pipe/tubing benders???

[BIGJEEPMAN]

I hope this is in the right part of this forum? I am looking for a tubing /pipe bender. I would like to use it to build a trike. I don't know if I am going to use round pipe or square tube. What should I get? I have seen them for sale in Northern tool and Harbor fright. Or could you recommend a bender for me. Thank you

I have a 12 ton hyd bender that I used for my build ,home built pictures #32. I got it off a truck that came through town ,but its the same as Harbor frght. bends pipe ok ,no dies for squar tubing

Here's some ideas. Probably not for production but good for one-off frame build.

HF does still sell 1/2" square tubing dies (~$50) for their manual tubing roller, and I saw a youtube where a guy had a machinist widen them to 1" (no change in depth).
