May 9, 201016 yr 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.
May 9, 201016 yr Get in touch with Parker Steel.... they only deal in metric metals.. Parker 1-800-333-4140
May 9, 201016 yr Author 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.
May 9, 201016 yr Metric size would be 16 x 50 to be standard, 15mm is not a standard metric size. Phil
May 12, 201016 yr Author 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
