- In this video, Joe shows you step-by-step how to use a tubing bender and tube notcher to produce a clean-fitting 4 pt roll bar. We measure, bend, notch, weld, and show you every detail. Please comment, like, subscribe, and enable notifications if you liked this video! We want to interact with you, our audience!
Tubing used is 1.50 x .120 1020 DOM Tubing
Tools used in this video:
M600 Tubing Bender: www.roguefab.com/product/tubi...
VersaNotcher: www.roguefab.com/product-cate...
Angle indicator: www.roguefab.com/product/tube...
Drill: DeWalt 7.8 amp, from Home Depot
You can apply this to your RogueFab M600 bender, your JD2 Model 3, Bailiegh, pro tools, or any other tubing bender. This is meant to be a simple and easy to follow video, like a 101 class. We avoid as much math as possible and don’t use any software like Bend Tech (which we like to use, and will show in future videos). These techniques can also be applied to a 6 pt, 8pt, or 10 point cage, and the process will also work for NHRA and SFI cages, like handbook, 25.4, 25.5, 25.1, and more. this cage is installed in a Volvo, but you can put your cage into a Mustang, S13 drift car, Pro Am s14, GTR, camaro, nova, c10, desert truck, trophy truck, Baja 1000 rig, or just about anything else. Just be compliant with the regulations set fourth by your sanctioning body (like the SCCA, NASA, NHRA, Etc).

Nice to have @TheFabricationSeries on hand to do the welding for you. Great video!
Thank you Flash!
I would love to see you build either a bicycle frame, or a subframe for a motorbike. 1" , 1/16" wall aluminium tube.
i think i have watch video 4 times or more it has help learn something new to help me build a lot easy and time saving old man learning something new thank you
Awesome, Ron! Glad we made one that helped you!
Looking good! Nice video you guys 👌
You asked for a comment so... Thank you! I wish I had seen this video a week ago. I'm working on a bed Rack for my pickup, and the details on how to determine the lengths/bends would have been very useful. Instead, I fumbled through it! Haha! Despite my lack of expertise, The Rogue 600 bender I purchased from you is incredible, and making my projects turn out better than they should be! I'll tag you in a couple of instagram photos so you can see what I'm talking about. Truly, I appreciate this bender, and how well it works!
Travis, Thank you so much!!! Awesome
Thanks Joe! Even seeing the little tips helps!
The devil is in the details!
Can't wait to buy my bender setup!
Super appreciative of these how-to videos, thanks for posting!
Glad you like them!
Great video. Loving the content you guys put out.
Thank you!
I believe additional videos regarding offsets for bending would be very helpful.
Thank you for the recommendation. We will do more in depth tech videos about tips for bent tube design, as well as bend offsets.
Very cool practical application demonstration.
Thx Esrnest. We enjoy these little projects.
Man I have to say that this was very informative and I now know where I'm buying most of my equipment when I start my shop. Thanks for making an awsome product!
Thank you Slimer!
What an amazing class on the basics of bending and geometry. Thank you, you've likely saved me HOURS of work / re-work and $$$ for more parts. Keep that $#it up!!
So glad we helped at least a little! Thank you!
Another sweet vid man! Honestly just seeing anything being built and talked through is really helpful to learn from. Also shows how easy it is to build what you can imagine by using that bender and notcher. Again great job of the vids!
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Good video. Well done guys.
Thx Adam!
I've helped with some fab work and learned a couple things that will help when I start my own fab work. Nice job!
Great to hear!
Thank you for making this video
Totally, Dakota! Glad you enjoyed it!
very cool. i need this!
Awesome video. Thanks
Great info, badass tools
Glad you like them!
Good video! I look forward to more, would be nice to see off-road applications also.
We can definitely do that for you. Thank you for letting us know what you want to see!
Thank you for this interesting, informative video. Two points that I would like to see more information on are the measurement of the rear diagonal braces from the roll bar to the rear shock towers, and then the process of installing the cage -- I'd guess the rear braces could make moving the cage into the car something of a chore unless one waits to weld the braces after the roll bar was installed.
TFS was an interesting surprise. One day when my shop graduates or maybe all my kids graduate. I will be able to step my game up. Until then. Manual bending is my life. Unless y’all want to donate to the cause. My 5.0 coyote powered vw bug would thank you. Me too. Hahaha
Great Video, I like it.
Thx Maggie!!!
Really impressive video! Never saw anyone do the job and explain it so concisely like you! wow. subbed
Thank you so much! We just kicked off another huge car build which will include a complete cage install. Stay tuned for sure!
@@RogueFabrication will do! Thank you!
This is awesome! Thanks for doing this. Although now I wish I had the hydraulic conversion for mine...
Nearly every M600 bender already has all the mounting holes cut for the upgrade. We design all our equipment that way. Easy upgrades, no re-learning a new machine!
Great video
Thanks for the visit
Sweet vid! Who else wants to see how creative this guy could get making a cage for a full convertible K5 square body?
YES!
@@RogueFabrication I can bring mine in to you!
Out of nowhere Jason shows up to weld lol
He had an open invitation to the shop. And he seriously called the day I was filming and said he had a few hours to kill. We thought a quick cameo was in order!
That is awesome.
Justin
He's literally why I bought mine. The bottle opener comment sold it...
interesting for sure
Nice TFS cameo!
Thx. He was in town and stopped by!
I love seeing a roll bar going into a Volvo!
I learned that i will need place the tubing on a angle iron to draw felt marker lines the length of the tube 0 30 60 90 if i am to be assured the 90 and 45 degree notch will be correctly oriented on the harness tubes.
I have to build an 8.50 cage for my 53 Chevy pickup. It's your basic inline 6 292 with a 6-71 blower running about 1000 HP at the flywheel. Thanks I need all the help I can get. I love my bender but have a lot to learn.
Sounds great!
After that video I think I could teach my son how to fab lol try to win it again.
Great video. I just need a video showing how-to do the driveshaft loopover bar. I tried following the directions I got it to somedegree but I was short on one end
We need to make a video of that in detail.
@@RogueFabrication thanks much , great bender so far by the way got it on display in the shop everyone ask whats it does and it sells it self
Maybe show us where you get your metal tubes and equipment your using, and also what kind of welding machine you have
That is a good idea for future videos. Thank you. Welder is a Thermal Arc 200amp HF TIG.
Hi Jo...……... My name is Gordon Alberg. I live in Victoria. I am a old machinist. I had a large machine, steel fab. shop in Victoria. I love your tube bender. I am going to buy one. I don't know what package yet but I will discuss it with you when I come to your plant. I have a lot of race buddies in Portland and come down often. Next time I will come and see you. I am very impressed with your talent and engineering qualities. How far are you form Portland ?...…… Regards, Gordie.
Thank you! We're about 40 minutes east of Portland. Give us a call when you know you'll be in town and we would be happy to show you all the options in person. 503-389-5413.
I have a question regarding tube size and dies. I'm building a tube bender for 1 5/8" tube. I chose this size since galvanized chain link fence posts are sold in 1 5/8 inch OD and I'd like to try bending go-kart and bike frames. The thing I noticed is the tube is about .025 larger than 1 5/8 inch. This prevents it from sitting all the way into the bending die. It leaves a gap of about 1/16 of an inch under the pipe. I'm wondering if it will just force its way into the die once I start bending? Or do you think it will kink? I'm not opposed to sanding the die to make it slightly larger so the two parts fit together better since it was a relatively inexpensive die. Any advice? Thanks.
You have 1 1/4 pipe. It is 1.660 OD. Tubing is 1 5/8 (1.625). We explain the difference in the tech section at roguefab.com. As for bending material in the wrong die, I would just get tubing. It's better. Or give it a shot and see how it goes. -Joe
Tag team!
Now do some taco gussets with the press brake and the shaped dimple dies and its an all in one RogueFab roll cage!
That is a cool idea
It was good, although would have liked to see the paper layout being drawn.
Thank you. That is useful feedback. It is always a little bit of guesswork as to which details we should delve all the way into. We will consider that for future videos.
Where can I get one of those "angle cube" thingies?
on our site www.roguefab.com/product/tube-rotationindex-gages/ here it the link - Josh
Did you turn into Justin when you started welding??
He stopped by and asked us to teach him how to weld. Haha. He was actually in the area the day we were filming so we let him put a few dabs in for fun.
1$ for a couple inches, you can tell this video was made before 2020 😂
We still pay $4-6 a foot for most DOM sizes unless they're 4130 or really heavy stuff....
Single sided motorcycle swing arm.
Thank you for the suggestion!
That fit was terrible lmaoo
Camera angle made the gap on the right b pillar look huge. I can see why you are calling it that way. It wasn't huge. The main hoop is in the rear door opening (behind the b pillar) so the front seats are usable. I don't have a way to convince you other than that, so feel free to not change your mind.
Well done. When you have the right tools and a skill set you don’t end up with a video that goes like this..”now let’s see if it fits. F#%*!!! I should have paid more attention in math!” Ha...that’s never happened to me. I just heard about it. Yeah that’s it. OBTW, coulda pimped those deep red hole saws there. Don’t mind me I’m here to help.
