If you honestly think mandrel bending tubes is easy you are a fool. I am not speaking of the crude tube benders most racers are used to seeing/ using. Those are a complete joke. :lol: I am talking about 3 axis cnc stuff that can run as many bends per tube as you want in one cycle. Some jobs we do have as many as 6- 10 bends in them( most are only 4-5) with positive and negative rotations between bends.. BENDS MUST BE HELD WITHIN 2 tenths of a degree and the finished parts have to fit a gauge with .020" over saddles(on a 3" tube the saddles measure 3.020) ...yeah it doesn't take any type of skill to do that without junking several parts in the process. :roll:
We run everything from .375 x .065 up to 7" x .120 wall
Most of our stuff is on "1 to 1 " tube dia - radius ( 3" tube x3 radius etc)
bending 6" .065 wall tubing on a 6" radius over 100 deg bends. We also do 5" .065 316 and 304 stainless on a 5" radius...
5" .071 ALUMINUM ON a 6" radius. (without ripping the tube in half because as we all know aluminum is soft)
my only point was you are acting like a little child with the name calling. Changing someones name into an insult is the type of stuff 3rd graders do. And you refered to them as
"mentally unarmed" several times. I think the thread served it's purpose. It has shown the rest of us what kind of "man" you are, and it certainly shows that you are not the type of individual most of us care to do any type of busines with. Congratulations on your magazine article and your racing success.
Have a good one.
Todd
