I have a job at work where I have to put a standard 37 degree flare on some HEAVY duty stainless steel tubing.... .500 OD .065 wall. We bought a couple of hand flaring tools, one costing over $300.... no go. They use a screw in type of male tool, and it stops well short of making a good flare before you just can't tighten it any more.
The finished parts have to pass a 4800 PSI test & I'm nowhere close to that.
Any experience here? Maybe a hydraulic unit?
Thanks!
