Default Which T3 Flange type is most prefered?

I produce a lot of different flanges and currently have 5 different T3 inlet flanges avialable but i want to know which type to stock the most of... what do you most builders out there use or prefer? heres what i offer...

T3 Flange Threaded 304 Stainless 1/2"
T3 Flange Threaded Mild Steel 1/2"
T3 Flange Non-Threaded 304 Stainless 1/2"
T3 Flange Non-Threaded Mild Steel 1/2"
T3 Flange Non-Threaded 304 Stainless 3/8"

There all CNC cut.

Heres pictures of a few of them.

T3 Flange Threaded 304 Stainless 1/2"


T3 Flange Threaded Mild Steel 1/2"


T3 Flange Non-Threaded 304 Stainless 3/8"


Basically T3 flanges, nothing to special. But this is more or less a survey of whats most demanded since i dont stock to many at the moment... generally about 30-40 at most at a time. But i want to stock more of whats wanted to keep up with demand. Prices are not listed here but if your curious about them goto my site.

I've always preferred the mild threaded. it makes everything easier by not having to leave room to get a wrench on the bolt head by the collector. you have some great prices by the way!

How much do you want for a 304 1/2 or 3/8 flange? My friend has a CNC machine, but it would be too much bother to buy plate and make the design if the price is right..

Flanges are threaded to 10x1.5mm

Since you asked for the prices here what they are on stainless steel flanges..

T3 1/2" Threaded $23.50
T3 1/2" $22.50
T3 3/8" $17.50

Mild prices are $14.50 for a threaded 1/2" T3 flange, $13.50 for non-threaded, right now im selling threaded T3 flanges on ebay for $13.50.

Yes i can also make custom flanges.

Back to the point of the post which do you prefer?

Is this an advertisement? People with extra cash on their hand will most likely use SS because it doesnt rust and its a bit better of a material to use on manifolds, people who are on a budget will use mild steel. I really dont see the point of this thread. Cant you just check your sales and see which one sells more over a given time and make an accurate anylsis? I thought that was part of being a buisness.....

I was trying to aviod it being an advertisement since i just started selling flanges a week or two ago and havent been into it much so i want to know what goes the fastest. Ive owned the CNC mill itself for 6 months and in the time that i wasnt selling flanges outright i just made flanges for myself to get the hang of it because i didnt feel that my flange quality was good enough to start but now that they come out perfect every time i began to sell them outright to people.

I do not have a picture of the 1.8T flange but will be making one in a few days since i just got an order for one, if you order yours before i make that one delivery on it will be a lot faster since i like to make flanges more than one at a time! and yes i do sell T4 flanges and even have a picture of it, Im trying to get a picture of every flange i make available because a picture is worth a 1000 words and i want people to know exactly what there getting, because sometimes you dont exactly know what it is your getting! And i personally always like to see precisly what im getting first, I always want to know what the end mills im ordering look like first before buying because just seeing them is enough to tell what type of finish they will leave. so im just giving the customer what i would want as a customer!

T3/T04e flange is a standard T3 flange.

Its my own outside design... i HATE flanges that are plain squares with holes in it and you will NEVER see me make one that looks like that! I always design the outside of it to my own likings.
