Difference between a Mandrel Tubing bender and a?

[jannes_z-28]

It also depends on what kind of tubing you are going to bend. A mild steel might work in the simpler tools. But a strong hard steel or chromemoly tube cant be bent without a mandrel.

I believe the die that goes in the tubing is called a mandrel

Hey thanks!!!! So a properly designed tubing bender (not a muffler) will bend to make a NHRA/SCCA legal bar/cage setup?

Check out http://www.mittlerbros.com/. Alot of the race teams that build their own chassis use Mitler or Irwin-Smith. I have used Mitler notchers and bender. They are super nice.
