3/32" steel is stout stuff, Brent. No wonder there's no vibration. Pretty thick vanes. On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 1:10 PM, Brent Watson <brentjwatson@yahoo.com> wrote:
My 12-1/2 inch scope employs a curved vane spider I constructed from 3/32" steel. It is only 2 vanes and is very sturdy. I have not detected any viration in it. It works well. I use it for a couple of reasons. 1. I wanted to see what a curved vane spider would really do. 2. It was easier to construct than a four vane spider. 3. I am too cheap to purchase a commercial 4 vane spider. I'd do it again but more because of the ease of construction.
