In this video " Mastering The Art Of Flaring Exhaust Pipes And Stainless Tubes: Diy Die Making For Perfect Shapes!" I explain my woes of trying to flare an exhaust tube which I needed for an ongoing project. Trying to have a few places do it for me had no success. Unfortunately living rural my options are quite limited. In the end, I think what i ended up doing here, thinking outside the box pays off. I can now flare exhaust pipe tubing over and over and not have to leave the garage. Pretty sweet right? First I explain how to flare exhaust tubing with this method i've chosen. Skip to 6:35 to see the tube get flared, I searched high and low for answers on this online, and saw a handful or Reddit articles and FB posts, no one really answered with "make a die"... which now, I mean it by wouldn't you? let me know what you guys think in the comments below. I love doing fabrication projects and figuring out how to DIY things. this is obviously the first try, and could definitely be improved. So far this works perfect every single time! And this is with 304 stainless! I think it's a great starting point to realize just how much you can do with a few key tools! I know they make flanging tools for swagers and stuff, but they are quite far out of my budget haha. Keep in mind this way of tooling, or forming, can be applied to many different situations and scenarios to help you achieve the outcome you need!
Hope you enjoy the video! Cheers!
