    Oh well, I wanted the steel for to make a former for my brother's tube bender...

    During the meanwhilest, Dick (the brother) has welded three 1/2" hot rolled plates together and ask me to turn a 7/8" radius into that


    I had to make the radius turning tool out of odds and sods (so don't take the P*** ). The fabricated plate turns quite well, except it has hard spot where it's been heated by the weld, making chatter over small random areas (very odd).

    The pics were taken about 0.1" from complete.
