I need to bend some 1.5" thin wall Al tube (not structural, obviously). Conduit benders don't come that big. I think a Harbor Freight pipe bender would be fine for the job. Anybody local have one I can borry? If not I may pick one up (they're even on sale at the moment).

I don't know if I've ever talked to Sonu. Nice way to meet someone, "Hi, I'm Jon, let me borrow your stuff, ok?" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
I know Tony could do this for me but I'm trying to do as much myself as I can (without everything looking like butt), plus I'd like to learn from it. Thanks for helping me decide against another piece of crap from HF I don't need. |
