Versatile tube straightener from Laser Tools
Laser Tools has just released this versatile tube straightener (part number 8443), which it says will straighten copper, stainless steel or aluminium pipe with diameters ranging from 4mm (3/16″) to 10mm (3/8″).
It utilises seven U-shaped, grooved rollers, which can be adjusted gradually and held in place by using the thumb lock, to guide the pipe through the straighteners without causing damage to the profile of the pipe.
The tool features a fold out tab that enables it be mounted on a vice for ease of use. Ideal for use when fabricating replacement automotive brake pipe, or the larger-sized central heating or air-conditioning installation pipework (also suited for microbore pipe). For tube diameters: 4.75 – 5mm (3/16″), 6 – 6.3mm (1/4″), 8mm (5/16″) and 10mm (3/8″) tubing.
