news:10njca3$3jr03$2@dont-email.me...I made custom (steel) bender dies, I think by rotating the blank against a
fly cutter set to the tube diameter.
----------------------
No, that die was cut with an end mill to fit 1/2" OD tubing. An endmill cuts faster, a fly cutter or boring head could make the light finish cut. I mill with the end instead of the side flutes so I can regrind it without changing the diameter.
