Basically T3 flanges, nothing to special. But this is more or less a survey of whats most demanded since i dont stock to many at the moment... generally about 30-40 at most at a time. But i want to stock more of whats wanted to keep up with demand. Prices are not listed here but if your curious about them goto my site.

id have to say ummmmmm

id go will 1/2 mild steel non-threaded


what do i win?

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

uhh win? i dunno.

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

i like to use threaded ones, never had a problem with 3/8

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

I was gonna go with the stainless 3/8, but on my first mani I am gonna give mild steel a shot. If it goes well, I'll coat it and use it, and maybe someday to another and go stainless.

If I were going all out. I would do the 1/2" stainless threaded stuff. ;D

how long til my stuff arrives anyways?

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

Eh, probably about 4-5 more days, were 100% out of good end mills so i cant machine ANYTHING until some new ones arrive. theres more to making flanges than you guys would ever think. I have the T3 flange instock though.

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

not too bad. I'll have to wait another paycheck to get piping to start the manifold anyways, so I am looking at like mid month for that.

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

normally they would be instock. sorry. Let me know what you think of them when you get them.

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

Will do, they look good in pics.

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

They do have a nicer apperance than your "average" flange because i use some special end mills to cut with instead of your ordinary fine tooth rougher. They cost about twise as much but the finial product is well worth it! ;D

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

hey man, what size end mills do you use?

I work in a production machine shop type deal, we literally change endmills every 50 parts and they are never chipped or discoloured.

I really dont know much about the coatings we have, only sizes.

We have plenty of 3/8", 10mm

---- load of inserts to. I could always throw some endmills in a box and send em your way if we have the size you use

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

I use a lot of 1/2" fine tooth roughers for cutting stainless steel and 1/2" rougher/finishers for mild steel.

The thing with used end mills is that they dont chip or discolor they dull out and leave nasty burs on the metal.

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

Ya burrs and steps in bores

I make a piece for Vipers and if one bad part is sent, the entire shipment is quarantined and for every minute we shut down GM's assembly line its like $1200, serious ----

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

Making the wrong Part for a Chrysler vehicle shuts down GM's assembly line? Damn thats gangster.

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

haha. funny ----.


the turbo I have now won't let me use a threaded flange, so I'd say 1/2" mild non threaded.

**HIJACK**;D The pictures you have look like professional pictures. you have the yellow light up top then you have a blue accent light on the side with the table fading off into the background. With a nice quality camera. You take those?

Re:What T3 Flanges are most prefered/demanded?
 

yes i took all of them and acually there very unprofessional but turn out very nice... the lighting from above that appears "yellow" is just my office lights in the shop, the black surface they sit on... is my computer desk... and "blue accent light" on the left.. is the computer moniter. I use a older sony cybershot camera. 3.1Megapixels but only take pictures at VGA (640x480) resolution!

who wouldve guessed?

Also i do not use HSS end mills, i use Cobalt.
