I would like to make some 360 degree hoops of either 1/2 EMT, or preferably
3/4 EMT for a model RR project ( helix construction). Would like to get approx
60" dia circle. Can you tell me how I might best go about this?

A tubing roller works most smoothly, but a hickey is a lot cheaper.
How smooth do you want the bends, and how many of these are you
making? I'd suggest buying the tubing bender, making 3x the number
you need, and selling the rest to pay for the bender. Make sure the
tubing stays straight through the bender or you'll end up with a
spiral.

And you wouldn't want that if you seek a helix. (Sorry, I can't read.)


And, whatever you do, don't tell us what you're making. We
love staying in suspense.

Show them to the local gardening club to get sales. Women love that
crap for their gardens. g
