Did K-cut bend the material?
with the hammer piece as well?!
yeep, it was £13 CHEAPER then the front plate, that the cost of bending it IIRC
The bends are too sharp actualy, will be a weak spot.
Should have been bended with a radius of 4 times plate thickness. That is why, when I need a sharp bend, I grind and weld hardox.
how many degrees counts as a shape bend ? As i requested it to be bent at 35 degrees

You can find all the "rules" on working with Hardox on the SSAB site.

There you can click "processing instructions".
Have fun reading all the information.
Well it the Steel is here, only really got 4 things left to do.
1. Drill out some of the bolts hole (bolts fit through but to make it a tad cleaner fit)
2. Order the bolts required.
3. cut and tap the rest of the alu mounts
4. enlarge a hole or turn down a axle.
oh yeah and FINISH BUILDING IT.... I need to kick my ass into gear.
Speaking of which, what atr the best drill bits for drilling Hardox, i take a carbide bit and a tonne of lube... but i remember reading somewhere that Bosch blue masonry bits being pretty good at it as well.

More progress, having steel makes me work more quickly.
Worked on the hammer, drilled out the hole to the correct size was rather easy with a Bosch Multi drill bit. Drill out the bolts hole onto the platewheel that would be attacted to it was rather more probomatic due to a blunt drill bit but I made do.
Did quick and rough weigh in and it looks ontarget

All in all it starting to look like my design.
only worry is centre of gravity and mobility.
