is all tubing over 3" custom made or something?
why is it that all tubing over 3" is insanely priced? i see that special tooling is needed, but is there any sources to plain old mandrel bent tubing in the 3-4" range, possibly online?
jcwhitney only goes up to 3" i believe.

The bending machine for diameters over 3" is almost twice the money
as are the radius dies, wiper dies, mandrels,
Also you're talking about a bender needing a crane to be moved, not a forklift.
Also the thing is huge, most shops just don't have room for a machine that big.
Then you come to the tubing which is $$, oh and the tube cutter needs to be larger/more expensive.
Also nobody can afford an auto bead roller that big, so everything is hand rolled one-at-a-time.

^^^ What he said.
That said, if you need custom mandrel bends over 3", check this place out:
<a href="http://www.auto-jet.com">http://www.auto-jet.com</a>
They can bend larger diameter pipe and are VERY reasonably priced.
