At seventy millimetres in 1.2 mm that limit is reached sooner than at forty, which is why large bends sweep wide — not a design choice but a consequence of what the tooling can do without wrecking the section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoom for the Sweep\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure the arc, not the angle. A forty-five degree bend at this diameter occupies a great deal more space than the number suggests, and on a motorcycle that space is usually shared with the rear wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeat Input at 1.2 mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThicker material takes more heat and takes longer to reach it. Settings carried over from the thinner diameters give a cold bead that sits on the surface instead of fusing — visible as a raised, shiny line that has not wetted in at the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCutting a Large Bend Square\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHalf a degree of error across seventy millimetres is more than half a millimetre of gap at the far side. A bandsaw with a proper vee support beats an angle grinder here by a wide margin, and a paper template beats freehand marking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStorage Before It Is Used\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA large thin bend is easy to spoil in a workshop. Keep it off concrete, away from grinding work, and capped at both ends — embedded steel dust from an angle grinder is what makes stainless rust in spots that look like a material fault and are not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOrdering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne bend per article.
