Hello,

Its all good and its all learning. A little misinterpretation might be th=
e
case from border lingo? Compression and allignment is a term here in the =
U.S.
used to often describe how to compact particles by shear collision and
whatever force available. =


I would use the group smectite for this study if I had the extra time. I =
think
this is what makes us all work harder to fix our problems as they arise. =
I
would give my favorite cats hind leg (Not Really) to have a perfect fix f=
or
cracks of any kind. This way I could throw and show without worry over ce=
rtain
magnetic particle arrangement based on the clays used in the materials
compacted while I throw. This would mean less worries over the cations
involved and ionic principles and more fun for me!!! :) Allot of this tak=
es
place while drying and is based on the ability of the platelets to form b=
onds,
does it not?

On the chattering - Well it wasn't too long ago I was reading from many o=
f the
same people all the pro's of Bison tools and was impressed by it. I held =
off
on buying them because I have a stash of tools right now. Then suddenly I=
see
a whole pile of issues about chattering. I hope this doesn't effect this
persons business in a bad way since I know first hand how hard it is to
restore any negative commentary that can feed into the mechanism that tur=
ns
good intent into less than good.

I wondered when I started reading all this if the tools might be so stron=
g in
tensile strenght that they ride any small bump and thus create chatter. M=
aybe
that is the reason they are so good? Its like a soft metal that will be e=
aten
away while tooling verses a very hard metal that takes a beating but will=
not
give as much to abrasive effect when being used. If the tool is made with=
such
a strong metal then the lasting effect of it would be worth the extra mon=
ey
paid if one uses it and figures out how to control the chatter. Or they m=
ay
buy 5 soft metal tools and compare the costs in the end? The economics of=
it
is debateable to me. It leaves me with wondering about performance over c=
ost.
Any day of the week I would prefer to support as often as I can a person =
who
is trying to grow a business over the larger establishments when and wher=
e
possible. It creates good competition and keeps everyone on their toes.
But, it either works or it don't. As I said it was working a few weeks ag=
o
according to the list replies I was reading. They were allot of good
chattering going on about the product then???
