ABSTRACT:
The hand held device of the invention is adapted for cutting, reaming and bending tubing. The device includes as discussed above a bender body member having a tubing guide track, a bender bracket having a bender flange, a rotatable cutting wheel, and a reaming tool. The bender bracket is connected to the bender body member. The reaming tool is connected to the bender body member. The rotatable cutting wheel is supported by the body member. The bender flange is positioned above the tubing guide track so that tubing fed beneath the bender flange is held by the bender flange as the tubing is bent into the tubing guide track. The upper work surface of the tubing guide track is semicircular in cross section. The tubing guide track is arced. The bender flange has a tubing engaging portion which is semicircular in cross-section. A work portion of the tubing is positioned in the tubing guide track beneath the tubing engaging portion of the bender flange. The operator then bends the tubing into the tubing guide track by forcing the tubing toward the tubing guide track. The force is applied at a point adjacent to the tubing guide track and at the end of the track opposite to the bender flange.
