2" dia 16ga, 6"L alu tube, either 6082 or 6063.
1 end m/c'd to a plain spigot OD, the other OD threaded, No problems there.
The bore of this tube is an unmachined housing for a part with .005 - .008 clearance but I'm concerned should the tube may be of shape due to mis handling etc,
This is a free issue material, supplied cut and know the customer will want every inch out of a length
I'll make up a go/no go guage, but what to do with those that ''won't quite'' take the guage?
I thought along the lines of a barrel shaped sizing tool pushed through with lubricant,......... on the arbour press ?? ........... or is the tube likely to spring back?
So any thoughts or suggestions on that aspect please.
Thank you for your time, take care.
