    Question Tube benders



    A question for anybody. What do the letter markings mean on the former end of tube benders?

    The letter markings are usually the initials of the engineer who had them stolen.

    Hi Tony,
    the letters indicate gains in length when you have bent the pipe for various diameters of pipe and fixed angles, usually 45 and 90 degrees.
    at least thats what I use them for.
    Regards. Andy
