1 inch DOM, 1/8 wall, 60 inches long
Brake disk and hook, approximately 11.5 pounds
Initial deflection, 5 tests, 0.066 to 0.072.
1/2 inch emt bonded with epoxy resin
Result, 5 tests, 0.047 - 0.05.
Maybe the juice ain’t worth the squeeze, but that was a pretty heavy weight, I think, and the tube was already pretty thick. I didn’t expect any improvement at all, really. Might be more dramatic on a thinner tube.
With any luck I’ll get some things cut this weekend and report back on actual performance.
