Amazing piece of kit.

 

That is F-ing awesome!!! I looked it up and its mainly for stainless guardrails on boats but would be wicked for frame building if it could bend DOM!!!

 

Some badass handlebars could come out of that thing!

 

Amazing piece of machinery!

 

Thank God I'm not a welder.

 

That's fantastic! Kinda like science fiction but without the fiction bit.

 

That's not anything new. You don't think the MOCO bends tubes by hand, do you? And the machine in the video is a bender, not a welder.

We use a CNC tube bender here at work. It's the only way to ensure repeatability and exact duplication. We have a different brand of bender but it operates very similar. Plug in your measurements and the lowest paid guy here can turn out 200 pcs, all exactly the same. Just insert the raw tube and press the button.

 

exhaust pipes... handle bars... the skys the limit !

 

How would it put welders out of work? The frame would still have to be welded together, wouldn't it? As would brackets, etc., etc. etc.
