Mandrel bender - bender die and clamp die
(OP)
Hello
I'd like to build my own tube mandrel bender and I'm wondering about bend die and die clamp dimension tolerances. I have aluminium pipe 22m outside diameter, which has +0,3/-0,2 mm tolerance.
I have mandrel and pressure die, only die and clamp are left. I was looking for few hours trying to find any tips how to make it, but i didn't find. Can anyone help me?

Also research manufacturers of these items for clues. Back in the 70's I did research tube benders and mandrels and I found a particular line that suited our manufacturing activities; that research was more involved than with today's research tools such as the web.

I think there was some coverage of bending dies therein.
Or, I could be misremembering. Try to borrow a copy.
