    What is the latest solution for a stripped screw hole in plastic, where a sheet metal type screw is used to assemble and hold parts together? I am looking for a solution other than using a larger size screw or adding a spring type nut. Thanks, Raul

    Welding speeds/Energy levels

    When it comes to teaching I use pictures and drawings for my students. I draw with AutoCad and make step by step drawings that an eight year old can understand. This is not to say anything negative about the student. Some people learn faster than others. Hope this helps. Raul
