Some news on steels, I had to price a job for hardox (AR400) parts, I would cut them in the CNC Plasma, for stone rake teeth, when I asked about the Heat Effected Zone around the cut area he said it has little or no effect on the tempering, the bad news is this stuff is over €250 + Vat per sq Mtr in 12mm, its a lot less than I paid for the strip previously, as a comparison for ye as I'm sure your not all in the steel business 12mm mild steel is 96.20 per sq mtr. Just thought some of ye might like to know.

I was looking at a few bits today.
A few buckets, a few pieces of ballast from a crane, various bits and pieces.
Nothing small enough to carry though
Most of it weighed a tonne pardon the pun.
Might pick it up tomorrow and go making something up. I got all the components, now all I need is the inspiration:D:D0 -

I'd be interested in that, depending on the usual 0 -

Get out of town, would never have guessed
How would guys feel about a 6"x6" target ???
I suppose that is the question I should have asked
Think that's around 40 targets if losses due to cutting are minimal. Lets say 35.
So at 250 plus vat for materials, plus cost of cutting it up and putting hanging holes in them. Could they come in at around 10-15 euro0 -

302.50 including vat @21% ..............
Cutting and drilling wont be free unfortunatly so i can guess that it my be up to 50% more ????? still relativly cheap than getting it from a dealer.
hanging brackets can be made up cheaply if required too0 -

I have to buy a full sheet at a time, thats 1500x2500 worth €937.50 plus Vat, there need to be about 5-8mm between cuts, a 300mm sq plate cut comes out at about €36 plus Vat, the material is 22.50 and 13 odd quid and 50 cent per pierce for the cutting service, 1200mm of cut each at 1.13 cent/mm in 12mm plate.
Needless to say it would not be viable to load and index a sheet on the table and then cut just one target, if around six lads were interested I'd do it.
You'd probably want to throw on a fiver for drilling the stuff, many lads could do it themselves, just use a quality cutting oil and go slow, I'd advise drill rather than plasma the holes, it is less likely to create a stress point.
Is this close to the bone in terms of advertising or should we conduct this through PM's. It does not bother me either way, in fact I prefer openess but I don't want to be seen doing self promotion. I like it here and don't want a ban as I'm mad into my shooting aswell.

cheers for your openness i would be interested in a proper gong target for 1 i'm sure there are a few others here that would be likewise,
for instance how much would a 300x300 or what ever it would work out at to allow for cutting ie 290x290 or what ever
i live in south tip and i am often down in cork so i could pick it up or even pick up a few of them if lads didnt want to drive all the way to cork if they are from up the country0 -

Yeah? Well the Amada Laser cutter i use at work is bigger than your mates plasma cutter.. so there!!!
ive made a 3mm thick gong (pleasant ding on a rimmy or air rifle) out of traffo lids, i cud weld 2 or 3 sandwiched i suppose to allow for centrefires.. then again i cud make use of a scrap turbine from one of our shotblasting wheels (rectangular shape but just add a hanger to it) .. no round would ever even damage it.. only swing it!0 -
