whats the best way to bend a pipe like this?
Hi. I need to bend a 10mm OD aluminium pipe like the attached image. It dosent have to be aluminium but this was all i could find in 10mm
without having to buy a large coil of pipe. Can someone offer some advice regarding the best way to do this?
Of course i could fill it with sand and bend it around something but i would like the bend to be fairly precise. Although i imagine it might be difficult to bend the 90 degree angle accurately by hand.
Are there any kind of bending tools which can do both arcs (4" radius approx) and 90 degree angles like this? I have seen pipe benders but itlooks as though i would have to continuously move the pipe bender in order to get the arc.
You help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
