[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 791016, member: 12995"] Let me drop some metalugical facts on you.....When you machine aluminum from a solid billet, to the be same dimensions as if you were machining mild carbon steel from a solid billet, the aluminum will be 1/2-2/3 of the weight of the steel, and twice as strong. The only draw-back to aluminum is that b/c of it's rigidity, it is quite brittle, being that it is non-ferrous (doesn't contain iron) in the alloy composition. And no, none of this was copied or pasted off the internet. My family has been in the steel & metal industry for over 35 years. And let's just say I have a couple years experience under my belt, as well... [/QUOTE]
