Easy there buddy.. I meant it seemed "odd" that it would be so hard,
thinking that these days most of these spinners are spun from 6061 bar
stock, but perhaps that is not the case. Is it bar stock or cast? I know
there are certainly harder alloys than others but I'm used to a Dremel
chewing through most aluminum I've encountered with little effort. I
wondered if it was pot metal or something like that, I'm using that term for
utility grade metal where the properties can wander all about.
