Thanks Jan and thank you for the graph. Thanks as well to Grepper for his, always interesting, contributions (factoids). If your graph turned out to be an accurate forecast of the BESS we wouldn't be disappointed. Please note in our previous comments on this subject that it is our belief that it is the corners of the blade blank that do the severing and not the "edge" per se. At this time, we and BESSU just have too many irons in the fire to study this area of the BESS in more detail. 99% of our customers are interested in areas below 1000 and the remaining 1% are below 1400. My best guess? The scale will become significantly non-linear above 750 but the non-linearity will not be nearly as dramatic as your graph demonstrates. It's a fair question though and one that we'd like to answer someday.
To tell you the truth a DE blade blank is a poor representation of the top end of the BESS. We just can't come up with a common and inexpensive object that improves on it. In all this, let's not forget that the real limit to the top end of edge testing under the BESS system is represented by the tensile strength of BESS test media and that is a number that far, far exceeds 2000 grams.
I notice that we are currently sitting at 1398 posts on the BESS and I assume that this post will make 1399. That's a lot of good content and we can't thank all of you enough. Who will be lucky number 1400?
