coffman34 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I was searching Amazon for some milling media, and came across these when I searched for Stainless Steel media. Anyone know if they are safe? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BBM5SG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
LambentPyro Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Those are not stainless steel, they are chrome-plated steel. Keep looking. You can use it for raw chems, but I'd worry about metal contamination in the chems. Edited February 18, 2014 by LambentPyro
coffman34 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 I thought so. I ordered a bag thinking they were Stainless Steel. I will see if I can send them back. Do you know of a decent place to get media shipped? I am not opposed to lead, but figured the Stainless Steel was going to be lighter if I had to buy a Harbor Freight ball mill.
nater Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I run a small mill frim Harbor Freight with .45 lead balls and have no issues. When loaded, it needs a push to start, but runs fine once it is going. I took the time to properly align and tension the belt and have not had to replace that either.
coffman34 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Nice. I am thinking I can get a treadmill fairly cheap. I noticied you are from Indiana. I am also from there. I live in West Central area. Could you tell me where/if you are a member of a local club?
leedrill Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 contact leadballz on here for some superior lead media he does not like to deal in very small amounts but cant rate his media highly enough it will last longer than anything else you can buy cheaply if you plan on milling lots of bp over years just find him in the members list and pm him
