thickness variations in cgfbm

[valleytinworks]

i have a few cgfbm's same coatings..... i have two thickness..... .239 and .246


anyone else have this?

 

[valleytinworks]

anyone got a mic out?

 

[xaman]

don't have any CGFBMs left to compare bro --- but that is interesting...

are they consistently different all the way down the spine?

 

[valleytinworks]

yes...... al the way down

.244" on mine.

 

[VoxHog]

.250" on mine.

yes, I have a few CGFBM and some are slightly thinner than others. This is most likely from the variation in raw stock thickness. On some, even the machined bevels are slightly thinner possibly because of worn vs new cutters from the CNC.

The "A" answer :thumbup:

This was first noticed on the original run of Fusion Steel Hearts, there was some pretty wide variations. Some .25 and others down to near .22. iirc one of the bigger boar Hogs had one of the thinner models, it was the same stock thickness as the SFNO.

I don't have a lot of CGs anymore.

0.239, 0.242, 0.249

But ... I'm not entirely convinced of the calibration on this inexpensive caliper. Probably the relative differences are good, though.

Used to have labs and full-up gear, but not any more.

Given the modern CNC equipment to mill the blades, I would be more inclined to guess that you are measuring differences in the powder coating thickness, not the steel stock.

Always possible. They are CGs, so I'm measuring two coating thicknesses here.

That is also highly possible. But I am sure that the metal near the edge right before the CBT is thinner on one vs the other. Also, both have the same muddy coating.
