lone Wolf Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Good job on the reverse bending Robert! Do you think the .261" DR (O-1) is about the same inch-for-inch as a G5? I've never tried it, but a female friend of mine has started bending (and will probably quit in a week or two like last time, lol) again and she crushed down a 6" G5-Triangle from 90 degrees to 2" over a period of about 3 minutes. She wanted to know about what size of O-1 to buy to train with (easier than a G5 of course) and slightly harder to get really strong with. She insists on buying all DR, even though I told her it'd be cheaper for now to just buy a bunch of 1/4" CRS and do a bunch of volume with it. Ben the .257 is real close to the G5 maybe just a tad easyier I'm hoping the .261 at 6" will give the 6.5" G8 will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks Robert! I knew you'd know. You're becoming quite the expert on Drill Rod yourself. I deal mostly with the .3125" and above, but the other stuff is priceless too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
