I need to get a 1" diameter aluminium tube straightened, it's the inner section of a telescopic pole saw. I see lots of devices advertised but they are either for small bore pipes or scaffold tubes. Ideally I need a firm in SE England to do the job.
As the part is £100 I doubt I could get a steel plate drilled with 8 holes and 8 rollers formed with a 180 degree 1" radius made to do the job economically unless many others have bent their pole saws.
Any suggestions?

I think you'd be better looking for a new bit of tube from somewhere.
That was my thought, or even a sold piece as its the inner tube and obviously the weakest.
Plumber/electrician tube bender works both ways:-)
Standard formers may not suit. Never going to be perfect but it might get you back to work.
