Tube straightener
Hi everyone, I’ve designed and have successfully built a tube straightener. It works for all sizes of the coiled tube we use in our restoration work. I’d like to solicit your input, I value all your knowledge being relatively new and ya’ all are great support. It’s constructed from steel body and nylon “v wheels” to eliminate any scratches/marring. My cameras not cooperating so I’ll post pics ASAP. It looks professional and adjustable relative to pressure between top and bottom rails. It’s not perfect but works greats will be primed and painted satin black....custom colors can be provided with small charge for cost of paint, no extra other greedy charges! I want this to be available to everyone who needs/wants one!!
I’m doing this because I think the current straighteners are priced ridiculously high considering my research and we are mostly pretty good fabricators. It won’t be a stack of dimes TIG weldED (till my skills improve), but we’ll done mig and ground smooth. Pics coming soon!! I realize Pics are important so I’ll post ASAP. Thanks for your input.

Re: Tube straightener
Could use some information on what it's used on. Such as tubing sizes, thickness, steel stainless or aluminum.

Re: Tube straightener
I use one at work as well. It does 3/16 up to 3/8. It has 5 wheels and an adjustment knob to add or remove tension. We also buy in rolls.
It is easy to oblong the tube if you over tighten the adjustment knob, especially on copper.. We also use it on steel and stainless.

Re: Tube straightener
I'm also interested. I purchase my brake line in bulk coils, and refuse to buy Eastwood's tube straightener. Based on it limits in tubing size and cost.
