9/10

Bend Angle Capability

210° maximum bend angle

9/9

Wall Thickness Capability

.875" wall capacity for 1.75" OD DOM. No published material compatibility list; material coverage not scored.

6/9

Die Selection & Shapes

Documented die coverage for: round tube, pipe, square tube, EMT, metric round, metric square/rectangular, plastic/urethane pressure dies, other documented shapes. Points are awarded only for die families the bender manufacturer explicitly documents as compatible for this frame, including any clearly claimed third-party die ecosystems.

8/8

Track Record (Years in Business)

Proven track record, but not as long-standing as the oldest brands.

1/3

Upgrade Path & Modularity

Documented upgrade path covering: power upgrade path, length backstop / stop system, rotation indexing for bend-to-bend alignment, built-in or machine-mounted angle readout, auto-stop for bend angle, thick-wall specific tooling or capacity upgrades, thin-wall / AL / stainless bend-quality upgrades.

7/8

Mandrel Compatibility

Mandrel bending capability documented by the manufacturer for this frame with a full bronze or equivalent mandrel system.

4/4

S-Bend Capability

Meets TubeBenderReviews S-bend definition: two opposite-direction bends with ≤0.125" straight (tangent) between them, verified via specs/photos.

3/3

USA Manufacturing (Disclosure-Based)

No disclosed USA manufacturing claims, clearly imported origin, or only very weak USA-flavored language.

0/5

Origin Transparency

No meaningful origin disclosure, or only vague/marketing language without concrete component origin details.

0/5
