Bending 50mm stainless pipe

[wetny]

Hi. I need to make a pair of docking arms for my boat trailer. I was given some 50mm stainless hand rail about 2mm thick by a company that bought it in error and just wanted it out of the way. I have seen 12 ton hydraulic benders in places like machine Mart. Just wondered if anyone had any experience of them. as I said, got the pipe for free so don't mind spending a bit on a bender if I need to. Could always sell it on after. Thanks.

All those hydraulic ram pipe benders will do is crush it. You need a tube bender, they're not the same thing.
