Donuts of steel...
In Howard's (Novacane) project update thread, steel donuts were mentioned as an alternative to piecing together several pieces of bent pipe to get around tight multiple bends in a header pipe.
Has anyone had any experience with the donuts? I have formed some idea of my own as to how they work, but would like to find out from someone who has actually delt with them.

I've used them quite a bit, but I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. It's just like using a U or J bend, except once you have your piece cut out, you have to weld the inside seam.

You just cut out the piece you need, just as you would with a u-bend?
I guess it's safe to assume that the donuts have a much tighter radius?
