Thanks for all your support guys. Your UHMW bash plates rock! I was very impressed how you matched our sample we sent. The front one with the tight offsetting bends, that is. Is the material you use dyed? It seems that I remember using UHMW (polyethylene?) for low-friction wear strips in the past. It was approved by the health department for food service applications. It was dense, smooth, white and can be easily machined. Same stuff? Is it bent with a heated-type process, or cold in a press brake?Super sano build, can't wait to see it in action next moth in Reno![]()
