For a lot of things that I am trying to work out the best plan for--I have a die set for 1.5 inches that is the same radius bend as my 1.625 and 1.75 dies--I use it to bend cheap electrical conduit to mock up the preliminary design before I start bending up the very expensive 4130 chrome-moly
I can buy a whole stick of conduit for the price of one foot of 4130 so it is much cheaper and lets me see if there are any hidden obstacles to the plan or vision
