Reply:What is the insert made of??  A heavy wall pipe modified to the diameter or a second roller??  What about the shaft and bearings?  Were they extended or modified in some way?
Reply:How many tacks did you use? Did the tacks hold the heat distortion? was it all welded without stopping?My Babies: HF Drill pressHF Pipe Bender3   4.5" Black and Decker angle grindersLincoln Electric PROMIG 175that´s it!
Reply:I'm wondering if the part is going to be machined after the fact, and if so, do you plan to anneal it?Last edited by halbritt; 09-15-2006 at 03:43 AM.-Heath
