hdpe 250mm dia bar

[beast]

looked at direct plastics

wanted or a cheap place to buy for making of kart wheels as I am giving up on ally wheels
1 play fight with TAN lasted about 10 seconds been running them like that for a year and only had 3 puncture's so its time for another change
so 250 dia x 100mm or bigger

John, how long would it take for Kan Opener to destroy your wheels?

I'll ask my normal supplier about the options we have.

The simple one is full disks to be machined.
The more involved is welding a plate in a tube. Cheaper in parts, but with a failure point and more work extra.

Also, I just asked Jeroen (TAN) that he's willing to do the turning and milling for this, and he agrees. (my lathe can't take 250mm without a load of work)

Glues don't work with HDPE. If you want to join it then you need to weld it. For attaching tread, use some wood screws
