Original poster: "Tim Flood" <tflood@xxxxxxxxxxx> John Freau, What alloy and gauge aluminum do you use for spinning, if you don't mind answering. Someday, I would like to make a large toroid for my own use. Thank you, Tim Flood
Tim, I use 0.050" aluminum. But for a larger toroid a thicker gauge should be used. For example if you make an 8" x 30" toroid, then you should use 0.125" or something close to that. It will be extremely difficult to spin, unless you have good equipment and experience. John **************************************AOL now offers free email to everyone.
