Big Inch I think your correct in what you say, I was a little harsh perhaps . but have actually seen persons take this route i.e roughneck...study ,study study and climb the ladder to drilling engineer , and very good engineers at that. You dont see it so often now because of the various...
Yes the advice is extreme,but every one wants to make it to the top these days in ultra quick time .
More and more finding graduates with so many qualifications but no practical experience and in some cases lack of common sense.there are some execeptions to this but few and far between ...my...
Take a job as a roughneck (if you can get one)with one of the drilling contractors...look learn and listen...and take it from there ..you cant beat experience

Suggest you look at the Sandvik web site for range of cutters
If you machine down vertically on the vertical face you will machine out the radius at the base shown in your photograph, so you have to reposition your cutter for the horizontal face . The type of cutter I believe you...
You wont be able to do this process with one tool you will as mikehalloran says cut into the radius at the base thus weakining the cast ....you must have a final size for the vertical face and surface finish standard ? its not left as a rough cut ?
You want to do the two cuts with one tool is what I think your saying , so why dont you try it ? The vertical cut is a roughing cut so your feeds need slowing down considerably to produce a good finish , how many engine blocks do you have to machine?
What machine are you using

Apologies for joining this thread somewhat late in the day,( would have expected to to it on the fluid power forum) I agree with the advice gven by all subscribers to this thread.I would also suggest if you are using any galvanised piping in your sytem to replace it with hose or the...
You dont mention what machine you are using or if the present set up is achieving the production rate.Is the surface finish affected with this set up
If by removing this platform you can improve the production rate then your production department should listen to you .
Unfortunately at some...
Cant see much wrong with the process for the seat insertion, but if the seats are not holding with the clearances you have given plus loctite I would consider electron beam or laser welding and compatible materials for valve seat and valve ie stellite, had this same problem with loose seats on...
Depending on how many you have to do it may be worthwhile contacting the Hedo machinery company they have some very good bar twisting machinery , your component may be a bit fragile for this process
You need to do your checks , cylinder head flatness , bolt/nut torque sequence, the pattern on the gasket suggests to me a warped head or uneven tightening of the cylinder head ... but could be anyone of the things .Check the cylinder head for flatness first , use new studs/bolts nuts for...
Its a strange one,like you cant think why its connected at 120 feet ...only to say its in the air dive range ..but if so could have been connected at say 30 ft .My original question doesnt have any relation to the answer , but have come across some unexplained designs on older platforms over the...
