Hmm, those two don't really go hand in hand.@Wilhelm my goal is ultimate lightweight…and rigidity. See above pic.
Pics of your bars if you got them...
Who's gonna ship me a custom made LW/RW bar to test, preferably with saw attached to it?!
Meh, I don't need one - I am good with what I have.
I think the hole is too big being milled out like that in one piece.
It’s already in the mail. LolRight now I’m hoping to add $200 max to the cost of the bar.
1.Mill bar
2.Waterjet CF panel
3.epoxy in
if we can get enough numbers for production it should be pretty cost effective.
@Wilhelm carbon fiber is magic, trust me. If we can handle the heat issue… @SOS Ridgerider send him one so he will be a Believer! Haha!
(Or I will)
I hope not, shipping would be a killer.It’s already in the mail. Lol
Personally I don’t think a bar will ever get hot enough to cause instant failure. However, the repeated heat/cold cycle could eventually cause a failure of the epoxy and carbon fiber. It’s really probably a moot point either way though.OK, stupid question - what heat are we talking about?
The hottest I ever got any of my bars is that I could barely hold it with my bare hand.
How hot do You guys get Your bars on a regular basis, not under extreme conditions?
I will probably be the only one to have a problem. Or the Aussies. @rogue60 maybe the west coasters cutting burning stuff…or recently burned.Personally I don’t think a bar will ever get hot enough to cause instant failure.

The stuff I ordered from McMaster for the test mule says 180*. I’m sure my bar temps exceed that in dry euc here. We’ll see soon. There is hi temp CF out there too. Right now summitracing is looking like a good source for larger pieces.
I need some of that water based bar oil that evaps and cools.It will be interesting to see if your cycles to failure is within an acceptable range though. I’m betting the benefits outweigh the costs… it’ll be fun finding out regardless.
Try emulgating oil for a mill maybe?I need some of that water based bar oil that evaps and cools.
Bucking a hanger 41 ft of log will cause some heat for sure

Yeah I havenever cut none of that petrified wood lol@HYPERSAWS cool stuff. I would think the moisture in the logs would help cool though. This stuff down here, the oil starts to vaporize.
