i want to bend into a semi circle 180 degrees 66 inches wide 60 inches high will 7/16 handle it

the 7/16 inch pole is almost a half inch that does not bend that much use a thinner diameter polls

maybe a little. it is aluminium. you couldn't bend it 90 deg. it would kink

I don't have it handy. It is about 14" or so. You could probably bend it, as it doesn't have to rotate much.

It should. This tool is like sharp scissors on a pole so you don't need to bend over.

Like any vinyl or rubber tubing, it can be bent but the radius of the bend grows larger as the bend approaches 90 degrees or greater. A 90 degree turn would probably be 3 or 4 inches from start to finish without a crimp.

Theoretically it could make a 180 u-turn as the poles are very bendable. I think the issue is going to be do you have enough power in the poles to negotiate beyond that. If it's a clean 90 I'm sure you're fine. What I ended up doing as I have more like an s turn then a 90 is to clean the pipe from both ends. Basically I got as far as I felt comfortable going each direction, knowing that I overlapped somewhere in there.

I adjust mine to fit my needs if it needed to go 180 I would have to adjust the tightening adjustment but I can't figure out why you would need to do a 180

Measure your metal piece to see if it's 7/8th or 1inch in width and go from there

Unsure of your application. It won't make a 90 degree turn. To give you an idea of how pliable it is, it comes shipped in a box coiled like a snake.

If by "turn" you mean bend the thin metal, it is probably not a good idea. The thing is "as is" when it arrives, one piece, and that doesn't necessarily mean perfectly constructed or level.

Simply grab the corners and twist. The flexible frame will fold up into a circle shape about 7 inches wide. It takes some practice but after a few tries, it should become really easy to do.

It will bend quite well, but would not suggest bending it in half. I do not bend it in half. After doing this for some time it may deform and damage it.

hi... I think you mean 'maximum' bend... I just bought a 3/4" by 75' piece of CSST... from what I can tell, the maximum is a 34" diameter... hope that helps...

I would think so, but will depend on your radius. I have only done 20 gage @ 6" wide to about 6" radius. You can always pass through multiple times setting the radius tighter each time. The roll is the best feature of this machine. Shear is basically worthless. I have yet to get a decent cut on any material without bending, binding, tearing, etc. I have wasted hours with feeler gages, etc. and have not yet discovered the magic. Brake is somewhat better, but I can only get about an 80-85 degree bend. I have to finish to 90 on a $40 Harbor Freight benchtop. Hope this helps you.

That depends on how thick it is. I've casted stuff about 1/2in+ and it's been pretty solid but stuff about 1/4 or less will bend.

Each section will bend to at least 45 of arc, so yes, the entire 4-section pole will form a half-circle, unless you shorten the sections significantly. I used the two poles I bought as replacements in a hemispheric dome tent. In doing so, I had to shorten each pole section about 2" (each pole needed to be about 10" shorter to fit the tent). Each of the shortened poles easily bent to a half-circle.

54x72 is going to be to small. The next size is 60x84. The sides will have a 6 inch overhang and ends will have a 8 inch overhang
