I always blanchard grind our rotors after CNC'ing the profile. Way better than any other method I have found.

We use nodular iron, from http://www.dura-bar.com/index.cfm.

"Russian style": Is that the same way Sukhoi and MiG make their fighter jets? Razz

Hmm, that's a different story. There is no doubt that russian technology can be / is really high-end in many areas!

I don't know the acutal origin but over here "russian style" is somehow linked to repairing tactics conducted with a foot kick or a large hammer.

Seeing the russian cosmonaut in Armageddon repairing the MIR rather supports that stereotype though Smile

Ever get your hands on any Russian rifles? Those look like they were engineered with a foot kick and a large hammer.

I'm pretty sure any time I hammer furiously it's accompanied by me yelling "This is how we fix things on RUSSIAN SPACE STATION!"
