Re: Bending Square aluminium tubing

For low-strength applications you could cut notches out of one side with a band saw (or whatever) and then bend it. We did that with some aluminum angle for the back support of our ball shooter back in 2006 and it worked pretty well. I wouldn't use this method for anything that's going to be under a lot of load without reinforcing it though.
