What is a Mandrel Tubing Bender?
Before we delve into the details of our Mandrel Attachment, let's first understand what a mandrel tubing bender is. A mandrel tubing bender is a specialized tool used for bending thin-walled tubing. When bending such tubing without a mandrel, you may encounter issues like wrinkles and deformities, especially at higher wall thickness ratios. This is where the mandrel comes into play.
The Purpose of the Mandrel Attachment
The main purpose of the Mandrel Attachment is to improve the bending process by eliminating wrinkles and producing high-quality bends. It achieves this by inserting a bullet or multi-ball plug inside the tubing while it is being bent. This plug acts as a support, allowing the tubing to slide over it and maintain its shape. By using the Mandrel Attachment, you can position your bends further away from the end of the tubing, resulting in smoother and more precise bends.
How Does the Mandrel Attachment Work?
The Mandrel Attachment works by sliding over a rod, which serves as the support for the tubing during the bending process. The length of the rod determines the maximum spacing for bends, allowing you to bend up to approximately five and a half feet from the end of the tubing. Additionally, our attachment features a grease pump for through-mandrel lubrication. This lubrication further enhances bending performance, reduces friction, and extends the life of the mandrel.
To use the Mandrel Attachment, simply position it on the machine, ensuring the tubing slides over the rod. Then, use the one-inch Acme screw at the back of the machine to crank and pull the handle, which will initiate the bending process. The attachment is designed for different bending radii, allowing you to switch between levels to match the desired bend.
Benefits of Using the Mandrel Attachment
The Mandrel Attachment offers numerous benefits for tube bending applications. Firstly, it improves bending quality by reducing wrinkles and deformities, resulting in aesthetically pleasing bends. Additionally, it allows for tighter radii and the bending of thinner-walled tubing, maximizing space and enabling high-performance work. Whether you are working on a roll cage component or an exhaust system, the Mandrel Attachment ensures precise and professional results.
Features of the Mandrel Attachment
Our Mandrel Attachment is designed with user convenience and efficiency in mind. With its easy-to-use design, you can quickly attach it to your M600 Tubing Bender and start bending with confidence. The attachment features an adjustable rod for different bending radii, allowing you to accommodate various project requirements. Additionally, the inclusion of a grease pump ensures smooth and friction-free bending operations, further enhancing the attachment's functionality.
Compatibility with Different Tubing Sizes
The Mandrel Attachment is compatible with different tubing sizes, offering versatility and flexibility in your bending applications. With the ability to handle a wide range of diameters and wall thicknesses, you can tackle various projects with ease. However, it is important to note that extremely high wall thickness ratios and D ratios below two-and-a-half may not be feasible. We recommend referring to our website or contacting our team for guidance on specific bending requirements.
Maintenance and Lubrication
To ensure optimal performance and longevity, proper maintenance and lubrication are essential for the Mandrel Attachment. Regularly inspect the attachment for any signs of wear or damage, and lubricate the mandrel with our high-performance mandrel bending lubrication blend. This lubrication will reduce friction, prevent material sticking, and extend the life of the mandrel. By following these maintenance guidelines, you can ensure consistent and reliable bending operations.
Applications of the Mandrel Attachment
The Mandrel Attachment opens up a world of possibilities for various applications in the fabrication industry. Its ability to produce high-quality and precise bends makes it ideal for roll cage components, chassis components, and exhaust systems. Whether you are working on a sand rail, a dirt bike, or even a custom motorcycle, the Mandrel Attachment will help you achieve professional-grade results. Its compatibility with different tubing sizes and ease of use make it a valuable tool in any fabrication workshop.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Mandrel Attachment for the M600 Tubing Bender is a game-changer in the world of tube bending. Its ability to eliminate wrinkles, produce high-quality bends, and enhance the overall bending process makes it a must-have tool for any fabricator.

FAQ
Q: Can the Mandrel Attachment be used with other tubing benders?
A: The Mandrel Attachment is specifically designed for use with the M600 Tubing Bender. However, depending on the compatibility of the rod size and attachment mechanism of other tubing benders, it may be possible to adapt the Mandrel Attachment for use with them. We recommend consulting our team for further guidance.
Q: Can the Mandrel Attachment bend tubing with high wall thickness ratios?
A: While the Mandrel Attachment improves bending quality and allows for thinner-walled tubing, extremely high wall thickness ratios may not be feasible. We advise referring to our website or contacting our team to determine the compatibility of your specific bending requirements.
Q: How often should I lubricate the mandrel?
A: It is recommended to lubricate the mandrel with our high-performance mandrel bending lubrication blend once every 10 degrees of bending or as needed. This will ensure smooth operation, reduce friction, and extend the life of the mandrel.
Q: Can the Mandrel Attachment be used for bending stainless steel tubing?
A: The Mandrel Attachment is primarily designed for bending mild steel tubing. While it may be possible to use it for stainless steel tubing, we recommend consulting our team to ensure compatibility and optimal bending results.
Q: Are there extensions available for the Mandrel Attachment to increase the bending length?
A: Yes, extensions are available for the Mandrel Attachment to increase the bending length. Please contact our team for more information and assistance with your specific requirements.
Q: Can the Mandrel Attachment be used for bending square or rectangular tubing?
A: The Mandrel Attachment is designed for use with round tubing. While it may be possible to adapt it for use with square or rectangular tubing, additional considerations and modifications would be required. We recommend contacting our team for further guidance on bending non-round tubing.
