    Opinion of new Fiat Spyder

    Not at all my area of expertise. Went to look at the car and the body shape just looked silly. Sort of an over-done version of really expensive cars. Is this correct or is that body styling really functional other than from a marketing standpoint? Thanks, Tom Thomas J. Walz Carbide...

    Kudos for Kaman

    Mark Bernard of Kaman Industrial Technologies found a new PLC for our old, house - built machine. He also came down and installed it. Then he noticed something else so he fixed that as well. That's it. Just really great service for an infrequent, small customer. Thomas J. Walz Carbide...

    Source for metal samples

    Doing some teaching next month to a group that rates high in tactile intelligence. Like to find samples of nickel, zinc, chrome and cobalt as small bars, thick strips or something similar. I can buy stock and cut, polish, package, etc. here but would rather just buy finished specimens...

    Trying to find a desctiptive term

    Email from a customer. He is trying to remember a word he heard about 12 years ago. “It was a new word that I had never heard of before, scientific sounding. He used it in a very similar way to, ‘carbide is a xxx metal, meaning that you can heat it up and then let it cool very slowly or very...

    Can you trust an analog pressure gauge?

    Can you trust an analog (dial, needle) pressure gauge, even one that is oil filled? I went to a seminar this week on improving cutting in sawmills and one of the speakers strongly suggested that you switch from analog gauges to digital gauges for air pressure. He said he’d seen failure rates as...

    Carbide Braze Failure Due to Poor Machining of the Steel Holder

    I rarely see braze failure for this cause. It is even more rare to see something this extreme. Link Thomas J. Walz Carbide Processors, Inc. www.carbideprocessors.com Good engineering starts with a Grainger Catalog.

    Something to replace band saw rubbings?

    Something to replace band saw rubbings? I attended some training over the weekend. As part of it there was a lecture on the importance of good band saw rubbings. If you are in a saw mill and need new a band saw blade you take a paper and pencil and do a rubbing of a section of a few teeth...

    Final authority for definition of engineering terms?

    Is there a final authority for the definition of engineering terms? Maybe something like The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics or the AWS (American Welding Society) but for engineering. I tried NIST and ASME. Search on Google and similar was surprisingly unhelpful. Basic engineering texts...

    What is the best wood for a hiking staff?

    What is the best wood for a hiking staff? Strongest, toughest, prettiest, most comfortable, etc. If you were going to build a hiking staff, what would you use? Weight is somewhat of an issue. Ability to hold up while beating down brush and blackberries is also an issue. It would be nice if...

    Please recommend ceramic for brazing "Pokey Sticks"

    A "Pokey stick" is used to maneuver parts or hold parts in place during brazing. This is different than ceramics used for jigs or fixtures in that it is hand held as well as being repeatedly picked up and set down. Occasionally they are dropped off the operator's table onto the concrete floor...
