How can I cut 1/2 inch glass tubing without breaking it?  Can I purchase a glass tube cutter?  Where?

Do you have a dremel tool. If not use a metel file and make an indent around the entire tube.Put a little spit on your finger tip and rub it on the indent. Take a tourch and heat the tube at the indent until you can see it start to turn red and snap the tube.

I go to the National Ave Cutting Company at National and Bennet across from Mexican Villa. They do a terrific job and cuts and colors and they are not too overpriced. I would try them out!

What you are describing is called Tubigrip (brand name). It comes in different sizes depending on the area which you would be treating, wrist vs. ankle vs. thigh. Your best bet to get this material would be to call the therapy place where you got it previously and ask if they will sell you another piece (at our clininic it gets charged by the inch or foot depending on length). Another option would be to go to, or call,  a health equipment store and see if they carry the Tubigrip and can sell it to you or if you can order a box from them. Good luck.

Imagine cutting the tube down its length and opening it up into a long, narrow rectangle.  The outside area would be the length times the width.  The width of the rectangle is really the circumference of the circular cross section of the tube.  Thus, since you know the diameter, you have this:\n\nsurface area = length * pi * diameter\n\nwhere pi is approximately 3.14159265358979.\n\nNote, if the tube is not flexible, you have to be careful measuring the length of the bent tube.  it is the length of an imaginary line through the center of the tube, but as the other answerer pointed out, you can get this by taking the average of the "inside the curve" length and the "outside the curve" length.  Of course, if the tube is flexible, just straighten it out and measure it.\n\n\nNote--straightening, cutting and opening up, etc., will change the area slightly as it stretches part of the tube and compresses another part--this is a very small effect (unless you tie the tube into a tight knot or something) and probably can't easily be measured well anyway--should be too small to matter in most applications.

Stainless comes in many different grades and hardnesses, but generally will cut with a standard tool steel drill bit.\n\nThere are HS tool steel hole saws made for cutting larger holes than most drills go that would cut a hole as well.\n\nYou may need to find a supplier for quality tools, as the tools you can buy in a mass market building center are closer to toys than tools.

The tempered safety glass in windshields is designed to break up into small pieces with fewer sharp edges.  Try picking some of it up -- do you see any long shards that could manage to puncture the thick rubber of your tire treads?  Any that could cut you deeply?\n\nThat's why he wasn't too concerned about it.

You want to use a 23/32 .718 drill bit.\nStart by spot drilling with a 1/4 or so then drill with the .718 bit.

a lathe with a quick release chuck would be the best option, especially if their are multiple items however if this isnt practicle for you then its either an external de-burring tool or a file im afraid

use scotch tape. If there is a clean break, just tape it on both sides, you might see a small skip, that's all. If the tape has been stretched you need to cut that part out and join the two ends.

First I want to say YEAH RIGHT! Like you are just curious and not wanting to make something for yourself to use . Haha!\nI don't know of any sites but I know you can use a soda can. My friends and I made a water bong from one of those tall amusment park cups back in the day. \nGood luck =)

Making a metal bender is not a small job, even if you had plans that you liked and a machine shop to use.  It would take you weeks if not months.  Just the fact that you can't do it without instructions says a lot.  What you need to do is buy a new one from Harbor Freight and spend your time cleaning, deburring and rebuilding it.  They're made in China and their workmanship is poor but they can be reworked into something good.  All the nuts and bolts hardware is total crap and needs to be replaced for example.  They have several to choose from starting at $120 for an 8" up to $1000 for a big one.  I would recomend the 30" shear/brake/rolls combination for $400, item # 05907-8AMH, 308 pounds including crate I suppose.  Do you really want to be cutting on 300 pounds of steel to save a couple bucks?  Probably not.  You can get a free catalog by calling 1-800-423-2567. Also check their website at Harborfreight.com.  Good luck.
