Description
I'm Keith Fenner and this is my Job Shop. Join me as I perform old school repair jobs by drilling, milling, grinding, welding, plasma cutting, broaching and metalworking on a lathe. At Turn Wright Machine Works, we walk the talk and getter done!
After school, I started my career in naval ship repair as an outside machinist working as a civilian contractor at the helper level. 13.5 years later I had worked on almost every navy vessel in San Diego's harbor, 32nd Street, North Island and Point Loma. I added the classification of an inside machinist to my cap, and the capability of holding any personnel level in the work force.
After that I worked for two small companies that I helped to grow. In return, I gained my welding and shafting experience, before eventually taking a leave of absence to start my own business in 1994 - Turn Wright Machine Works - homesteading my talents here on Cape Cod.

we found if you anneal the pipe before bending, the pipe bends more evenly and reduces any fatigue cracks.

look into a product called Cerabend. We used it to bend tubes for the production of jet engine parts when the print didn't allow any deforming of the tube when bending. It's a metal but it melts in boiling water.

Nice vid as always kieth, you could try a rectangular block with one pivot point and the same radius as the part cut ot the other side in place of the roller kind of like the jd2 die sets it takes away that single point contact also. i used them for many jobs and worked well cheers.

I have seen the guys who make brass musical instruments, like French Horns, fill up the thin tubes with tar before bending them. Then they push steel balls down the tube to return it to a perfectly round shape; one large diameter ball followed by smaller balls to drive it through..

When bending brass tubing for band instruments they put water in the tubing, freeze it and bend it before it thaws. There is a chance it would split that tube though; just a thought or should I say after thought. blood blisters are a sign you have been doing something; like in the book "The Red Badge of Courage". I like your ideas especially when it could save a hard to get pick up, Greg.

Keith.if you make a steel ball just smaller than the tube id drill through, fasten steel cable to the ball you may be able to pull .the dents out of the tube radius with a porta power unit . Thats how the United Airlines tube shop does it. but they don't use a porta power they have a special bench setup to pull the ball through the tube.
