Hello Everyone - I need to make a large flywheel as part of a prototype. I am currently thinking to make something like the attached drawing, out of A36 steel, either 3/16" or 1/4" thick, and 3' in diameter.
I'd be interested in both quotes for this and feedback about how it can be designed to make machining easier/cheaper. At the moment I am uncertain about whether this is too thin for the lathe to grab easily?
