OT [turning darts]

[FireMedic4Christ]

Any advise on turning darts? Are they hard to get balanced? I have a potential customer wanting 4 sets.

You will need a small scale so that you can get your grams of lead right. Other than that I found them easy to turn.

Brian,

Like Greg said, get an accurate scale to make sure the weight is exactly the same. I also CA my weight in so it won't shift on impact. These are easy to make and I have had great luck in selling them. I don't have any in stock because the all sold this winter.

Penn State has dart kits...

Woodturningz has better prices for Penn State stuff... Look on IAP Home Page for Woodturningz... Great folks, fast response...

I've had a question about the darts for quite some time and 4 letters to PSI with no responce didn't help.
CAN you adjust the weight of the darts AFTER they've been assembled ??

 

[jdavis]

Do not turn darts for certain reasons at school.

Doug,

The PSI design does NOT allow for adjusting the weight after assembly. It is sealed at both ends. You have to get it right the first time I guess.

That could make it hard for sales other than custom orders . You would have to keep such a large supply in stock to accommodate everyone .
