  I have the Harbor Freight tubing roller and I believe it will easily roll a 
  48" diameter ring from 1" aluminum tubing. I haven't tried aluminum tubing 
  but it handles 1" and 2" steel tubing and 3/4"  copper tubing with ease, so 
  I can't imagine aluminum giving any problems at all.

  Subject: [TCML] Large Top Loads


  Hello,
  I am in the process of getting a large coil set up. I need something like a 
  48" diameter top load. The usual practice is to build one of dryer ducting 
  or foil coated hose. I have been envious of Greg Leyh's coils with there 
  tubing top loads. Along this line, I was looking for a tube roller to see if 
  aluminum rings could be fabricated at reasonable prices.

  Harbor Freight has a  manually driven version for about $150. [Not sure if 
  it could actually roll a 48" diameter x 1" aluminum tube.]  My question is: 
  has anyone tried to fabricate a top load made of a cluster of aluminum 
  tubing?

  Thanks,
  Jim Zimmerschied
