Need machining service!

[DamnJeep]

Alan? Anyone?

I need the die from my tube bender machined to accept a pipe size.

Right now it is set up for 1 5/8 tube (1.625") however I want it opened up for 1 1/4" pipe which is 1.660".

See how nice and tight the die fits the 1 5/8 tube?

And this is the pipe size in the same die.

Can anyone mill this die out for me for the larger size?

That round die would be a pain, but can be done. I'm guessing a new die is expensive or not available?

Yep. trying to work with what I got.

And yes. A pain in the ass to machine. Mill the flats first then rotate to get the radius.

Interested?

Sure, I could do it for you. Just getting some aircraft parts finished up, could do it before something else goes in the mill.
