Yeah, I knew what you meant, that's why I said "its not perfect" in the original post. It'd be nifty if the ridges were on the outside, but then the pod would look a bit silly, and the ribs would scrape the ground below the blade. I still think it (...) (24 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

Actually, if you've ever watched a grader in real life you'll know why I want it to be one piece. Road graders commonly perform a process known as 'drilling', or rolling the dirt in front of the grader to one side. Essentially, what happens is that (...) (24 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

That might well be the closest yet to come to a grader blade. Although I would prefer it if it didn't have those nasty-looking ridges made by the studs and plates that help fit them together. Should be fairly simple to make one, a 90o curve isn't (...) (24 years ago, 7-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
