[QUOTE="oexing, post: 131230, member: 1493"] Temperature control for hot bending is no real problem, you see the red colour and keep some distance from brazed forgings. I would not want to bend cold, takes a lot of force and you rarely get kinks out of tubes at the right place. It is really a safe operation with a torch , unlike with a little help and hope from a press when you would be challenged how to place that unit under it to get the desired results. It is a very threedimensional shape so easier to hold it in a decent vice and apply heat for a one-man bending job. I did not clamp on castings for bending, only gripping the tubes and used some patience for having red heat for bending. Vic [/QUOTE]
