Getting Started With Tube Bending & Tube Notching | JD Squared Bender & Notchmaster

Learn how to bend tubing with the JD Squared Model 3 Tube Bender and how to fish mouth tubing with the JD2 Notchmaster. This is a general overview of getting started. Typically a tube bender is bolted to the floor but since I need to make mine mobile I'm using the Swag Off Road ram mount to adapt an air/hydraulic ram to my tube bender. This allows me to use an air compressor to effortlessly bend tube to any degree. After bending I show how to fish mouth and tube notch the tube for a proper fit and strong weld. All of the tools and material sources are listed below.

If you want to learn tube bending from a master I suggest the following videos from @The Fabrication Series

Here's a great video by @BleepinJeep on installing the Swag Off Road Ram Mount: https://youtu.be/p6nn7BBVg6w
