    Laser Purchase, who's been to the vendors?

    Hi wakobav I bought my first laser about 1-1/2 ago. So many choices- what brand, what size table, how much power, what kind of resonator? Mine was a replacement for a punch plasma, so I stayed with the same size (4 x 8). I went with a 4kw for piercing quickly, and the ability to cut thicker...

    Driveline braking

    76GMC1500 I saw american hotrod, but the rear end in the '56 had a drop out center section, I thought maybe a 9" ford in a custom setup? The inboard disc brakes would reduce the unsprung weight at the wheel. Back to driveline brakes. With large tires (16r20) it is difficult to get parking...

    Excessive machining noises during cutting

    I run mazak fh4800 40 taper machines. The cabinets on these are like giant speaker. Place a 12" square piece of dynamat (available at stereo shops) in the middle of cabinet panel that you can. I have found that cutters with asymmetrical teeth produce much less pronounced vibration. After...

    Delta or Wye Motor for Phase Converter

    Would a delta or wye motor provide for better voltage stability in a rotory phase converter in the 25 hp. range? I realize an AC-DC-AC inverter would be best, but not cost effective. Thanks for your input.

    looking for hex-shaped steel tube

    I form simular parts using a hose crinping machine with dies cut to a hex. Of course this only works if you are doing a lot of short sections. 1-1/8 is probably on the small size to use an expanding die, but it would give a smaller radius in the corners.
