Bending 2x3 tube??

[Elliott]

Has anyone on here got a bender that will bend rectangular tubing? I'm about to build a new bed for my 450 and need some tube bent for the head of the bed.

Not that I know of... Bump cause I would like to know if there is.

Looks like you'll need a pretty serious bender for 2x3 the hard way.

I looked on youtube because I wanted to see it done. This is a video that popped up. Would copying that cut pattern suffice?

You could search around and see if any shops have a Tauring roller. We have a couple and can roll form rectangle or square tube. We also have Mazak and Trumpf tube lasers and utilize that same philosophy of notching and hand forming tube. Works pretty slick...
