Hardox has the same weight as steel, as it is a low alloy hi strength steel. 7.85kg/dmÂ³

Thanks Mario.

Is it expensive to get hardox cut?

You can cut it with an angle grinder, so not really unless you want complex shapes. I made an axe head for Mayhem from hardox with nothing more than a grinder. Drilling can be hardwork, sharp drills are vital, once they are slightly blunt they need to be resharpened before using again. You can get away with it a bit more on ali but there is no chance with hardox. There are quite a few laser cutting places about these days, but they will be fairly expensive for one offs.

the axe head on mayhem is 4mm hardox and that was bent by hornet 2 so if you want something realy strong you would have to go thicker

Tut, these kids never look after the things you make for them. Matt do you need a new one or need it straightening? Ive still got the template.

Lol,yeah my axe head is quite a complex shape (same as THz) so maybe laser cutting is best.

I got a mate with a plasma cutter maybe he would do it....

Still havnt got a suitible axe arm,any suggestions on something thats easy to find?
