These tubes should be adjustable so that the gap between the two tubes can be increased or decreased depending upon the thickness of material that you are bending. For example 3mm acrylic the gap should be set to 12mm, for 6mm material the gap should be set to 18mm, for 8mm material the gap should be set to 24mm - 26mm etc. Rule of thumb is generally 3 times the thickness of material equals the gap between tubes. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/How-to-bend-Acrylic/62595 Tue, 12 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/How-to-bend-Acrylic/62595 This article provides information about different types of micro fibers, how they are manufactured, what are the exact weights of it and importance of it.
