32NB Dawn will do a tighter radius than the equivalent Speedworx die.

top is DAWN die and bottom is SPEEDWORX

move the rollers out and clean all the soft powdercoating off them (back to bare steel) so they actually roll.

Ummm...Change that!

25NB Dawn does about 160mm
25NB Speedworx does about 180mm

Don't have actual measurements for the 32NB but the Speedworx is slightly tighter than the Dawn. Only going by holding a sample up to some existing tubework on my buggy.

Regardless, I still say that a Dawn die will do better quality bend (less deformation) than the equivalent Speedworx. Unfortunately it's just slower and less user friendly.
