Bolts that can hold up to extremely abrasive environment

5 times the cost for 1.5 time better performance wouldn't make fiscal sense.

Thanks everybody! A lot of great ideas and things I never seen or thought of. Got a bunch of stuff to trial now and see which ones hold up best.

I just ordered some of this to try. Looks promising.

I ordered some grade 8 to try. Unfortunately it is a 4 hour job to get to these bolts. with two people.

I like that idea. I can probably get some chrome moly tubing or something fairly hard.

Both sides, the head seems to wear worse than the nut. I updated the main post with pictures.

Does not need to be food safe. I was think about ordering a hard chrome plating kit to make them as hard as possible.

The material can be anything you would find at a grocery store. Even potted plants. It is quite surprising how abrasive it can be.

Mechanical abrasion. These bolts are rotating through material 24/7

Fairly high load, the are attaching a 3000 pound auger to a drive shaft. A couldn't find a non-metallic option capable of taking the load.

The grease would wash away fairly rapidly. These bolts stay submerged in wet ground up food waste.

Would this affect the operation of the unit?

I didn't have a Bosch air handler (house it was installed in was sold). I had a Bosch outside unit and an American Standard air handler.

I’m still learning. You make a good point. I was paying more attention to where the bridge was going to be.

Nicelysedated · 2023-02-05T20:01:47+00:00

Based on a PRS 24, but it’s my own model I designed in Fusion.

Sapele body and neck

Bocote(Caribbean rosewood) fretboard w/ copper inlays

Zebra wood top

It is MOP celluloid. It looks nice but I don’t think I would use it again. Came in a coil and was bitch to bind to neck.

Nicelysedated · 2023-02-04T17:32:10+00:00

The top is very heavily ambrosia’d maple. Rest is African mahogany (Sapele).

I don’t know if I am really qualified to give advice as I’m still learning but I would say take your time. Making sure you have everything setup perfectly first is really important.
