I Ridgid #E-64...

well I was wanting to use the pipe for two reasons 1) save expense of three flanges per section 2) make a solid piece that didn't have to be attached

Yes looking for a tool that simple clamps on like a flaring tool but then 90's a ring (not 37 or 45) for the clamp to catch on. I don't need the o-ring groove it will have just a flat silicon gasket

Here are a couple more pictures just for reference, you can see the 3" pipe will need ferrule's top & bottom as well as the 2" pipe so it would be much more convent to buy a tool to make them rather...

Ok first ya'll will have to excuses me because I have NO IDEA what to properly call this tool , I will try to describe it best I can.

Ok I am trying to find a place to set up the valve grinder so it doesn't get lost in "I know I have it somewhere in here" category again.

just a quick search but servos is a pretty good step up in the cost

how big of machine is your 570oz steppers mounted on?

I was thinking if I got 200 IPM I would be ecstatic I think I would...

ya size wise a Bridgeport is probably a good comparison
