austinslater Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Do you guys bend much of this? I bent some 3/16ths just for fun and I love the way it feels. is this stuff a good gap filler between the blue and grade 5? Im planning on getting some 1/4 square and im curious how it stacks up to 1/4" round and grade 5 bolts. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubthewonderscot Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 I love the way it looks when its bent. I did some 3/16, but haven't played with 1/4 yet. Doubt I could kink it. It does feel good while bending though, I agree with you there. W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffPeterson Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 1/4 inch square is around a red. Ask Dave O. he has all the progressions of where metal lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 (edited) A small kink and I stress the word small, was all I could get on a 7 inch peice of 1/4 square stock. Edited April 6, 2004 by jad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 I agree with everyone else. A complete world of difference between 1/4 round and square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I've bent a 6" x 1/4" grade 5, but I can't bend a " x 1/4" square stock. It's brutal stuff. More of a gap filler between the grade 5 and the red. For a filler between the blue and a grade 5 try various brands of 60d and cut 60d's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ostlund Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 The square stock that I've tried is extremely difficult. The cross-sectional area of 1/4" round is 0.049 sq in, 1/4" square is 0.0625 sq in, and 5/16" round is 0.0767 sq in. These #'s seem to tell the story pretty well from my experience with these stocks.

jad Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 How does 6x1/4 square stock compare with 6x1/4 grade 8's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ostlund Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Based on my limited experience, the grade 8's are definitely easier. I have tried 6.5" and 6"x1/4" square and have never fully bent either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 WOW, I knew it was tough but I didn't know it was that tough. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
