Hey guys great site you have here. As you can see im new and need help. Im working on converting a manuel tube bender to a hydraulic unit and need to find the force to bend a 2"OD x .188 wall tube. The ultimate tensile strength is 87,000psi, yield strength is 72,000psi for the 1020 DOM tube. below is a pic cad file of how the bender is set up with the lengths at which the pin is in the die were the force is acting on the tube. Any help would be appreciated guys. Thanks kyle
