Tubela Tube Bender Help Needed
« on: February 18, 2016, 04:30:16 AM »
Has anyone got an instruction manual for a Tubela tube bender similar to the picture  :scratch: I had a copy but it's lost in the depths of a portable hard drive somewhere :bang: basically I have a couple of parts missing (the mounting plate for 1) and I need to make the parts  :thumbup:

I think Neo is saying he cannot see enough detail from your picture. Maybe add a few at 640x480 resolution taken a bit closer ?

Looks you got everything there actually.. the swing arm the small arm on the side of the big "yoke" parts have a piece that will push on the ratchet die.
You just need a way of fixturing it. The clamps for the tube connects to the ratchet dies and the shoo rides on the inside of the yoke..

Quite ingenious desing having the ratchet integrated to the die. But as well really unique.. never seen it before. =)
