Is there an online guide anywhere for bending tube?

One of the guys here bought a new bender for his shop and we were playing around with it last night but we were kinda guessing for the most part with our measurements... I have experience bending conduit as an electrician but that was a few years ago now and my math skills have severly depreciated in that time Any guides would be a huge help...

Thanks!
Mark

I once found a guide over on Pirate4x4 that was pretty good and now that you don't have to pay to use the search feature you might check there. However, This is a big help> http://www.medfordtools.com/bendtech/ez.html
and I thought it was worth the money.

Thanks for the link guys. Good read.

But it does only cover single plane bends... Is there any out there that covers multiplane stuff?

All bends are single plane. Each bend gets figured individually, then add up the measurements.
