Welcome Ben's Bars

[bob adams]

Good to see you here Ben, your fame has gone before you and I gather you already have some satisfied customers, who knows we might even get you interested in one of these weird machines we play! Engineering skills are always welcome here! Enjoy!

Hi Ben,
I've been using my Stainless bar for a few months now and there's not a mark in the finish. Glad to see you've joined the Forum and I hope some other Steelies buy your products.

Thanks Keith. I'm glad to hear it.

There you go, Ben, even Ken Byng likes your bars. And he sets the bar pretty high, if you'll excuse the pun. I wish you many sales.

Yes I'm a finicky b d, but the 1" bar that Ben made me with a non standard length is very well polished and extremely good value for money. I'm impressed.

I am just waiting for Mr Henrique's hi density plastic bars to hit the market in a few days. Certainly Ben's bars are way more competitively priced, but Basil's manufacturing process is far more complex and risky. He is using formaldehyde as a cooling agent, which is identified in the USA as having a carcinogenic risk. Definitely not a substance that you want to have your lungs having prolonged exposure to. Don't forget to wear that mask Baz!!

You're MOST welcome Ben, I wish you all the success with you Stainless Bars, about time we gave the USA a run for their money.. I don't mean to hi-jack the post but I feel I should correct Ken's formaldehyde statement. My fault for not explaining it more clearly to Ken.

Thanks for the 'plug' Ken; Actually formaldehyde gas is produced as a product of machining and is not residual in the finished bars: I used forced air to cool the process.
BTW Pat says the mask stays, it's definitely an improvement.

Thanks Basil - I must have mis-read your FB post. The manufacturing process makes it very clear why Eric Ebner chose to no longer produce the legendary Tribo-Tone™ tone bars. By the way, I am told that gas masks are a turn on for some women!!

I will be one of your first customers once the bars are fully in production.
