Swapping transformers would probably be the best plan, rather than cutting a hole in one. But my project is to find a tool that can cut a hole, so I have to find out the best way to do that.
Thank you everyone for the ideas. I'm not terribly familiar with machining and cutting so just having the right key words to search will help a lot. I think the plasma cutter is right out. I will look into the fly cutter, trepanning tool, and router.
Ornerynorsk, sometimes we get work with...
Tomwalz, the tool is needed to cut holes into transformers. And to answer your questions:
How many holes? The tool wouldn't be needed often, just for special cases. Just one hole per transformer, maybe 15-20 times a year.
In the shop or in the field? It will be in the field, since the...
I have a project where I need to find a portable cutting tool and it has been difficult for me to find what my boss wants me to get. The tool needs to do the following:
- Cut through steel, up to 5/8" thick
- Cut holes up to 12" in diameter
- Cause no sparks, or very few
- Create no metal...
Ha, ShaggyPE, it's usually not so bad, but sometimes talking to this one guy is like talking to a wall.
CorBlimeyLimey, that makes sense, and I think I got it worked out now.
Nevermind, my coworker is an idiot and didn't know what he was talking about. I can't open the drawing from the model automatically because it's impossible to have that links since the names of the model and drawing are different. He was driving me crazy making me think I was an idiot for not...
I have a problem with a link from a model to a drawing. If I have the drawing open, I can open the model from the drawing. However, if I have the model open and try to open the drawing from it, then it doesn’t have the link.
The model is 242 0XXX. The model has two configurations- 0100 and...
One of them is the Baumer LFFS Level Switch. The link to the page for the information is below.

Can anyone give a quick explanation or a link to an explanation of what sensor repeatibility would be measuring exactly?
I have two different sensors I'm using in a project, and for both sensors the repeatability is given as +/- 1 mm. Both sensors detect the presence of liquid when there is...
What is the best way to email a SolidWorks assembly, so that you send the whole assembly, but the individual components and details are not accessible?
An engineer in the sister division of my company has requested the 3D models of my assemblies from one of my projects. I checked with my boss...
The example that my boss made is a Gantt chart, showing when the project tasks start and end. On the example, the overall project starts on 1/3/11.
I meant it didn't seem to affect anything else, in that I still can't change the start date for the project on the Gantt chart. Under the Project...
How do you change the start date on a project in the program OpenProj?
My department is supposed to start using OpenProj for our projects. My boss made a template that shows the standard tasks and time durations for our projects.
On the template, he put the start date for the entire project...
CorBlimeyLimey, I'm not sure if doing model properties would work. Sometimes I'm revising a drawing that has already been done by someone else in the company, and it would be more work to make it a model property, rather than just typing manually. And given the information, I'm not sure that...
