Mandrel Piping

RE: Mandrel Piping
crush bent have dents all around the corners, they literally bent the pipe around the corners. This makes the pipes overall diameter smaller around the corners, which takes away some power.
Mandrel is compltely smooth bends. There is no diameter loss (or maybe barely at all), this is the best for power.
I have mandrel bent, heres a good picture of my setup:

RE: Mandrel Piping
hmm.......oh well, i'm happy with it, seems better than crush anyway. Thanks for the info though man, i guess press bendingwould be a better name for it anyway, i was right next to him the entire time he was working on it and he was just pressing it in bends. As you can see though, the diameter reallydoesnt get that much smaller though, so i'm pretty happy with it.
