I know this is an amateur newsgroup but you guys have some pretty clever ideas sometimes. I was visited by an architect today that needs
1500' of 2" x 2" SS T-bar prepared with a radial and very smooth tip on one "point" of the Tee. The long leg will be buried in concrete, in a horizontal position with the single leg sticking out of the concrete to run sliding doors on. This is a very expensive residential construction project. I have had several ideas and will not mention any here for fear of deflecting a great idea one of you might have. I have talked to a large polishing shop, specializing in linear polishing, that has no way to make a radial edge but can polish one once created. The material is already rolled and waiting the drilling and finishing and couldn't be extruded in the shape we need as you can't extrude SS. I think I can get enough budget to create a custom machine if necessary but we are trying to avoid that. Got a cleaver idea? Leigh at MarMachine.- posted
