Pipe Rolling and Round Tube Bending that Breaks the Rules … and Meets Your Needs

Typically, the thicker a metal is, the harder it is to bend in South Chicago Heights.

Not so with pipe rolling or round tube bending – at least, if you hope to maintain the shape of a pipe or tube.

Metal pipe is hollow. One mistake while bending, and … poof! The pipe crushes.

Thicker pipe and tube wall are stronger, so don’t crush as easily. In other words, successfully bending pipe or tube is eased by thicker aluminum, unlike most other bending and rolling.

Still, round tube bending is an exceptional challenge, regardless of material thickness. Controlling distortion requires expert control and precision. A pipe’s natural inclination is to bend into an egg or oval shape … if not crush outright.

Using dies is a recommended approach. The size of the die relies on a pipe’s outside diameter. Pipes come in a LOT of different diameters.

Being very literate in round tube bending, Max Weiss Company has an extensive library of pipe and tubing dies. In the hands of our metal bending craftsmen, Max Weiss Company can meet all your pipe rolling or bending needs in South Chicago Heights.
