That's great, Doug, Thanks
I didn't mean to distract this thread, apologies!

Re: Warp across grain when bending
Barry,
Prestige is nice for some but I've had good use with titanium and much better luck than with stainless.
Are you using blue spring steel in your bender? If so, what thickness is it? Does it develop memory? What is your experience using it? How stiff is it when you're taking the side out after bending? Where did you get it"
Thanks for the help.

I use spring steel at a thickness of .012". It returns to flat even after bending cutaways. It is available from MSC and other metal suppliers and it costs somewhere around $20 to $25 for a couple of sheets.

Good to know. Thanks Barry. At the moment I just need to get what works. You and Michael have given me that.
