What tubing material and size is used for this cage tube?

2.00 DOM tubing, bent with a 2" 7RD die (tooling), with a centerline radius (CLR) of 7.294.

What is the cut length and weight of each side tube?

Cut length is 87.83 and weight is 17.6 for each piece.

How many bends does each tube have and what are the bend locations?

Each tube has 4 bends at locations 6.18, 22.88, 38.30, and 76.12 with bend angles of 58, 14, 72, and 20 degrees respectively.

How do the two documents (tubes) differ?

They are mirror images: same locations, angles, and CLR, but different rotations. Document 3 uses rotations 0, 66, 347, 72 while Document 2 uses 0, 294, 13, 288. The Bend 1 dimension entries also mirror (left 1 vs right 1).

This is a screenshot of the Bend-Tech PRO tube bending software showing two open documents (Document 2 and Document 3), each defining one side tube of a roll cage design — apparently mirrored left/right pieces for a 1996 Ford Bronco cage project. Both parts use 2.00 DOM tubing with a 2" 7RD bending die, a cut length of 87.83 inches, and a weight of 17.6 lbs. Each part has 4 bends with a 7.294 centerline radius (CLR). Document 3's bend schedule: bend 1 at location 6.18, rotation 0, angle 58; bend 2 at 22.88, rotation 66, angle 14; bend 3 at 38.30, rotation 347, angle 72; bend 4 at 76.12, rotation 72, angle 20. Document 2 mirrors these with rotations of 0, 294, 13, and 288 at the same locations and angles. The Custom 3D Part panels show Apex dimension entry with coordinates (to ceiling 6, to back 5.5, with left/right offsets of 1 mirrored between the two parts). A 3D render of the bent tube appears in each window. A fabricator can use these locations, rotations, and angles to duplicate the cage side tubes on a bender with matching tooling.
