicycle framebuilding. As a framebuilder, you need nicer quality bends than what can be achieved on benders designed for making automotive roll cages. You need a bender with a shop footprint and a price point thatβs realistic for a small-scale custom builder.
My bender can produce bends that are ready for high-gloss paint jobs. No fussing with sand or heating up the tubing. Load the tubes, bend the tubes, and move on.
