How does a small bar (only 30ish cm long) made out of 10mm t6 ali with 4mm hardox teeth on the end sound?
If not any good, what would you recommend?
the ali would buckle. Make it from a single piece of hardox or stainless steel. Job done.
It'll sound different depending on what you hit it with,
Personally I would recommend a musical instrument for sound, thats what they're designed for :wink:
bloody hell, 10mm t6 ali and would still buckle?
what about the 4mm hardox teeth idea though? connected to a stainless bar?
yes it would especially if it hit something at an angle such as a flipper.
Don't bother putting insert teeth in unless you are doing a sam smith and machining the bejesus out of them to adequately support them. Keep it simple stupid, bit piece of steel, single piece, spun up really fast. Little to go wrong.
Any good places to get enough material to machine a bar with half descent teeth?
how does 10mm stainless bar sound?
DDDDIIIINNNNNGGGGGG
perfect, will start to compile parts together
hope to go for 3mm ti and some kind of plastic armour, maybe 8mm hdpe or 5mm polycarb, hope to mix in some 10mm poly if I can, but weight will be tight
10mm stainless steel bar? Will bend like a wet noodle. Unless you make a triangulated girder from it.
what thickness would you say?
Centrifuges was 7mm steel and that got bent, badly :sad:

300*60*12 is 1.75 kg without any holes or fancy cuttings.
This is a findable offcut at places where heavy earth moving equipment is made/repaired.
now just need to source good enough materials
how does a short but thick steel bar sound, maybe 12mm?

flat bar/block or how ever you want to describe it, big steel bar :lol:
Then 12mm thickness will have some effect.
What are the other dimensions?
I'm looking at making a bar for a BW (so not too large)
Was thinking about making the whole bar from a block of D2 / S7 /Toolox or similar hard steel. Would people advise making the bar from something else and just the teeth (bolt on?) from a tool steel?
D2 is a bit Ott for a , hardox should suffice
