The JMR Manual Tube Bender (TBM-250) bends round tube, square tube and pipe in mild steel, DOM, 4130 chromoly, stainless, DOCAL and aluminum. It uses the same bender head as our hydraulic benders, so the frame can handle more than most people can pull. That's why we rate it by what an average person can realistically bend by hand: 2" OD x .120" wall round tube and 2" x .120" wall square tube. Add a hydraulic upgrade kit later and it bends up to 2-1/2" OD. See our capacity charts for full size and wall ratings.
FIVE DRIVE SPEEDS
The TBM-250 has more than 2x leverage than any other manual bender. The ratchet runs on bronze bushings. Use a higher gear to move quickly through small tube, or drop into low gear for 2" and heavy-wall material. An average person can bend 90° in 1.5" tube in 60 seconds.
BEND 90° WITHOUT RE-PINNING
The long drive rack makes a full 90° bend in one pass, and the bender is capable of bends up to 180°. A degree wheel with an adjustable pointer is included. Zero it to your setup for accurate, repeatable angles from part to part.
CENTER PIVOT BUSHINGS
The pivots run on self-lubricating Delrin bushings, so the arms stay in place when the die comes out. Changing dies means pulling one pin. Arms are high-tensile plate. Pins are heat-treated 4140 alloy.
UPGRADE TO HYDRAULIC ANY TIME
Because the bender head matches our hydraulic benders, converting is easy. Choose the Air/Hydraulic Upgrade Kit with a foot pump, or the Electric/Hydraulic Upgrade Kit. Either one raises capacity to 2-1/2" OD and takes the pulling out of heavy-wall work.
WHAT IT ISN'T
It isn't a mandrel bender. It's a heavy-duty rotary draw bender for building roll cages, chassis, handrails, and structural work. Large-diameter, thin-wall exhaust tubing needs a mandrel to bend without wrinkling, so if exhaust is your main job, a mandrel bender is the right tool.
MADE IN USA, STOCKED IN PASO ROBLES
We build and stock the TBM-250 in our Paso Robles, California shop, so it ships from inventory instead of a lead-time list. It mounts on a bench, a floor stand or a receiver hitch. Die sets, the handle and mounting are sold separately, or get a complete setup with dies in our Bender Packages. Questions about your tube size or project?

This tube bender is great quality, very durable seeming and was quick and easy to assemble. The long rack makes it quick and easy to get 90° bends. Love the consistency of bends I can get with this manual bender.
Quick delivery. Very high quality parts and finishes. Would recommend to anyone looking for an easy to use tube bender
I haven’t gotten a chance to use this for a job just yet but I bent a few test pieces of 1 1/4” pipe and seems to be a solid product. Fast shipping, priced right and solid.
How is it different from the RaceLine Tube Bender?
What can I bend by hand?
Can I make a 90 degree bend without re-pinning?
Can I upgrade it to hydraulics later?
Are dies included?
What warranty does it come with?
