I still can't imagine building my setup with preset curves. It would sure take alot of prefab pieces...
You are wrong Mangler! Any welder that welds tubing for food processing plants must be able to make those types of welds. They must be fully penatrated and not protrude into the ID of the tubing. If a welder cannot make those types of welds he cannot weld food proccess tubing. smile
