I have been asked by a customer to come up with a way of CNC profiling small to medium size thin wall tubes created in Solidworks. Most of the profiling will be the ends ready for welding but some will be mid tube for access holes. If anybody knows of a machine that will do it so save reinventing the wheel please shout failing that any ideas would be really appreciated.
TIA
Paul

Laser
Super X3. 3600rpm. Sheridan 6"x24" Lathe + more. Three ways to fix things: The right way, the other way, and maybe your way, which is possibly a faster wrong way.

Re: Help needed on tube profiler
Hi Neil
No mate needs to be a 1/8" milling bit, cheap readily available and real low tech. Was thinking about a 4th axis head something like a Nikken with a collet system as the basis for a machine
Cheers
