Not sure what that means Nice Chad I have had the numb pinky bending before its when you hit a nerve.It usually goes away in a few minutes for me if it does not you may want to see a doc about it.

CaptainCrush Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 hahah thanks man Its still numb 30 minutes later but I'll take this as a good thing cause now I probably don't have to worry about the fire shooting feeling in the pinky finger I used to always get on the longer crushdown stuff! who needs feeling in their pinky anyways???

CaptainCrush Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 I can't stop! 7.5 inch KOAB to 2 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKtheGreek Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 are these new koabs or 780 batch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCrush Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 are these new koabs or 780 batch? These are 3/8 1018 CRS from speedymetals. I just called em KOAB's so I wouldn't have to keep giving the description. From 50 degrees that I pre-bent one its noticeably harder than the 11/32 0-1 drillrod. I remember Ben saying before that the 11/32 drillrod was just as hard at certain parts as the KOAB's he had. So this batch I have definitely had some balls to it. Plus it's at 7.5 inches and not 7 inches. Gonna cut a piece to 7 inches and send it to Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCrush Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Cut a piece of the 3/8 1018 CRS down to 7 inches. Prekinked it to 50 degrees. Got it this far so far!!! 3/8 x 7 bent to 3 3/4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCrush Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Last bit of bending for the day... 3/8 x 7 bent to 3.5 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCrush Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Well I still have to work on the kink part of the bend and get stronger there. I also want to see how a piece calibrates and if I have to I'll hunt someone down with an easy KOAB. I'm not gonna rush anything but I will probably shoot for Christmas to get a full bend in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Knight Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'm interested to try that 3/8th - the highest I've heard CRS Cal at from a hardware store is 705 and I think it was Crown - Not sure where John gets his stuff from - I'm guessing you've got some hard shite there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyj75 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'm interested to try that 3/8th - the highest I've heard CRS Cal at from a hardware store is 705 and I think it was Crown - Not sure where John gets his stuff from - I'm guessing you've got some hard shite there Especially considering that sharp "V" kink , I have never bent anything that kinked like that and was anywhere near easy.

CaptainCrush Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Yeah I hope those pieces calibrate high!! I ordered them pre-cut from speedymetals.com and they are the 1018 CRS. I'm thinking the sharp bend is from me pre-kinking them to 50 degrees using the vice. Either way it's the hardest sweep I've ever had the pleasure of moving! I'm heading to the post office to ship some down to Paul along with some of the 11/32 drillrod so we'll soon find out how hard these damn things are!
