Getting serious about lo-pro

[mad murdock]

Nice job on your custom tooling BobL. We have a tool post grinder at work, I think grinding to size will be better if it is that hard of steel.

I know that most rims are cast. Could someone with a laser cutter make one up as a 3-piece laminated rim, spot welded together?

(Or maybe we need a 3D printer ?)

Yeah I was going to take it out to my place of former employment and use the TPG but though I would have a crack at doing it I'n my shop.

Philbert, I suspect a laser cutter is what Danzcoinc use but they hard rivet theirs together.

I'm going to drag this up as I think I'm getting a full roll of 63pm,

IF a .404 nose can be squeezed onto a 3/8 .50 Bar then you could adjust both the nose and sprocket to a similar size. But I'm not sure about to compatibility, even if it's thicker not much of any would be in the wood anyway

That's more and more a option for things

Aha brainwave 084 parts and the like

Earlier in this thread it showed how a regular 3/8's tip can be modified to work with lopro by thinning the tips of the sprocket so they properly spear into the chain links.

Thanks for that on phone lots of pages to read. Is it bad idea though or just a heap more work

Does regular 63pm work, not much weaker, I have a fair bit of standing pine lined up.
so it should be ok with the 660 then and maybe in fresh dropped bush hardwood lightly
