Edwards Schedule 40 Pipe Bender Dies

A Schedule 40 Pipe Bender is one of the most sought-after metal working machines for many industries such as hand railing, protective railing, framing of many sorts, gates manufacturers, and automotive shops. When talking about a Schedule 40 Pipe Bender, we must first introduce two different types of Hydraulic Benders. We will not be discussing Manual Schedule 40 Pipe Benders but they do exist and are very popular for many small shops.

Standard Draw Pipe Benders are commonly used in the plumbing trade for bending and shaping a variety of pipes to make them suitable for a wide range of applications and fitting locations. Pipe Benders come in a range of sizes for specific pipe dimensions and materials, such as copper and steel. Rotary Draw Benders use die sets with a fixed radius to bend pipes and tubes. Draw Benders are available in various types, including Manual, Electric, or Hydraulic Benders. Programmable Draw Benders allow the operator to set up multiple bends per part with different degrees of bend. A major advantage of a standard Draw Bender is that the initial investment is significantly lower than a similar-capacity Mandrel Bender. The drawback is the level of accuracy and the requirement of a larger radius, usually 3 x D and higher, where D refers to the tube diameter. When accuracy and appearance are critical to your product, you will need to move up to a Mandrel Bender.
