Have you seen the RipOruster?
Looks like it is confirming that stainless steel thing (although still magnetic so not COMPLETELY stainless).
Its true that most "stainless" steels are not magnetic, but actually magnetism depends on atomic/crystal structure (ferritic or austenitic) while the resistance to corrosion mainly depends on the alloy components and thier amount... There is magnetic stainless steel as well as non magnetic non stainless steel, so the magnet test is not infallibleripster wrote: Looks like it is confirming that stainless steel thing (although still magnetic so not COMPLETELY stainless).

IIRC, you work with metals in a machine shop, right?
[irony mode on] Now obviously that's a piece of really topical information with genuine added value for anybody interested in the theme discussed in this thread. [Irony mode off]ripster wrote:You know what they say. Big thumb = big penis.
Actually its just a random image of a force gauge i found on the web...cactux wrote:Sorry to change a little bit the subject, but I notice that you have a force gage. Do you think you can let me know how much force is required to pullout a keycap in either a FILCO, Leopold, or MODEL M board?TheSoulhunter wrote:But seriously, even the cheap ones cost 200 bucks :/
Finally a moment to tell you, I still feel that your RipOruster is ripping people a new one.ripster wrote:Latest RipOruster results after one year in the elements.
The Keyboard Works Of Ripster. Would make a good coffee table book.hello,
we are French students.
As part of our studies, we make a model of a buckling spring keyboard key. We have seen the work of ripster and wanted to know if he could send us the characteristic of your models, particularly your spring.
we are makers of all councils, thanks.
Sincerely.
