Material was on time and right on spec. All of our locations will contact you in the future. Thank you. I appreciate your diligence and quality on this one. Any job, big or small, CMRP has come through. Our fab and installation is going very well thanks to the quality of your work. Beat the schedule. No complaints from the project site. We will definitely use you again.
That's why you guys are the best in the business! Exactly the same for the last 40 years. We won't even question where to send our rolled plates in the future. We have never been disappointed. I will recommend your company to others. Working with you is a joy! It has been a pleasure. You could use a machine but that is very expensive and probably not what you are looking for. If you really are very dirt poor with little resources get a piece of pipe 2in in diameter or larger place it in a vice.
Then clamp the end of your tubing to the side now as you pull on the other end of the material it will bend around the pipe. Note that this will not be easy it will take a lot of force but has to be slow and controlled force or you will end up with a sub par bend. It is not how you are supposed to do it but it will definitely work. Best of luck to you. A slightly more processed plate—we think it was partially annealed—bent easily at a much smaller radius.
Can it be done without bending? Can you use regular sheet metal? I would ask They said something about not using a special machine due to size constraints. As others have noted, it is possible to bend 1. But it is not easy unless you have the right machinery, and that is expensive. You also need the right kind of aluminum, and T6 is not it. Do your homework to find a better material. That being said, you can make a fixture that will improve your chances of success.
Steel or aluminum? What gauge? You can also cut a few pieces of tube that can act as a sleeve to the existing rollers on the tubing bender. That bender works great for gradual curves. If you want a sharper radius, maybe fill the square tube with sand. Steel tube probably about 16 ga. So the idea is to make a flat bottomed curved die out of wood and put steel sides on it.
I guess that could work. I saw a pretty simple DIY square tube bender on youtube but it required the use of a lathe. I may put a piece of square tube in the round tube die just to see what happens the next time I'm at my friends place. Electric Vehicles. Manufacturing Software. Materials Handling. Oxyfuel Cutting.
