Weazle-
Is this stuff like a 90 degree exhaust pipe used for chimneys?  If so,
people have used that in the past with somee sucess, but I think it looks
kinda crumby... Or, is it the stainless steel ventalation tubing? My shop
class at school uses this stuff in their dust collection system, and it's
rust and dent free after 20 years of service! I'm going to see if I can't
find out where they got this stuff.  It looks REALLY nice, and I've
personally tested it's durability ; )
I've seen it in diameters ranging from 2-6 inches at school and up to 14" at
a field trip to Ft. McCoy...
Any one else seen this stuff?
Safe coiling,

-Michael
