If it's solid then you heat it red hot and it bends like butter. If your doing a lot of bends you can make a bender like this. The radius of the bend is changed by different pin diameter. Here is 1/4" round chassis. |

Hey you do know there is a complete math process behind it also, I cant remember off hand the formula but it's something like radious x this x that = that  By the way I used this in the comercial electrical industry ounce you lern the formulas they become second nature.... Im not sure how much they would help in the kind of stuff you guys are trying to learn and do but im sure it can help and give you an idea..  I gave away all my books so i dont have the exact formula......... here are some sites I have found...... http://www.mittlerbros.com/INFORMATION_FORMULA_TUBE.htm Scroll down 3/4 of the way down http://www.vtech-1.com/tbcarticle.html You might even want to try this software completely free off there site, it's basicaly a tubing calculator w/ tons of options... http://www.floridaboulders.com/temp/attcalc53.exe Password: tube.fab.002 well good luck to you all |
