Description
The RogueFab model 605 pipe bender is the best value on the market. It competes in price with machines that have nowhere near this bending capacity, versatility, and technical support. Our steel tubing bender is easy to use, accurate, and portable. Our current lead times are currently 1-2 weeks dependent on the order, and will ship in the order they are received. This product is protected by US Patent No. 11529663.
The hydraulic cylinder (or system, there are options HERE) are sold separately (like it says in the photo above and later in this description). See requirements below.
Capabilities of M605 metal tube bender
We have the most affordable dies in the industry, and all of them bend 180+ degrees. You can forget about “90 degree 1 shot” benders that stop at 90. Our bender can do 94 degrees in one shot (m605 and m625 models), and then they can continue and go past 180.
Bends Carbon and Stainless Steel
The M605 metal bender has been tested on carbon and stainless steel and works very well. The M605 has an unmatched range of wall thicknesses that it can successfully bend due to its extreme capacity for thick walled tube, and its amazing thin wall range when equipped with the Rogue Fab Mandrel Attachment.
Other Supported Materials
Our M605 can also make S-Bends, which is shown in our videos section. Furthermore, it can bend:
- brass
- copper
- aluminum (round/square tube and pipe)
- thin-walled titanium for turbo manifold work and tubular titanium frames
While this metal tube bender can bend super thick DOM tubing, it also bends thin 4130 chromoly for roll cages, and can still make accurate 3D bends with ease on either material.

This modern machine was designed to run air/hydraulic (ram is sold separately, $99-195). Compare our maximum capacity to the competition before you buy, because nothing else comes close. This machine can bend solid steel bar up to 2″ diameter! We have the video to prove it. Just click on “videos” in the menu at the top of this page.
Machine hydraulic power requirements: The air/hydraulic option consumes 6 cubic feet of compressed air per minute (CFM) at 110 PSI, and requires no electricity at all. As long as your compressor has a storage tank, you don’t necessarily need 6+ CFM. Our other hydraulic systems are Electric/Hydraulic. The 1.5HP Elec/Hydro system draws ~8.1 amps at 220-250 volts AC. The 2.0 HP system draws ~12.5 amps at 220-250 volts AC. Our systems are designed for 60hz power (contact us for 50hz options if needed). They can also run on 208V power. We can wire our 2HP system for 110V at your request, but it pulls over 25A and is a highly unpopular configuration.
Machine Dimensions:
M6xx tubing bender: (assembled, ready to bend): 12”x30” floor footprint. Overall dimensions 12”x47”x32” (LxWxH). Weight 140-200 lbs.
M6xx Bender on Cart: 22”x34” floor footprint. Overall dimensions 22”x47”x68” (LxWxH). Weight 210+ lbs (depends on cart contents).
Flexible Design
The best thing about our line of tubing benders is how they can easily grow with your shop. You can get the machine now as the basic M601 or the overkill-strong M625, and be up and running without spending your whole tool budget.
Down the road, there is no need to sell this machine to upgrade:
- You can add a mandrel attachment to bend extremely thin tubing.
- You can upgrade to pressure roller dies for more complex bend geometry and bending aluminum
- You can upgrade to a 9.5 degree per second electric/hydraulic power system with auto stops for repeat parts.
- You can even add a backstop and rotation gauges to keep track of bend spacing and rotation between bends on 3D parts.
Need storage space? We sell cart kits and completed carts for our machines. Want to get advanced? We sell the best bending software in the business, already configured for our machines.
This tubing bender is no bait-and-switch. It comes with EVERYTHING in the pictures except for the hydraulic ram. You can go buy the ram from Harbor Freight to save money on shipping, or get one right off our web page. Our web page is the single most complete source for information on tube bending. Read all of it in our Technical Index (LINK).

***NOTE: We ship all M605 Benders with an HD kit (a part that attaches to the hydraulic cylinder) that is compatible with Rogue Fab and Harbor Freight brand hydraulic cylinders. If you have a hydraulic cylinder from Amazon or Northern Tool, you will need to tell us in your order notes. We can include this type instead, but only if you tell us at the time of your order***
