I am attempting to create a drawing(ipt) for a tubular grab handle and have attached a file to show the form as far as I've taken it.
I having trouble lofting the transition from full round to the flattened section and no one in my work group (maybe that's why it ended up on my task list)seems...
Hoping to locate an Inventor IPT file for steel expanded metal in the regular form as opposed to flattened. More specifically 3/4" x #10 if available but any help appreciated.

I have a deck assembly comprised of a steel plate, a layer of plywood with a rubber sheet about .10" (2.5 mm) thick glued to the wood and a steel trim piece on top of the rubber. A bolt running through the entire thickness of the deck holds the trim.
The problem is that when the bolt is...
we need to access the tops of vans and trucks for repair work and are looking for something like an adjustable height catwalk to access three sides of 20' to 40' vehicles.
To complicate matters we need access to the underside at the same time so floor clutter needs to be minimized.
Anyone...
Our company modifies auto bodies and we try to make cuts close to various reinforcing members when placing add-ons. Some of my associates maintain that positioning of these elements is not very consistent and some claim that we just don't have a consistent datum from which to measure.
Can...
I have an assembly of galvanized sheet steel and the option of joining it with an adhesive or spotwelds. If adhesive, we eliminate a caulking operation that we need if we use spot welds.
The big guestion is service life of the adhesive compared to the spotwelds. Adhesive manufacturer has done...
In cell A1 I have a part name e.g. "XXXX". In cell a2 I have another name, "ZZZZ". These also happen to be the names of some workbooks that I wish to reference. In cell d1, I want to reference cell D3 in workbook "XXXX.xls" & in cell D2 reference cell D3 in workbook "ZZZZ.xls".
Is there a way...
FAQ's and search seemed to offer no help so I'm appealing to the masses. Is there a weld symbol for spot welds (RWS) available for SW? If not, is there a way to add one to the library?

Anyone have any techniques they have used successfully to repair a small zinc casting (<1/4 lb)? This item has sentimental value to the owner and has become a challenge to me!

We need a small quantity (100 gallons)of JP-8 jet fuel for a research project. Our former source no longer handles it. We are in upper Midwest USA. If necessary, we can provide info off-forum for any security concerns.

We have an assemly that is sometimes installed on ocean front sites. It was originally designed for inland applications using aluminized steel for most of the sheet metal parts. Due to the corrosion we see now, we are considering a change to 316SS or aluminum. The question is which aluminum...
I'm trying to find software to allow me to develop the combinations of segmented brake dies for various parts.
I know that Cincinnati and Amada have their proprietary programs but I keep hoping that I can find a shareware or generic one for somewhat less(Amada was about $15K the last I heard)...
Has anyone had experience welding thin (.030") 29-4c to 316?
I have welded a fair amount of 29-4C to itself but have not tried the 316. The small quantities of 29-4C thin wall tube I require have become almost unobtainable and so I would like to try a more readily available material.
Any...
We recently encountered an oil fired heatexchanger that shows small cracks in two areas.
The material is .060" 304SS. Both cracks appear to have started in a weld and spread into nearby material, more or less perpendicular to the weld. One crack runs along the radius of a brake (45 deg.) but...
We need to make rings from mild steel strip .090"thick X 1.75"W with a 14"i.d.. In the past, we have cut these with a plasma cutter or nibbled them on a turret punch. Volumes are increasing so we need to find a better method and eliminate the waste.
One suggestion was to roll...
We are finally considering moving this plant into coil fed sheet metal. We are essentially a low volume manufacturer but have a few parts with enough volume to make this process attractive.
I need some good basic info to begin specifying equipment.
The initial project will involve 22 gauge...
I am looking for a steel half-coupling designed for staking or pressed installation similar to PEM nuts. I need 3/4"NPT.
I've looked in Thomas Register but have been unable to locate anything specific yet.
We have been using a welded fitting but would like to eliminate welding altogether...
Is there any info published on the characteristics that make it possible to mechanically harvest blueberries or other soft fruit like raspberries?
I know that the same harvesting equipment is used for both crops but have been unable to find quantified data such as how much force is required to...
