Stainless pins?

ghound · Oct 6, 2020

Would it be possible to have stainless pins machined for my bender and would they be suitable strength wise?
Cheers Robert

The standard pins have started to rust.

Stainless isnt that hard or tough, I wouldn't go there

Keep your pins in an old ice cream tub with lid. Just give it a good squirt in there of WD etc.

The less messy option is to buy some VCI paper and line the tub with it.

Works tremendously well.
