3/4" / 19mm Tube Bender

Looking to makeup a rear shade frame using 3/4" stainless steel tubing. Does anyone have or know of a 19mm (3/4") heavy duty tube/conduit bender I can borrow or rent using the beer economy?

The cheap hand held ones are only good for Ali or Copper according to the reviews.

Any marine fabricator should be able to bend one up for you cheep.
3/4 20mm may need a hydraulic bender dependent on grade and wall thickness

Thanks... The project i've got planned needs one bend (2 identical) that will be trial and error so really need the boat to hand.

I worked as an electrician in the UK years ago and conduit benders were common and would bend 25mm dia 2.5-3mm gauge galvanised pipe no problem. I'm using 1.6mm gauge 316 stainless. Kennards do rent the hydraulic type but I was ideally looking for the plumber/electrician A frame type as these are a bit more accurate/controlled in my opinion.

Coates hire would have one at a pinch, think you may have to use the right type for the thin wall stuff, it may collapse on you when you bend it

There was one on gumtree for a reefrunner but its gone now. I did give it some serious thought but the rear supports were in the wrong place for me and it would of added a heap of work to move them.
