JNewman Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I am making some teeth for a mixer. The mixer was apparently made in Europe, the replacement teeth made in China. I have been told that delivery takes far too long so that is why they want them made in Canada. There is a section of unforged steel on the tooth which measures .6"x1.9" . This comes out to roughly 15mmx48mm is this a standard size? I would have thought that 15mmx50mm would be the standard size? This is just curiosity as I have been given the go ahead to use 5/8"x2" as I cannot get metric stock economically nor does the pricing justify forging the parent stock down to the sample size.

JNewman Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Thanks Larry I am going to bookmark their page for future reference. I have the go ahead to use imperial sizes and I am sure shipping and customs brokerage on only 4 lengths of bar would be prohibitively expensive for this job but I may need metric material in the future. I checked their website and 48mm wide material is not normal, I guess this may be undersized stock, I have been offered stock that was rolled undersize in the past for a cheap price.

forgemaster Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Metric size would be 16 x 50 to be standard, 15mm is not a standard metric size. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNewman Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks Phil I don't know what is up with this size. Metric size would be 16 x 50 to be standard, 15mm is not a standard metric size. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
