protecting small OD tubing
I am making a few trinkets that use 5/64 (.078) OD .006 wall brass
tubing. I bought the tubing and the bender from K&S.. the people who seem to make every size of thin wall tubing known to man. The design dictates such a thin wall, so that cannot change, so I am looking for ways to protect this tubing. I have to bend it aout 20 degrees, so I noticed that aside from just bending the tubing, the coil style tubing bender... link: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXR791 would do a great job protecting the tubing also.. So... instead of buying a bunch of tubing bender kits, just for this one size... I am now looking for a vendor who may sell some this coil type stuff that would fit my 5/64 OD tubing. I have about 20 short lengths of tubing to protect, so I need at least several feet of it. After 20 minutes of googling every wording I could think of, I thought maybe someone here would know what that stuff is called??? thanks! |

Try tubing bender +spring But I don;t believe you will find it in less then 1/4". Bruce-in-Bangkok (correct email address for reply) |
