Does anyone know if a 30mm dia solid bar will have more or less torsional resistance than a thick walled tube of the same outside diameter.
I may need to use it for the main spindle on an indexing table machine I am designing, I need to minimise the "whip" as it comes to rest on each station.
If the tube has a better performance, does anyone know of suppliers in the UK.
Ideally the wall thickness needs to be enough to allow keyways to be milled in it for the taper lock couplings.
Thanks
Phil
