  • Getting The Most From Your Adjustable Steel-Cable Belt

Angelina Your belt is probably order of magnitude harder to cut than you imagine. There is a reason why it is produced by laser cutting.

    But on the other hand both the clamps that hold the wire and the tubes that the wire goes through are cast from some kind of copper alloy. You can probably cut through that using a nail file in half an hour.

      Joh I think that the correct engineering name of the material is ā€œChinesiumā€ šŸ¤£

        I am not engineer, but I work in that world, and I agree.
        However, the Chinese surprise you in both ways, usually in the bad...
        But sometimes they have very poor quality system components and other times, on the other hand, for a part that in Europe or the USA would be made of polymer or microfusion, you go to China and see that the part that is not going to wear out is made of indestructible and expensive chrome vanadium steel.

        In my field, more than the materials, the Chinese have to monitor quality control and finishing.

          Rafael The problem is not in QC, but in knowing what you manufacture and how well specified it is. Chinese are kind of experts in perfectly consistently manufacturing the wrong thing. In the west when something is not specified the manufacturer will either ask for clarification or use common sense, Chinese manufacturer will do whatever is cheapest and call it a day.

          For some reason this effect is also visible in products that are designed in China. Apparently even in that case there is some kind of disconnect between product designers and production engineers. I donā€™t know, maybe the design is even done by people who have no idea what exactly the product is and how it is used.

            That is the thing - there are some Chinese companies that make great products, but those also have development and marketing people that keep a close eye on the whole thing. You can manufacture to any price point or quality level in China, and the high end is as good as anywhere else in the world, it is just that the low end can get much wore.

            In my field it is a serious problem with medical instruments.

            it is much more massive. i wouldn't say you can't cut it, but it takes a lot of effort

            Maybe everyone has some misunderstandings about Made in China. I am engaged in the field of mechanical automation and the production process of products.The Chinese market is different from anywhere. His competition is very fierce, and the market share is far more important than profit margins.The chastity belt exporting to your country is even cheaper than domestic, which is difficult to see in any other country.We are fully capable of producing world -class products, but for the maximization of benefits, we can only switch to more cheap products to occupy the market and prevent ourselves from being suppressed by competitors.This belt is very ordinary and very bad in the eyes of everyone here. This kind of steel wire belt can be opened immediately by moving back and forth to loosen the screw behind the waist. It's really ordinary, but because it's simple, it can be DIY. For example, use insulating tape to wrap the steel wire connection at the back and the lock head at the front. If you grind your legs, you can put a plaster on the inner thigļ¼ŒThis chastity belt needs to be tightened to be comfortable.Chinese products are often like this, because of mass production, in order to ensure production, we have to omit many delicate steps, and what you get is often a semi-finished product.

              I think the bad opinion about chinese products is due to the fact that the chinese market is more concerned with quantity than quality, which makes the individual product cheaper, but also worse.

                Could you share an add on of the items you would need to finish the belt ???

                  Megan I don't know what you want to modify, so I can't give you a conclusion for the time being. If you have the intention of transforming it, you can contact me by sending emails to 3487991524@qq.com,In addition, I will only be relatively simple in English, please try to communicate with me in English as much as possible, thank you.

                  One thing that I forgot to mention: don't use the lock that comes with the belt. It is a totally unsecure toy and which is worse it is prone to seizing up.

                    @zyz @6373e6b2 Thank you both...
                    I don't know what to do with the cable belts either but my husband and I have some friends who work to make things for surgeons who work with patients who have limbs crushed in vehicle accidents and other terrible accidents.

                    They are very worried about being judged and losing their reputation if people think they are doing something wrong. But they now understand why I choose chastity in my life and in my marriage.

                    They all have a lot of work just like @Laura and @Ines and all of you professionals.
                    I see the $ some shops get and I wish it was awarded to this community here

                    Angelina Yes. IIRC Abus 727TI/20 is compatible with the mysteel-like locking mechanism of Chinese wire belts (but not with the protective ā€œknobā€ of other Chinese belts) and also looks better.

                    Angelina so would you recommend buying a padlock separately?

                    We had new padlocks,, it was a recommendation of this forum becasue we would have to swiming with our new belts.

                      Raquel the original padlock will rust enough to stop working in probably about a month just from sweat, no swimming or salt-water needed šŸ˜‰
