Re: Glueing stainless steel to carbon steel

I ;like the two sided tape idea.
I bought some heavy duty double sided tape from McMaster Carr, to put on some chrome trim on my Jeep.
That was in 2010, and the chrome is still there.
I’m not sure how it holds up to oils, but wind & rocks and rain, it’s passed the test.
You may look on McMaster’s website to see what they have.

As far as epoxy, I’d use Devcon 11800. Never used it on stainless, but have used it many times, ?to install mild steel patches on cast iron gearboxes & transmissions, to save the time to remove them
for welding. Never had a failure, but was a royal pain to remove when a ‘real’ repair was done later. If you prep it correctly, you can throw anything at the stuff, including big temperature changes, taking hits, and oil & water. It is expensive however.

Thanks for all of your replies.
Good point about better defining the problem?
I want to make an extended table for my bandsaw.? ?I think I will make one very similar to the table defined by Mike:
You can see that Mike adhered his scale to his angle iron.? ?This was my first thought.? ?I want to make my table capable of gaging a part that is 12" long.? ?I went to Harbor Freight yesterday and bought their 16" long scale (this one is carbon steel) using
the 30% off coupon.? I purchased 1" angle iron to be the rail for the length gage stop.? ?Luckily, the HF scale is very close to 1" wide, so it will fit nicely.? ?
I've been thinking about this a little more and I think it might be better to use something like a #4 flat head screw to fasten the scale to the angle iron in, say 3 places (ends and middle) rather than adhering the scale.? ?That way, it would be really easy
to replace it, if necessary.? I could also probably slot the angle iron little so I can dial in my length measurements.
I got the steel I need to do the job.? ?Now, I just have to start to cut, file, drill, tap, etc.? ?I don't have a milling machine, so a lot of my stuff is done by hand.? ?I think I'll make my table a little longer, the same width, and my length gage/slider
movement will be slightly different dimensions.
I really like the work that Mike has done.
