Getting ready to send parts out to the powdercoater.
Finally found a decent fan....thanks Kevin, no broken fins. Question: Would you ever need to separate the steel pulley from the aluminum impeller? I know it needs to be dynamically balanced and it already has a small weight pinched on the rim of the pulley. Is it worth splitting the steel pulley from the aluminum impeller and masking the threads that sandwich them together? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) you can't see it.
Degrease and/or blast it clean without taking it apart, mask and paint the steel as best you can. I use Nason two stage black on parts like this. Red paint to do the marks and call it done. Also I don't care for PC on pulleys, as it's doesn't wear off where the belt runs and causes a lot of belt slip. Not a huge issue on a T4, but me no likey on T1 and /6. |
