Bending 32mm 304 Stainless

[SBK]

I need a few 600mm lengths of 32mm x 1.5 304 stainless tube bending to 180 degrees.

Is there anyone in the Beds or Cambs area that could do this for me in exchange
for some beer tokens ??

Cheers
Chris

Isn't stainless tube very difficult to bend ? i remember trying it years ago with a normal pipe benders and giving up, i just bought weld bends and it was a far better neater job.

With the correct bender its not really that much different than bending cds, moly or t45 tube.

I'd like a pound for everytime someone thought they could bend the types of tube listed above in one of those machine mart type benders that pushes the former directly from the ram (bow n arrow type)

We've got the right gear to do it. Done plenty of chromoly on it its a 50 tonne cnc bender. 304 of that size and weight should have a bout 5 degees of spring back.
