Design Dilemma

Re: Design Dilemma

if you can manage to get your hands on some higher grade hardox like 600 or 650 you could make a nice disk from it. a job lot of disks were made from hardox 650 a while ago, i think inertia xl runs one.

Re: Design Dilemma

by the way, seeing as you've come up with a nice viable design:

Apparently 650 grade isn't available in thin-ish form and that those discs were made as part of an experimental batch or something (or so the guy from SSAB told us a few years ago on here). So if you want a hardox 650 disc, you'll have to wait for one of the batch to come up for sale, assuming its dimensions fit your needs, or spend a tonne of money on a huge big thick bit of 650 and machine the hell out of it :P

Don't know why embedding is causing a problem for folk. Just click the 'youtube' button below the bold and italic buttons in the posting section and then paste the link between the brackets. So in text form, it should look like this:

I'll just leave this here

Re: Design Dilemma

hmm, it appears i forgot the / in the last set of brackets. you might want to look into other types of wearplate then. i know dillidur goes up to 500.
also give these people a call first, they have loads of hardox/weldox and on site waterjet.

thanks gary, that illustrates my point rather well.

Re: Design Dilemma

any material will blunt over time or if it doesn't blunt it breaks. With the energies in a spinner even in a featherweight it's not surprising that materials can't stand up to the abuse on small areas

Re: Design Dilemma

gary do you still have that ridonculous tool steel disc?

Re: Design Dilemma

I most certainly do. Why?

Re: Design Dilemma

Iwas just wondering if you could offer some insight into how well it holds up compared to hornet 2's hardly one.

Re: Design Dilemma

I've still to spin it up to any kind of speed. However spinning it by hand and smacking it off stuff did chip off the nitride coating on the tip so it appears you can go too hard with your materials
