The Huth HB-10 is the ultimate entry-level pipe bender for professionals who demand Made-in-USA quality without compromise. Delivering 58,000 lbs of bending power, this complete package gives you everything you need to create O.E.-fit and custom-bent pipes up to 3" tubing with smooth, dimple-free results that Asian imports simply can't match. With its intuitive knee control activation, built-in heavy-duty swager/expander (1" to 5½" capacity), and comprehensive 028 Die Package, the HB-10 is ready to work the day it arrives — and keep working for 25+ years.
Recent Upgrades: Built to Last Even Longer
Huth has upgraded a number of electrical components to improve reliability and longevity. The control button box has been relocated from the "front" of the bender and replaced by a rotary switch on the side of the frame. This opens more space between the bending area and the operator, improving safety and comfort. Supporting components have been upgraded as well, reducing the total number of parts required while maintaining the same quality and function you expect from Huth.
These changes improve the lifetime value of the Model 1600/HB-10. Huth benders are often in service for 25 years or more! If anything does eventually need replacing, components are now easier and less expensive overall to replace. This new control is the same one you'll find on the new HB-05 model.
Complete Bender Package: Ready to Work Out of the Box
The HB-10 Complete Bender Package includes Huth's newest Manual Knee Control Bender and a comprehensive tooling package — everything you need to start creating perfect bends for thousands of applications. This is Huth's entry-level bender, designed to introduce you to Huth quality while showing you the incredible profit potential that awaits you in custom exhaust fabrication, roll cage building, handrail work, and more.
The HB-10 features knee control activation, manual depth-of-bend control, and 58,000 lbs of bending power — more than enough for 3" tubing. With rugged I-beam construction, agricultural-grade hydraulic cylinders, and an exclusive Safety-Guard Package, this bender is built to handle the toughest jobs day in and day out.
Built-In Swager/Expander for Complete End-Finishing
The built-in heavy-duty swager/expander gives you complete end-finishing capabilities right on the machine. Handle 1" to 3" tubing on the swager end and 1" to 5½" tubing on the expander end. With Huth's Accu-Sizer™ automatic bull's-eye expanding system, you'll be able to dial in precise expansions every time — no guesswork, no do-overs.
Intuitive Knee Control for Precision and Speed
The slim Knee Control Activation allows you to get closer to your work for quick, precise bending. Both hands stay free to guide and support the tube, giving you total control over the bending process. An easy-to-read Manual Depth-of-Bend Indicator shows you how far into a bend you are, so you hit your target angle every time.
Plus, you receive bending dies, end-finishing tooling, and a Huth instructional DVD — everything you need to start bending pipes for thousands of applications right away.

When you're fabricating custom exhaust systems, roll cages, or handrails, your reputation is on the line with every bend. Huth benders deliver smooth, consistent, dimple-free bends that Asian imports simply can't match. The difference is clear when you see the results side-by-side.

How Easy Is It to Use a Compression Pipe Bender?
A compression pipe bender is an extremely powerful and versatile tool, but many who have not used one don't fully appreciate how easy it is to use. When we get people to do their first bend, intimidation tends to fade away and enthusiasm to do more takes over!
There are two ends to the machine — the bending end, and the end-forming end. We'll focus on the bending end to show just how simple this tool is. There are 3 things you need to know in advance: the distance between bends, the orientation of the desired bend, and the depth of the desired bend.
Plot your distances with a marker: Mark your pipe where you want your bends, working from left to right.
Now turn the bender on — you are almost ready to go: Apply lubrication and set your pipe in the jaws.
Setting a rotation dial to keep oriented: Prior to your 1st bend, setting a rotation dial on the far right end of your pipe, set to zero, will keep you oriented as you progress through multiple bends on each pipe. This is especially important if you are using bending program cards.
Choose bend radius: Smaller radii give tighter bends, larger radii are more forgiving. Normally smaller tubes utilize smaller radii (larger tubes use larger radii) with a minimum 1.5-2X the tube OD.
Bend to the right depth: Every bender has a depth of bend indicator, and automatic benders let you pre-set the depth of bend. The pointer tells you when you reach your target bend angle.
Basically, that's it. There are times when a bit more knowledge helps (When do I use a ½ shoe? What do I use for thin-walled material?). But these are compression bender basics for bending with your machine!
