Anybody seen some affordable products locally. Probably something that can tackle up to 1/2" to 2" pipes and square tubes.

Lots of DIY plans for these in the net too.

It is not hard to make one bro. The link you posted actually has a free design for large profiles. Most steel fabricators have home built units.

I agree... my local machine shop has three (for 3 different sizes) that they just jerry rigged themselves. might ask the machinist to make me one or two for the common ODs I use on my next days off.

Safety first - always wear face/eye/ear/hand protection as a minimum.

I saw one Free Standing Hydraulic operated Pipe Bender in LYS Hardware with lots of attachments ( different sized pipes ). I'll ask the price when next time I go there.
