Everyone say's if you want things done (right) do them yourself.
Well here I am wanting rails and no one has them.
So, Kevin is going to have some made. 100 pieces of each.
I have spent too much time working on the drawings. All the lines must connect (remember the lines are our freinds), the corner angles can't be too tight, all the measurements I have checked about 5 or 6 times.
I have no clue if it's perfect, but it's got to be damn close.
So, the last and most important (to me , and I'm sure most everyone) is the hardness of the rail itself.
I need to know, how hard does it need to be ?
The hardness scale is confusing, there's Rockwell A/C/D 15N/30N/45N, Brinell, Vickers, Sclero-scope, U.T.S.......????
....There are probably more.
I'm thinking of 52100 steel in .039.......(Brinell 200) Should place it in Rockwell A about 58???
metal men mention what's on your mind......
