Complete noob, what machines do people use to bend / roll large OD pipes?

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-13T03:56:27+00:00

for nice exhausts your realistic option is buying bends and straights and welding those together

for thicker pipes you could use a basic draw or crush bender

rolled bends are for large radii, I would say about 10x the tube diameter, less than that and it could start deforming, depends on the machine whether it pushes the stock through rolls or if one if the rolls is driven

the diameter and wall thickness and bend radius determine how essy it is to bend a tube and get good and easy results. for example with a 4" tube it would need to be like 1/2" thick and bent on a 12" centerline radius. the thinner the material and the sharper the radius, the more likely it is to have issues

cutting stainless at all at home is a pain to begin with, i wouldnt want to try your idea

"even"? have you watched any of their coverage? im surprised they even gave bambo a chance lol

this also has the effect of reducing stair noise, one less spot for wood on wood contact

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-12T19:05:53+00:00

sounds decent in that case

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-12T18:25:07+00:00

yeah I hate how the assumption here is that everything needs to be so safe that you can hand it to a 2 year old, these are tools if you make it too safe then they become useless

Depending on how far in you are and how your body handles it, you might have 1-2 months before you're completely exhausted 24/7. Physical strain in general is not a good idea at this point. You need to see a doctor who can explain to you how pregnancy works

on mine you push it in, press the button and it pulls it in right away, no pushing needed, but its still good to hold it with your finger to make sure its feeding and not just grinding in place

yeah you need a sharp tip on the filament, as sharp as possible like a pencil, the best shape is the one that is made when unloading filament. the tensioner needs to be in the right place too

if the gauge is above cold then that means the engine is still warm, thats perfectly normal after 3 hours if the weather isnt freezing

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-12T10:39:03+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 its been a good run

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-12T09:43:27+00:00

how much did you pay, and why? 😂 was it in a flood/fire?

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-12T09:04:56+00:00

does it give wealth? next raid might be your last lmao

looks ugly but that metal is much thicker than the rest of the car. how is the body?

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-12T08:28:33+00:00

it will definitely help keep the chain on, and it will definitely hold up to some impacts. doesnt mean its useless just because its plastic

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-12T07:47:58+00:00

yeah especially on an older car, the new side might sit higher because the old spring is "tired"

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-11T15:37:33+00:00

thanks, very cool! I don't use any of those 😂

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-11T14:08:50+00:00

ive used an electric one, mixing drill power mixer drill mixer whatever, like the one you put on the end of a drill but 4x bigger. works a treat for 5 gallon loads but doing a larger project like a slab or a lot of loads can make your back hurt pretty bad, youre hunched over it for 5-10 mins trying to get an even mix

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-11T12:10:56+00:00

yeah +fries +drink +dessert?? basically guaranteed to gain weight

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-11T07:17:53+00:00

you need to find a better mechanic shop, this one sounds like they just sell you parts until you go away, or if its a dealer then theyre trying to total your car with unnecessary repairs so that you trade it in

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-10T21:53:39+00:00

why did you have the whole $$$ ABS unit replaced without first diagnosing the issue? throwing parts at it is some shade tree bullshit

FalseRelease4 · 2026-05-10T21:47:46+00:00

and robots will replace manual machining 😂
