Hi all,

Being a new subscriber of MEW (digital) I found the plans for the miniature tube bender by Derek Brown (MEW #64). However, on some of the drawings, the measurements are not readable no matter how much you zoom.

Could anyone help me with the measurements from the Item 2, 5, 6 and 7 drawings?

Thank you in advance,

Dan Preda

Resurrecting this single post thread as I have now found the same problem. I am unable to read the drawing dimensions on 2,5,6 and 7 and possibly a number of dimensions on 1. Anyone have a drawing set for this neat little tune bender.

If no joy, I could ring Derek (it is DAG Brown?). He might still have the original dimensions/drawings Can't really pop down to see him at the present time.

Are these dimensions important ones or can they be sorted at whatever size you wish to make your miniature tune bender – or bender of miniature tunes🙂

Hi Andy,

I have a pdf of the article which zooms quite well and the dimensions are readable, PM me your email address and I'll send it along.

Many thanks to all those that have responded by forum or through PM. I am most grateful and now have the dimensions I need to bend tubes (rather than bend tunes). Many thanks all much appreciated.
