mini 12" bc wheel (with platforms)



I've done a little research, and It is definetely not 4130 Steel, while
you can easily get 4130 Aircraft Grade steel, it is hard to find it not
in a form of like 1/32 thin sheets, So unless you were really lucky,
there would have been forging involved. If you look at what 4130 Steel
Alloy looks like, it looks nothing like what you have. Also 4130 isnt
that strong, so even at 1/8 even I could bend it with my hands, and I am
no where near as strong as obie*(I think). So basically you would have
to forge like 1/2 inch thick plates for it to be that strong. Heres a
pic of the real stuff. Notice:

There is no catch to that, It is obviously not aircraft grade steel
alloy. It is weak and dull, and so are your lies.

Good idea, although I now wonder how you cut it. Also, if yopu cut it
out of rectangular tube, why did you try to bend it in yopur vise?

Catboy: 4130 is one of the easiest things to find. Maybe the problem
with finding it was that you were looking for *sheet*. Thicker stuff is
called plate. I can take a 5 minute bike ride to a local metal shop and
see assortments of 4130 ranging from 1/8" tube to 1" plate.

Probably with a bansaw or something of the like. I did something like
that once and thats how I did it.

Operator error?

Why? Are you a metallurgist? Did you go to school for it? Can you
identify different metals by look (excluding bronze and copper, everyone
can identify those)?

Don't doubt you? Man, I highly doubt you. You've given us so many
stories about how you did the work and what you used, I don't even know
what to believe.

And how did you cut the metal without problems and then ruin 8 bits?

Why? Because he builds aircraft?


Also, are you referring to yourself?

I meant how did you cut it in half to use the 90 degree angles as the
platforms.

You didn't do that with a cutoff saw unless you have a hand held one,
which you would have to have a good amount of control over to do so.

Actually wait, you probably did.

Sorry about that. I wasn't thinking correctly.
