It's a workout bending that manually.  |

32 is rated for thicker wall tube than 3 or 4 as was mentioned.;)
other than what was mentioned, spend some $ for a digital angle finder, digitall torpedo, and a tube clamp.tube bandit is good but i think out of buissness now. take care of ur dies, doont run rusty tube in them, don't let them rust. and only buy the 180 degree dies... not the 90s.....
do the math and the calibration exersizes, note that your springback changes after u get above 95 or 100 degrees.
that's all I got to add...
I'm lookin forward to see your tube work!
