Hey All,
I'm not sure this thread belongs on this site, since it's not about machining, but I'll give it a shot:
I'm rolling some 2" O.D. x 0.050" wall brass tubing for a bar footrail and I'm having lots of trouble. It's kinking, obviously.
I'm using a JD Squared Model 32 tube and pipe bender with 2" dies that give the bend a 7.5" outside radius. My last try I sleeved the primary tube with 1.875" O.D. x 1/16" wall brass tube, capped one end, filled it with PACKED, moist sand, and capped the other end. Still, I'm getting large kinks along the inside of the roll.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Mat
