It's a big place



But apparently it employees about 25 people

Average annual revenue of over $7 mil

 

Imma answer cause I deal with this all the time ordering metal. Pipe is pressure rated and based off a nominal OD regardless of thickness (usually expressed in schedule) tube is more often structural and measured in an exact OD dimension

 

So I was right saying tube all along?

 

Boss is one of the good ones and feels the shop should buy all the tools a tech needs, but is still a cheap ass and buys stuff like that lol. I'll use shop tools but I usually prefer to use my own mostly because I'll buy mid tier tools and curse at them less

 

Well I'll keep my 1.5mil, 5 employee ass in my own lane then

 

Yeah I just want to order my shit over the phone, and figure what will get me there quicker (and if I'd need anything else)

 

It's like Headstrong some years back; horrible communication so I bought elsewhere

Fuck that company

 

When talking about the bender? Yea, tube is correct. DOM is exact in its OD

 

Just didn't wanna sound more like a dummy, cause I was pretty sure I knew not to use pipe as it has a different use and is measured differently

 

No you're absolutely right, warehouse/manufacturer that size should absolutely have the front support staff necessary to handle anyone that wants a phone order. Even tho I prefer email, I never let a customer go more than 24hrs without returning a call if they leave a message on the machine

 

Word.

I'm in the market for a tube bender that has square dies at 1", right now I'll only need 1/2" 2d round dies but eventually I'll need to do 1.25" thin wall for intake tubing

 

yeah, shut it

 

Unfortunately there is no "one size fits all" even in the same diameter but I was between a 5.5" centerline radius and 6.5" 180 degree die for 1.75" DOM

Figure it'd be perfect for bumper, slider, and bed delete work

 

I will, I talk like it's mine but bossman is technically "selling" it to his daughter and I'm not in charge of anything yet

 

I'd go 5.5 but only cause I prefer the look of a tighter bend... I also use a 2" die for my half inch tube lol

we hand bend the handsaw piping, different styles but just myself, I probably bend 200 of these sets a year

I really just wanna buy a little cnc bender, if I could find one for 5k or less I'm getting it lol

 

Man, that's bitching!

And yeah I would go 5.5" but 6.5" ain't a deal breaker.

I just don't want to go waiting for months for a die.

 

Yeah imma pass

 

it's giving bad touch
