Dura-Bar vs Versa-Bar

aandw1933 · Jun 22, 2020

New to this site and the industry.

Can anyone help with a little education what the differences are for the Dura-Bar and Versa-Bar continuous cast iron and bronze products and services?

Why choose one over the other? Is it material, availability.......who do you like best?

Thanks in advance of your replies.

Bill

Dura-Bar is commercially available.

Versa-Bar is not, it's proprietary AFAIK.

I suspect that you work for them........ :toetap:

Let's play a leetle game...
1. You say how wonderful durabar is, and how bad Versa bar is.
2. I will doo the opposite, and let's see who the spammer defends and who they slam.

Heeeeere we go.......

Dura-bar is the greatest material known to mankind. It is only a matter of time before it replaces all applications for titanium, Inconel, stainless, leaded bronze, and aluminum. It is heat restistant to 6000 deg. F but can be heat-treated at only 1200 deg. It is easier to machine than 12L14 but harder than woodpecker lips in the field. You guys all need to buy from ME because the world's supply will vanish as soon as everyone learns about the marvelous properties of this fantastic material.

Your turn, Doug.

I love the curiosity in my intentions....truth be told, I am in the interviewing process for a position at Dura-bar. Been doing my research and along the way trying to understand, among many things, advantages/disadvantages among competitors. That's it....research for my next round of interviews so I wanted far more experienced people to educate me...thanks!

So why not post this ^^^ first, and be honest & upfront with us ?

And why the double posting ? Saturation bombing as it were.

You'd better be "Honest & Upfront" during your interview....

AFAIC your credibility just went out the winder.....

It's a toss up. Sometimes the choice comes down to what is most readily available.
Right?

Versabar
Kindorf metal
Globestrut
Unistrut
....and others.

Would YOU want HIM calling at your shop sir ?

Lack of integrity will keep him at the front door, nothing more.

Hell no, but most I run into are like that. Seems that's how they get hired.

A cross breed of qty (1) "Herbert R. Tarlec" and Qty (1) "Kenny Tarmac".

Ugh !

And here I only liked it because it wasn't full of inclusions, chill spots, etc. Little did I know it was the miracle material of the future. Should be called Wunda-Bar...

So Zippy...which one you going for ?:
Workday

I think "Billet Conditioner" is just about right for YUU.

It pisses me off when someone asks for information on this forum when he could have gotten the answers from a quick internet search.

You managed to scare him off. He's signed up elsewhere.

I sent this to my buddy that works sales for Charter-Durabar. He got a kick out of it. I dared him to send it up the food chain.

Maybe not this case, but often times the conversation brings up tidbits you never know you needed to search. Hence, PM may be more informative.

Honesty would have brought the OP what they wanted now wouldn't it ?
