    Cool Fat Carbon Scales

    Using the new Fat Carbon material on this W&B rescale
    Stuff is crazy stiff,, very tough
    Burned up 3 belts thinning it down
    Finally got it down to .105” and still near zero flex
    Had to Sleeve the pivot hole

    Specs:
    Red Acrylic Wedge
    Brass pins
    Brass inner washers
    Domed SS outer washers














    Last Thought: Some of the dirtiest stuff I have ever handled

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    So if I were to say to my wife, "hey honey you have a phat ass," that would be a compliment?

    Now that is a good question

    I did not order nor have I found the exact website my customer got it from, I am awaiting his link to me

    My understanding is that it is basically Kirinite mixed with Carbon Fiber once i know for sure I will come back and verify

    Structurally it seems to be incredibly strong, easy to cut with the Bandsaw and Metal blades. very HARD to sand..

    Looking forward to the link so i can read nmore when I get it

    Just did a quick web search and came up with

    https://fatcarbonmaterials.com/

    Seems that fatcarbon is the company name. Looks like interesting stuff.
