I love my beding machine..I love bending copper..............however, there is a time and place for plastic; but if I can see the pipe it's gotta be copper. I'm weird in getting satisfaction from bending copper I know, but I'm the one who has to live with it...............:willy_nilly:
 
love my benditnow machine it was supposed to end up else where but the girls were moaning they both wanted it so solution until i buy another is i keep it :)
 
I love my hilmor that much, i sleep with it along with a nice fuzzy water bottle
 
a wee tip to help bend pipes the correct way, (wont help with the accuracy ) but if you are bending different bends on the one length of pipe is to use a bit of solder wire and bend it up in the directions you want your pipe to finish, this should help reduce the amount of times you put the pipe in the machine and end up with the bend going the wrong way as you have wrongly positioned the previous bend, having the bent solder helps you determine what way the last bend needs to face to ensure the next one points in the right direction

I use those foam covered twist ties. Handy for off sets as well. Much quicker than measuring :)
