Carding wheels
« on: April 15, 2009, 01:44:01 AM »
When all else fails, ask ALR.  I am in need of replacing my 6" wire wheel for carding.  I know Brownells sells them and they are a quality wheel.  I was hoping that someone on this board had a line on a good 6" wire wheel with a wire thickness of somewhere in the neighborhood of .0035" to .005.  I know you guys are very resourceful so lets hear it.  Thanks

David,

I get mine from Brownell's.  I think it's called a Dixcell???  Expensive, but a really good carding wheel.
In His grip,

The thing about the Brownell's wheel is that it's a STAINLESS wire bristle. That's very important.

I didn't see anything close here, but it's a great site anyway:

Jerry,  I knew you would have the answer.  I almost just emailed you direct but thought maybe the rest of the forum would like to know this information.
