The trickiest aspect of tube drilling when dealing with rounded tubing is holding the section firmly in place so that the hole can be created. Naturally the round edge will want to rotate as it is placed, dramatically increasing the risk of slipping and damaging the surface of the tube. This also puts the operator of the drill at risk of injury. Continue reading →

There are many different products that utilise tubes in their design, whether it is fencing, handrails, plumbing or heating systems. In each case the tubing needs to be durable so that it doesn’t bow, bend or warp. This can be difficult when long sections are needed. A solution is to utilise smaller sections of tube joined together to increase the strength and cut the amount of weight that each section is bearing. Continue reading →

Drilling holes in tubing is tricky, whether you deal with plastic or metal varieties. This is because the edge is curved rather than being flat, making it more difficult for the drill bit to bite into the metal and increasing the risk of slipping. Metals create additional challenges as a result of the hardness of the material. Continue reading →

The qualities the material make it the most ideal metal to use for carrying and distributing water in terms of both costs and safety. Whilst the benefits are impressive, one of the down sides to using brass tubes in plumbing systems is that the general advice is to not manipulate or bend them. This is a problem that we can assist you with. Continue reading →

Most people would be aware of the fact that aluminium is one of the most widely used forms of metal in the world today.

Due to the way that most of us encounter the material a common perception is that aluminium is too weak a material to create tubes from, let alone carry out tube bending on. We can understand why someone would draw this conclusion, as the most usual encounter you would have with it is in the form of tinfoil or a drinks can. In terms of metal tubes, there are different alloys of the material which are thicker and more suitable to use. Continue reading →
