Stainless Steel Ring Material
I have decided that I'm never going to find the ring i want and
therefor i am going to make the ring myself. My problem is not knowing where can i find a place to get Stainless Steel to make a fairly large ring. (about size 11, high school grad ring style...) Any idea where i can get ahold of this? Any help would be appreciated. |

Any help would be appreciated. Oh BTW, I forgot. I don't know what your experience with stainless is. In case you don't have any: Get 303, 316 or 17-4. Do not get 304 or 416. There are many more grades that I do not have experience with. -- Abrasha http://www.abrasha.com |

You are never going to find pipe, that will conform exactly to required ring sizes. It is much easier to start with solid bar and machine both the OD and ID of the rings.

Norm I only buy from small parts when nobody else in the entire country has what I am looking for, since they are the most expensive supplier of everything they carry. Almost everything they have can be bought somewhere else for much less. -- Abrasha http://www.abrasha.com |

Any help would be appreciated. How about using a SS Hex Nut? Availble from most bolt supply houses or marine dealers And how would you propose holding a hex nut (assuming he finds one with the right dimensions to machine his ring) in a lathe? Furthermore, where would he go to buy just one hex nut with the right dimensions, that would cost him less, than say 6" of 303 stainless rod? BTW, a size 11 requires an inside diameter of approximately 20.6 mm (.81") Let me know when you find the nut, will ya. -- Abrasha http://www.abrasha.com |
