Tube Bend + Notch

Build v23 · B1 tee = start − offset

Engrave clamp tees, cut the fishmouths, then bend. Two files — engrave pass then cut pass.

Tube

Tube OD (in)What you’re bending. Wall (in)ID saddle only — not blank length. CLR (in)Die centerline radius. Part nameGoes on the Engrave label and filenames.

U / shoulder bar

Left / right legs + middle = tangent gap between bends by default. Parent C–C is optional under U options.

Left / End 1 Middle (tangent T–T)Gap between bend tangents on the flat blank. Change “Middle is” below for parent C–C.Using tangent middle: 12.00″ Right / End 2 Bend 1 (deg) Bend 2 (deg)

Cage24: 33.46 / 13.46 / 33.42 · two 90s · 6″ CLR.

Bend sequence Bend from the middle outward and flip between bends. Gold T = front of the clamp. Gold T = bend start − Rogue offset (toward End 1 on the blank). Same rule for B1 and B2 — keeps B1’s T out of the bend arc.

U options — set clamp, middle width

Bend 2 set clamp0 = same plane. 180 = S. Middle is Use Tangent for the flat gap between bends. Parent C–C subtracts 2×CLR (12″ C–C @ 6″ CLR → 0″ gap — bends touch).

More bends — L, S, extra bends

Clamp offset

Bender Clamp offset (in)Rogue clamp offset. T / stop = bend start − this offset (toward End 1) for every bend. Keeps B1’s T off the cyan arc.

Bend stick (extra pipe)

Sacrificial pipe on both ends so the tube still holds the roller after the bend (default 6″ each). Notches and tees stay on the finished part — trim stick after.

Same stick both ends

End 1 stick (in)Past End 1 / horn — roller hold after the bend. Blank tip is Y0. End 2 stick (in)Past End 2 — same roller hold on the other end.

Engrave pass

Engrave clamp tees Engrave die lineup marks

Optional “vents” / die-face ticks on the clamp T. Leave off until those stations are sorted — clamp tees still engrave.

Engrave part label

Parent tube / fishmouth

Leave square if the end is plain. Notch the flat blank, then bend.

MASSO G-code — two files

Power is set on the machine. No S word.

2 · Cut pass

Optional wrap preview (paper check)

Secondary. G-code is the shop output. Red = location / horn, blue = rotation A0.

Flat stick

Gold T = clamp/stop toward CTR. Orange = bend start. Green = bend-pair CTR. Cyan = arc. Gray = bend stick.
