All UTV's Tubing Bender CLR

[G.T.]

I am going to buy a JD squared model 3 bender. I want to buy both a 1.5" and 1" die. What centerline radius would you guys recommend for each of these two die sizes? I am going to use it for building a light bar, bumpers, etc....(and whatever other excuse I can think of to bend some tubing) thanks for your help/input!

my 1.5" is 4.5" and i believe my 1" is 3". great bender for sure. i used the copperhead fab bracket to hold a harbor freight air over hydro cylinder for easier bending.

Thanks! it sounds like the tighter radii is more desirable for this type of stuff??
