Earthwormjim's Stuff

I'm only disappointed it's not called Raoul's Revenge.

Blimey!Could you get the hardox milled? Or is it too hard? I used a heavy bar in the barbarian, it proved to be completely undriveable because of the weight! Was great fun though!

[earthwormjim]

Sounds good! If you do find some, let me know!
50g! Blimey. I bet that packs a punch! Blockheads "head" is just over 30g.

Not sure if it can be milled or not, but it can water/ laser cut (it's used a lot in feather and heavyweights). If a source of 2mm hardox can be found, planning on getting a sheet sent off for a whole load of blades to be cut.

And Bad Idea is currently in it's 2nd chassis; it's actually really quick and manoeuvrable now, but invariably hurls itself out of the arena in it's first hit.. Does a lot of damage in that hit though so still good fun! Here's a video of it breaking things.. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CXAtMM6tIjM

You can mill hardox, finding somewhere that does it and is not insane money is another matter. I hate working with it, had to pocket my featherweight's wedge and that was such an asspain



what might be an option is toolox, which is still a fairly hard and tough steel but is a hell of a lot easier to machine,




If you want I can hook you up with a block of the stuff if you want to give it a try

[earthwormjim]

That looks like a nice chunk Haz! What's that going on???

[Rapidrory]

Yeah, I generally stick to angle grinding and drilling hardox (and even then you need a sharp cobalt drill and lots of cutting fluid). It does have the advantage it can be welded, but that's only really useful in beetles and above..
