Ruby is very difficult to manufacture. Ruby is second to diamond in hardness.Synthetic rubies can be challenging to install. Use a concave installation tool to slowly press the ruby into place. If you use a flat tool the ball may shatter or crack, especially the smaller ruby balls. Do not use a hammer to install the ball.<\/p>\n<p>The hole diameter is critical. If the hole is too small the ball will break. Experiment to determine what hole size works best for you.<\/p>\n<p>Because of installation difficulty, we do not recommend using rubies for detent balls. If you decide to use a ruby for the detent, be sure to have extra balls available. Also bevel the edge of the blade that contacts the ruby when closing.<\/p>\n<p>Do not use synthetic rubies for IKBS. If one ball breaks the pieces will cause all the other balls to break.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5093,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[184],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Synthetic Ruby Balls &bull;
