As part of the fabrication of our new chandelier, we needed to bend 20 stainless steel tubes.  The tubes are 2.5″ in diameter 304 grade with 0.065″ wall.  First we performed several tests on the rollers to make sure the tube wouldn’t buckle or crimp.  All went well so we purchased the material, got the bend radii from the CAD model and bent our tubes.  Here is the result.
