This Nissin 3D bender is kind of like a PlayDoh Fun Factory, except it squirts out 1.25″ steel pipe instead of soft non-toxic-but-funny-tasting dough. Looks like most of the magic is in the bending-die head. [via Boing Boing]

This machine is bending steel tube. I did a lot of that in a previous life with much simpler tools. Short rule of thumb, if it bends then it’s tube. If it doesn’t bend then it’s pipe.
A pipe and a tube are generally the same thing, for the exact differences in their definitions check out the second paragraph in this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_(fluid_conveyance)
I think you may be confusing pipe for pole, which is a solid cylindrical object.
And then it stole my wallet!
I can’t see the knot I was promised.

Am I the only one thinking that this may be Bender’s grandfather?

Neat… faster than the pipe bender at my muffler shop I guess. Unless that dude has huge hands, that pipe looks a lot smaller than 1.25″
