Looks good Robroy, great job. I noticed on the split straps you did not us rubber, on all the SS I've seen they always used the rubber, is there a reason for this (ie; cut down on vibration)?

Yeah, we were in a bind, and those were all that we're available! I like the rubber ones a lot more.

After a day, you will love them. It took a little getting used to. Nothing a couple swear words couldn't fix!

There isn't one. You mark it where you want the back of your 90, and put that on the "L" mark.

Great job RobRoy as usual. My only complaint is the marks. To me it takes away from the "good looks" of your pipe work when you leave a sharpie ring around the whole pipe. If I use a sharpie I try to make a tiny mark that no one can see, and then I spend an hr looking for my mark Anyways, Im just a little OCD. Great job man

Looks like a nice, clean job. I used to work in an instrument shop that built analyzers. I ran lots of micro-polished stainless during that time. Man, that's a small fortune in swage-loks in those bins. Do you program the smart transmitters too?

I have to agree, It was looking real good until I seen the sharpie rings.
IMO Sharpie marks on pipe just screams Rookie. 
Other than that it looks cool.

Actually there are deductions but their so minute and the tubing is so pliable that they really don't come into play, especially when you bend it like you referred to. But when doing offsets and saddle or having to turn the bender around some measurements are required.
