We need to press a few hundred saddles to fit around the underside of 42.4 handrail tube.
We'll get them laser cut from 3mm mild steel, countersunk, then we need to press them. We have a horizontal bender which will do the pushing. I've a lump of 40mm BDMS that should do for the 'punch', but what's the best way to form the 'die'?.....Does it need to be shaped or would an old bit of bottom vee tooling to it?
