    Default Can anyone bend 1" steel round tube or know where to find 1" OD 90° elbow

    Making a roof rack and dont have a pipe bender. I am having a hard time finding 1" 90° elbows. So I am thinking I will have to find someone to make the bend for me. Hoping to keeping it on the cheap end. Any suggestions?

    If I'm ever at a party and the cops come to arrest people. Ill blindfold myself, throw the ball gag in, handcuff my hands, and hide in a closet. Police never arrest hostages!

    Isnt it quite hard to weld stainless to mild? Ive never tried that. I tried welding stainless to stainless with stainless wire but had a 75/25 gas and I got no penetration.

    Depends on the welding process used. MIG it's tough to do but easy peasy with TIG.
