{"title":"Mandrel Tube Benders","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAchieve Tight-Radius, Crease-Free Bends with a Mandrel Tube Bender\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mandrel tube bender runs a mandrel insert inside the tube as it bends, supporting the wall so it can't crease or collapse. That lets you pull tight-radius bends in thin-wall material while keeping the tube round through the bend — minimal flattening, minimal loss of diameter, and a smooth bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat makes mandrel bending the method of choice for thin-wall work where a reduction in size isn't acceptable — exhaust and header fabrication especially, where the smooth, full-diameter bore from a crease-free bend keeps flow up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTM carries Baileigh mandrel tube benders: the \u003cstrong\u003eMB-350\u003c\/strong\u003e and the larger-capacity \u003cstrong\u003eMB-4x2\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both are built in the USA. These are production machines for shops where bend quality on thin wall is non-negotiable — call us on \u003ca href=\"tel:+18556054599\"\u003e855 605 4599\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll help you match one to your tube sizes and volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSearching for a \"mandrel bender\" but doing general fabrication? It's worth knowing the difference. Mandrel bending exists for tight-radius, thin-wall work where the tube can't be allowed to flatten — exhaust and headers above all. For roll cages, chassis, handrail, and larger-radius bends, a standard rotary-draw bender does the job without the cost of mandrel tooling.
