so i was thinking about making a little tubing maker.

for aluminum only.

toyolla86 · « **Reply #1 on:** October 12, 2009, 09:20:45 PM »

oh yeah forgot to add that it (the tubing) would be made from sheet metal.

figured you guys could assume that much but just in case. the tool would be made from heavy iron

SloS13 · « **Reply #2 on:** October 12, 2009, 10:13:14 PM »

you'd need a mamajama hinge and probably some hydraulic pressure behind it unless you're using aluminum foil

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #3 on:** October 12, 2009, 10:39:28 PM »

what purpose would this serve? you can buy aluminum tubing reasonably cheap

toyolla86 · « **Reply #4 on:** October 12, 2009, 11:17:31 PM »

damn.

yeah aluminum foil would work perfect in my little apparatus.

hahahah.

naw i dont know it was just an idea.

and also as soon as i bent it the sides would be perpendicular and hitting the handle. thus it would
have to be cut to the precise measurements before hand.

i was thinking of bending like 12 inch sections at a time. and welding the halves together.

toyolla86 · « **Reply #5 on:** October 12, 2009, 11:18:23 PM »

or what about preheating the metal.

toyolla86 · « **Reply #6 on:** October 13, 2009, 11:58:18 AM »

^^^

hahahah what?

that would defeat the purpose man.

then i wouldnt get to build anything.

Unless you are tying to make some ungodly large diameter tubing, I really do not see the point.

Simpler idea:
Press
Ditch the hinges and let your device become a set of dies.

An even simpler idea would be to employ the use of a set of slip rolls. Then you could make all kinds of different radius rolls and even be able to create tapers as well without using an unnecessary amount of materials just to create the machine.

good idea. and with the latter wouldnt that eliminate one of the welds. making it a single seam tube.

Ever use a set of slip rollers? Yeah, have fun......

Again, you are a fucking idiot.

what are you trying to accomplish with this that you cant easily and cheaply buy already made?

im not trying to bash cause i am a big fan of making things yourself, but i usually dont make my own raw materials. it just seems like more trouble than its worth unless you are making something that isnt redily available

If you can get aluminum stock leftovers, you can use a 3lb sledge and pound out your own sheets.

The only reason you may want to do this is for oval tubing. But even then you'd need a very long "press", and cutting/welding sheet+round tube would be far easier.

its like telling the retarded kid to stop banging his head while riding the bus...... let this mother fucker ride his little yellow bus...
