It is designed for copper, aluminum, and soft stainless steel tubing.
It handles tubing sizes of approximately 4.75 - 5mm (3/16"), 6 - 6.3mm (1/4"), 8mm (5/16"), and 10mm (3/8").
No, this straightener is intended for soft metals like copper and aluminum and is not suitable for hardened steel.
Properly adjust the grooved rollers to match the tube diameter and use the thumb lock to secure them. Ensure the rollers are clean.
Yes, it can be used as a handheld tool, but it also features a fold-out tab for mounting in a vice for added stability and ease of use.
It is recommended to clean the rollers after each use to remove debris and maintain optimal performance.
The U-shaped grooved rollers guide the pipe through the straightener without marring or damaging the tube's profile.
Ensure the rollers are correctly adjusted for the tube diameter and that the thumb lock is securely engaged. Try passing the tube through multiple times with slight adjustments.
Check for any debris or obstructions in the adjustment mechanism. Clean the rollers and threads, then apply a light lubricant if necessary.
Verify that the correct roller grooves are being used for the tube size. Ensure the rollers are clean and free of grit. Do not overtighten the rollers against the tubing.
Ensure the sand-dipped handles are clean and dry. For more demanding tasks, mount the tool in a vice using the fold-out tab.
Setup: To set up the tube straightener, first identify the diameter of the tubing you will be working with. Adjust the 7 U-shaped grooved rollers by gradually turning the adjustment mechanism until the grooves align with the tubing's diameter. Use the thumb lock to secure the rollers in place. If required, fold out the tab and mount the tool securely in a vice for added stability.
Compatibility: This tool is compatible with copper, aluminum, and soft stainless steel tubing in the following approximate diameters: 4.75 - 5mm (3/16"), 6 - 6.3mm (1/4"), 8mm (5/16"), and 10mm (3/8"). It is not recommended for hardened steel or very thick-walled tubing.
Care: After each use, clean the grooved rollers and guide surfaces to remove any debris or metal shavings. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Periodically check the thumb lock mechanism for smooth operation. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
