Hello, I’m new here, while browsing the site i found a nice 3/8" rod bender, and I’m curious if anyone on here knows of a place to get the tooling/die to for these types of bends:

I have a 1" pneumatic pipe bender already, and can form the bends no problem, the issue is i want to crush the tubing so i can nest them together as the middle cross brace of these walkers are. See how the 90 degree bend is crushed so it can bolt to the uprights?
I’ve attempted to make my own die’s and ran into issues with the tubing tearing, and the portion that needs to be crushed in the 90degree bend is next to impossible to build a die for.
I’m hoping someone has seen/has a place that sells tooling to form these bends/crushed in tubing sections.
Thanks, Tyler.
