Well, hell

Thanks. My search for bending 6061 didn't get any hits, hence this post.

Now, I could get the 24" pieces in the oven, provided my wife isn't home , and make up some kind of home bender, but the 48" piece is gonna be a problem.

Any suggestions?

Soooo, I have a 12" x 48" sheet of .063 6061 aluminum. Customer wants a 1 1/2" 90 bend on the bottom to make an "L". This will be an end piece for a 3 sided box. (think back wall) Two "side pieces" are same .063, 12" x 24". They will require the same bott...

That's the way I took it. Harvey / Jeffery.......it's all the same Epstein to many in today's dumbed down society.

Corona beer took a hit for that very reason. Yes, people can be THAT stupid.

^^^^^. Got my LaSquare thru them. Good people to deal with

I've only had it about a month now. Height seems ok for me. I guess it really depends on what stool you are using and if it's adjustable. Mine is. Jody has a video on making an adjustable stool for this very reason. I'll see if I can find it. I'll measure the floor to top height next time I'm down a...

https://texasmetalworks.com/product/weld-table-diy-kit-30-x-48/ I bought this one. Their leg kit can be customized for whatever height you want. Standard is 38". Leg brace allows for sitting and pedal access. Not a top of the line table, but certainly works for what I do. They are great people ...

My sincere apologies. I confused the everlast 255 with the 275.
Can you ever forgive me?

I went with the Primeweld 225. 3 yr warranty. Paid shipping both ways.....Not that you want to use it

Smaller machine I know....

I'm thinking threading will be a no go. Between the thin tubing and the bevel / chamfer.....a strong breeze would knock that out. IMHO

That said, welding 1/16 to 1/8 sounds reasonable to me.

Ha, I just finished watching one of Jody's DVDs on welding 2" pipe for a 6g test. I think it's a 3-4 part video. Good stuff.

Not sure if it's still up on YT. This is on his 2012 collection. If you can find it....Great viewing.

If not, is there a way I can upload it for you?

Got a picture of what you're fabricating?

Very cool! Hope Jody sees this post

As for fabricating, a friend of mine says he just takes his cost of material and times it by 3. Very simple and seems to work for him. Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk So would that be just for labor, then plus the material (basically 4x material cost is total) or would that be a total for the ...

Would that be just for labor and then PLUS the material cost or would that be a total?
