Very large aluminum spun toroids

IamSmooth, Fri Nov 03 2017, 12:27AM

I'm thinking of having some 24" x 6" spun aluminum toroids made for me. I've used this size before to get 5-8 foot sparks off of my coil. Is there any interest here in purchasing them if I have them made? This way I will have an idea how many extras to make from the die once it is set on the lathe.

Where in the world are you located?

Shipping to Denmark would be approximately?

I'd be interested depending on cost, perhaps an even larger one if it's affordable.

I don't know the cost because I don't know the weight of the item+box
A toroid of that size would run between $300-400 (USA) alone. If enough people are interested I can get a quantity discount.

I'm going to bump this up and ask again if there is any interest in a 24" x 6" spun aluminum toroid. I would have a few made to reduce the cost.

I don't have much spare money to burn on a toroid, but if you could give me a ballpark estimate I would appreciate it.

I would do an estimate based on 6 to be spun up, probably not enough to justify a run, but from the interest so far, that's a number I would go with.

Several months ago I was quoted $310/toroid for a run of 5. This does not include shipping costs.

Its a okay price, but shipping to Europe will be a killer and its a soft target to get transported that far without damages.
