Build a Hardness Tester

[Wayne Coe]

In the thread about building a hand tapper a reference was made to the taper that Ray Rogers (http://www.rayrogers.com/index.htm )had made. I looked around his site and saw that he had plans for building a Hardness Tester. I thought that some of you would be interested. Check it out. If you build one let us know about it and thank Ray for the plans. I checked the KD member list and don't think that he is here. Invite him if you like what he has to offer.2thumbs

That would be a great tool to have.
I'm looking for someone to test mine right now.
Not sure about anyone else Wayne, but that link is not working for me.

Russell, I just tried it from my Favorites. http://www.rayrogers.com/index.htm. I will try it from this post. I did and it came right up in a new window. Try it again and if it doesn't work try manually putting it in.

Worked that time Wayne, thanks!

The first link posted had the last parenthesis included as part of the link. You got it going in the second post Wayne. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks Mike, I fixed it. I'll have to watch that in the future.
