--- Quote from: Dean W on April 09, 2010, 11:09:30 PM ---Joe, a number of the sizes you need are commercially available. For instance, 1", 1.125", 1.25", 1.375" and 1.5" tube all in .035" wall are all common sizes in 4130. This would be a LOT easier than trying to roll tube as small as one inch diameter. --- End quote --- I have tried locating a single source for all the sizes and was not successful. Also buying small quantities and paying cutting charges along with shipping costs can get to be expensive. Couple that with the space required to store the tubes until they are used up plus having to cut and true up each piece as they are needed makes "roll my own" seem like a better solution. It also gives me a project to work on. Materials gathering goes on as does designing. More later. Joe |
