When the undercutters are working they pack one heck of a punch, however i have heard that they pack so much punch that they end up destroying themeselves, and causing themeselves not to work is this true? What a Face

ok it could very well depend on the design of how you hold it in place whether you are using a softer metal for a bushing where the main shaft runs to absorb some energy, or if you use ball bearings

Most of plums stuff has come from mcmaster, they're really not the best place to buy metals like that though, shopping around is always resourceful

Heck, for an undercutter that large I would have just made it out of gold at that point.
if S7 was easy to obtain we would have used it.

There was a company named Crucible that kind of went out of business. For quite a while they were dumping steel dirt cheap. They closed up, but restructured. S7 can be bought from places such as Alro and a search for crucible will bring up at least 1 other supplier. Prices can still be almost 1/2 of what McMaster and speedy get

Shop it out....
