The last order of 8" Al rod wasn't big enough...

[Gadget]

So, it looks like today my 12" rod came in.
I'm gonna have to get a bigger shop.

Hi G
Funny I see a lot of that here in the east. I do 50 miles each way to work on the NJ Turnpike. Great pic the largest Al rod I machined was 3in. That was to make a floating die holder .

You can make some Texas sized hosts out of those.

That is funny, Kevin. I don't see this kind of large metal bars being transported where I am now, but my long commute days are behind me now. This is the first week that we got hot weather in western Washington this year. I hope it is fleeting.

Imagine how big the hosts would be if these bars were used for just heatsinks?:can:
