Perfect for Jimmy's SPEEDHOLES!

Flem made some, they almost worked!

we shall see...

[BMFScout]

we flame hardened them and then quenched them in a special mix of Keystone Light and 30 weight.

[Doug Krebs]

I have access to heat treating furnaces if he doesn't think the flame hardening worked.

[agjohn02]

how long would it take to get that done?

[BMFScout]

I think flem's design was more the problem than the heat treating, but it seems like we were trying some thicker stuff I can't remember.

.125 was the thinnest we did, and that was on the larger one

doug they are 304 SS and after we did the the heat treating I read up on it and I think I saw 304 doesn't respond well to it. Any ideas?

If it was as easy as sticking in the machine and hitting start it's one thing... I'm not even messing with my own **** right now.

any reason you used SS instead of a tool steel?

it was free

same reason my pinion spacer on the rover is inconel 600

if i program the code and drill two little holes will it be easy as sticking it in the machine and hitting start?

yup, but radii have to be accurate to .xxxxx else the machine will crash

[agjohn02]

so can i just change the significant digits on my dimensions to five places?
