I bought a slab of 12 inch round 6061 aluminum.
Ive been planning to make a lightweight flywheel for some time, with the
winter round the corner and no fishing, I figured I'd convert that time into a flywheel on my new lathe/mill.
A question arises, which series clutch should I use?
The SV 7 1/2 cover is the lightest, but I have had problems with mine slipping under extreme power. The SIII-SIV 8 inch diaphragm clutch would probably hold more torque (I dont know Ive never used one). The SII-SIII clutch is probably the strongest, but is also very heavy, which undermines the whole light flywheel thing.
I also have a very lightweight 7 1/4" race clutch, but its so noisy, I was hoping not to use this one.
Any opinions, or option I've overlooked?
