<< >Patrick- you say that you can lathe up a great set of pullies at a down
to
earth price, but I've dealt with aluminum and it's very soft. Do you heat
treat these pieces to make them stronger or are they an alloy impregnated
piece? I think that stainless steel would be the strongest metal to work
with and you could machine it a little thinner without it being brittle and
give it a lighter weight. Not only that, but when stainless is polished up,
it's the most beautiful of all the metals and it DOESN'T RUST or turn other
funky colors-- >>
Well, I've made a set of aluminum pulleys out of a one peice block of billet
for a boat .. no problems there .. 90% of the pulleys Summit sells are
aluminum, too.. it'd all be in ones personal preference and price range ...
Like I said before, the possibilities are endless as they are custom made ....
I know anodizing would be no problem at all, as our plater also plates Crane
Cam's aluminum rockers..... small world, eh? :)
