I pipe bender will be able to do tube *IF* it has the dies. The drama is that tube is measured on the outside diametre & pipe is measured via its inside diametre.

Therefore if you can find a die to suit the outside diametre of the tube & the thickness of the tube is not thicker than the maximum allowable for the machine, you will be right.
