I need to create a somewhat small spindle that will hold a chamfer tool on one end needed to chamfer hundreds of holes inside of a ring approximately 20" in dia. This spindle will be mounted to a plate and driven via belt. Once mounted I will have control of the z-axis movement (spindle...
Normally i do not create shop drawings, but we are working on some small platforms made from c5 x6.4 channel, which will require them. There is coped and butt joints, involved which are all welded. Does someone have an example on the proper procedure for calling out and detailing connections...
I'm currently looking at a job that requires ordox bushings. I have never heard of or can find any info on this material. I'm not sure if its a trade name or if the spelling is even correct. They line a bore in a cast wheel which is loaded with 38,000 lbs. The axle pin is 410 stainless. Anyone...
Im looking for a stainless F.B. 3/8"x7-1/4" x 32' long (316) It is a knife edge and we are unable to have a welded seam. Does anyone have a source that can make this?
Im looking for a website that shows materials and the properties they have? I'm looking the web for different ASTM#'s and come up with all kinds of stuff.
I tried metweb but i can't seem to find A513-5 on it or even A106b. I come across this lots and waste a lot of time trying to find info about...
Does anyone have any good sources? The problem is the part size is 30"x30"x24". Its a cubic housing with a hollow bore that needs plating? Canadian would be nice but US sources are fine. Thanks
Imagine a skidder, whose frame is 2- 8x8 sq. tubes running parallel as the frame. Now outriggers are to be welded behind the rear tires, as a drill rig is now mounted on the back. The mount plates have 3 sides of the 8x8 cut out of them and are mounted from underneath perpendicular to the frame...
OK it looks like we have a cnc miller in the works (first one) and I am completely confused about the operation. Do CAM manufactures MasterCAM, etc. strictly run off imported drawings? Or can you create parts in the CAM program itself without CAD? After creating the "g" code with the CAM...
Does anyone have any experience using Fryer vertical machining centers. They seem like a decent machine, but its hard to find anyone thats used them or dealt with the company. We are interested and are trying to see if the company's reputable or not, or how the machines hold up. The model of...
Hello,
we are again currently looking to upgrade some machinery and get from conventional machines into CNC. We do not have much experience in the CNC market except for what the salesmen offer. (It is also impossible to talk to a factory rep, seems everything is 3rd party). We seem to be...

What happens to 3/4" sq. stock 4140 when it is put through a liquid nitride process. Is the hardness dependant on time? or are results typical to the stock hardness?
i have some 4150 and i need to heat treat them for maximum toughness. What Rc value is this at? I assumed 50, but i recieved the parts back at 60+. Is it possible to anneal them without sacrificing the material? Is there any other way to bring them back to the 50 level? What is a good...
not really a mechanical eng problem, but i figured someone here might be familiar with burning tables. Anyways the table i program is capable up to 12" plate, but we rarely run anything over 2-3". The machine is wonderful it can cut any shape to perfection, but it seems to be limited to...
I am faced with a problem of making a custom roller chain. It is a 160 pitch chain, and the issue i have is with the roller material. Does anyone know what material is used in standard roller chain rollers?. It has a high Rc value, but must not shatter, and is hopefully readily available.
Thanks
