Question:

What tool can bend very small aluminum tubing into a tight radius?

I would like to make some 3D artwork, and part of the artwork would have aluminum tubingIt is very small diameter, like 1/8-1/4I would like to use a bending tool which can bend the tubing to a very tight radius in some spots, like 1/2 or around there.Where can I find the types of small tube bending tools I would need?Is there a tool which can bend small tubing like this into spirals as well?Thanks

Answer:

You can bend the tubing with a tube benderYou can get one at Sears, many auto parts stores, and many hardware storesAs for a spiral, you could try continuing the bend by sliding the bender down the tubeHope this helps.
