    Contact the OEM of your unit and buy a supply of the properly sized o-rings depending on your useage requirements. It takes longer $$$ wise to make one than the o-ring costs (usually) O-rings are cheap why waste time on them?

    Time Studies in manufacturing

    "we built them in record time". You did a very good job of stacking the deck. The good quality is great though. I don't intend to be negative but a good time standard in a production environment is an average of many studies with a LARGE population of varied skill levels. There will be the...

    dumb MechEngr voltage-power question

    tygerdawg, All of the folks responding to your question are far more knowledgable than I in this area so my suggestion may be way off base. The machines I work with have the option of being setup for 3 phase low voltage wiring. Is this possibly an option for your machine? [bigsmile] You...

    I am not a professional welder as a trade but do maintenance on conveyor equipment. Occasionally I must weld broken parts or fabricate patches or replacement parts. The folks where I work who weld (ARC) more frequently than I, immediatedly run cold water over the weld until it is cooled. Is...
