JaMmY Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Just wondered as it would save me alot of money buying the full pad.Also wanted to now if they were as good obviously.The sound, if it holds. and lasts longer or the sam.Thanks Jamie.

JaMmY Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 ive got some metal magura pad backings and wondered if they were as good as or nearly as good as cnc pad backings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 ive got some metal magura pad backings and wondered if they were as good as or nearly as good as cnc pad backings.I didn't know magura made metal backings. The only ones i was aware of were the plazzie ones, the heatsink cnc ones and the rimjam ones.Chuck up some pics for us, i'm sure a fair few are quite intrigued.

Greetings Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Please shove him back into nmc...Anyway, you do realize that CNC backings are made of metal, and that "CNC" doesn't actually mean it's better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sUm Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Anyway, you do realize that CNC backings are made of metal, and that "CNC" doesn't actually mean it's better?Exactly. CNC'ing is just the name of the process used to cut the metal. For the sake of brake pads, I wouldn't worry much about whether it's CNC'ed or not.

Tomm Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Please shove him back into nmc...I did think this looked like an NMC topic when I read it.Jammy - start putting more effort into your posts or you'll be back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaMmY Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Sorry.Heres a pic its a bit rubbishThere rimjam backings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squince Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 they are plastic backings..Nar, there them new metal ones, there all the same to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 they are plastic backings..They're the v3's chris... the pad material is cut towards the middle unlike the plastic ones from way back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I wanna know how anyone can tell what they are with a pic of that quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scousertrials Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Pattern recognition. Its easy to tell what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I wanna know how anyone can tell what they are with a pic of that quality.All you have to do is look quickyl at the outline of them, not exactly difficult. I went round the outlines in paint for you though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaMmY Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 So can i refill them with a coust or heatsink red compound refill?And how do you refill it?Ifi can.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 cut the material with a stanley knife then superglue it in with a vice.and if it works- tell the world!but i heard that the rimjam backings were serious cylinder destroyers...? that true?

Heatsink Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 CNCed items do have a strength advantage over a cast item of the same shape.When you cast an item then it's a major challenge to avoid microscopic bubbles occuring in the molten metal as it flows to fill the mould tool, and these voids equate to weaknesses in the material. Billet metal for CNCing is manufactured to be void free.In this case, you have to take into account both different manufacturing processes and different geometries.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) lol why does every body think any thing with CNC after the name is better? CNC = computer numerical controljust mean that the milling cutter moves in a pre plotted route rather than being moved by hand, pretty simple really, good for mass prodution Edited August 30, 2007 by dave33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNC = computer numerical controljust mean that the milling cutter moves in a pre plotted route rather than being moved by hand, pretty simple really, good for mass produtionCNC machining means enhanced accuracy and repeatability compared to a hand machined version.CNC machining may not be the cheapest choice for mass production (each item has a relatively long cycle time, many minutes compared to seconds for a moulded item), hence the common choice of die-casting (the initial tooling cost upfront can be shown to be a minimal part of the unit cost if considered across the life of this tool) followed by only CNCing the important features like threads and faces requiring a high surface finish and accuracy of position.A 100% CNC machined item may not be necessary for all fabricated items, but for highly stressed components / high quality finish components, then it is desirable.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
