Jim, I tried the same thing with 2" OD 1/8" wall , took the tubing to a muffler shop . They tried  twice and both times the tubing split . Maybe if he would have went slower?

Can someone tell me where I can find a swaging tool if such an animule exists.  By swaging tool I am talking about a tool that will make the inner diameter of an aluminum tube larger so the same size tube will fit into it. Also it will make the other end smaller. What is this tool actually called (since Google gives me nothing like what I am looking for under that search term) and where can it be found?

Thank you.
