YS & LE,
Thank you both for your quick replies. What I am reading into it is nothing was necessarily done incorrectly, but could have been done better. My main concern has been whether this really should have been such a surprise, if we had known the cost we may have definitely explored other...
I hope this is appropriate, I have some questions regarding a current repair job to a central two story garage in my townhouse complex. I am stepping outside my knowledge base, please excuse any abuse of terminology. I am based in Ontario.
We were told we needed to replace the waterproof...
We have received an inquiry asking if we can flame cut Manganese steel plate, up to 2". We usually don't cut anything more exotic than 4140 plate. Are there any problems/limitations? I found a couple supplier sites discussing flame cutting, with seemingly contradictory statements...
Thanks everyone for your posts. We ended up just going ahead with the Wheelabrator solution (no ovens hot enough in house). Apparently, our vendor ran them through three times, but it got ~95% of the paint off (and left a nice surface to repaint).
We supplied HRS steel coat with a 2 parts epoxy paint to our customer. Parts were damaged in shipping (paint scraped off), and they were overall unhappy with the paint job (runs, globs). We have to remove the paint and apply again as touch-ups aren't acceptable(?). What is the best way to...
I tested a couple of pieces, slowing down the feedrate by ~10% gave us decent holes. These should be fine (clearance holes for bolts), but don't look as good as usualy where diameter > thickness. I will try to do some more tweaking, though it is usually hard to convince the powers that be to...
The prevailing wisdom in our shop is that the minimum hole diameter is equal to the plate thickness. Is this correct? We need to put 13/32" holes into 1/2" plate on a Bystronic 1500W laser.
