Hi Folks,
I’m knocking a few ideas around my head regarding this, but I thought id ask here to see if anyone has any good ideas that I may not have considered.
Up until now, I have been cutting all my mandrel bend tube with the vertical bandsaw and a die setup, so obviously I get a 100% perpendicular cut to the centreline of the bend radius.
Basically im getting tired of this setup, and its very difficult to get the desired pressure/feed rate by feeding the tube into the blade by hand, id much rather cut it horizontally.
Plus its way better and much less mess with my DiY cooling system (this is probably the biggest reason actually)
So, has anyone got any tips for example if I was to cut this tube for example 2” around the bend on a horizontal bandsaw to get a perfect perpendicular cut?
Thanks chaps
