My father-in-law is restarting his gate business and he wants a square tube roller. needs to roll 4" or 3" square tube and smaller. I believe the budget is under $500.

Any recommendations/advice is welcomed

Your budget may be missing a zero...

manual ones, definitely nothing fancy. Can't afford much beyond that

Do you have any idea of the energy required to bend a 4" square tube? Just the mass of the bender requires some serious money.

Maybe go back to dad and confirm he really needs to bend 4" square. My training was long ago but I'm guessing that the energy required to bend goes up by the square of the tubing size. Hopefully an engineer will step in here with the proper math.

Thanks, it probably just got lost in translation. Will get it sorted before the next reply.
