Hello,
I have checked to machine the part out of a thick tube.
But even if I get the ideal tube, it's still not cost effective. The problem is raw material price. The machining cost is small (at least here in China) compare to raw material cost.
We deal with 316L stainless steel. It's very expensive (IMO when I buy it, but not when I sell it).
John, I am glad I met someone that worked with GFM machine.... could you please tell me more about those machines?
