J. P. Hamilton has created a simple and practical reference guide for tube bending work stations. Bending Layouts Made Easy contains all of the formulas a bender needs to lay out and execute a series of bends on tube, including tables of calculated values for radius benders from 9/16” to 5”. It also contains trigonometric values and a section on pitch to calculate unknown angles. This is a must-have book for professional tube and pipe benders.
