Anyone know where I can download different size fastener drawings, 2D, anywhere from #4 up to 1/4 in stove bolts, sheet metal screws, flat, buttonhead etc., ? ...Mike
The wheels I use on flux core are serrated, I presume to allow a good grip without crushing the wire.
When you say aputtering do you mean the arc is shorted out by driving the wire into the base metal on the initial start. I was having that problem until I actually read the manual for our...
4 years ago I attempted to teach myself AutoCAD, failed and tried TurboCAD, I only use it for 2D but there are a lot of talented people that use it for 3D work. Check ot the forums at http://www.imsisoft.com/forums/index.cfm?CFApp=200& ...Mike
I, or actually the company , just bought an HP 500, great plotter works like a charm, mind you I'm using TurboCAD but as far as the plotter configuration goes it should be the same.
The formatter card as it's called, allows you to install extra ram, without it there's no place to install it. The...
TurboCAD V4 Pro is available free, the name is changed to V4 Learning Edition, for 2D it's great http://nct.digitalriver.com/fulfill/0002.16/tc/ ...Mike
I had the same problems with an old CAlCOMP, I was going to buy the drivers from Winline www.winline.com but I got a new plotter before I did. I've heard a couple of people say they're good but I don't have any personal experience with them. If you go to their output devices page, the 7550a is...
Sounds about right, I remember watching a show awhile back on PBS about making lead shot for muskets way back when. The used to take molten lead and drop it from a height into water, you'd think the resistance of the air would cause the drop to form in the shape of a raindrop but apparently...
Yep, know what you mean now, didn't know the proper name, around here we just call them face seal. Never used that many of them, just as replacement for OE hoses on machinery, not much help, sorry..Mike
Most definetly wil do. On a side note, I've tried a few font editing programs, by the time you learn the software you could just have modified the font manually...Mike
Any luck yet, I was looking for a script type font that was all joined also, it's a real pain to have to explode the text and adjust/add radii. The stencil fonts are good but I wanted something a little more script like.
I don't have the luxury of a laser, I've go to use plain 'ole propane...
Yep, it has a custom size entry box, you can enter any size you want. If you want crop me a line and I'll send you a screenshot of the configuration page milburmi@yahoo.com ..Mike
We routinely weld on new vehicles (trucks from 1/2 ton to tandem and 6WD plows) all with electronics to control the engine as well as electronics to control the salt/plow gear without disconnecting the battery . We use a device that connects across the + and - battery terminals to shunt any...
As you said, the information is a little vague. One thing that comes to mind for an actuator is a brake chamber from a truck brake system. Depending on the model chamber you get, you could have it air to engage or air to disengage (parking brake chamber 'maxi' brake)which could act as a failsafe...
Most anything is safe if done properly. The way I've done welding on gas and diesel tanks is to have the tank steamed out and then checked with a sniffer for flammable gas.
Even then, if you're like me when you first strike the arc you're waiting for the big bang. What I usually do for a bit of...
Check out E-Doc Printer, http://www.iteksoft.com/ , it's not a freebie it's what I use to create .pdf's from my drawings (using TurboCAD) and it works great. It has the ability to add watermarks, password protect and a few other options. For $30.00 it's a good deal, no doubt it'll be cheaper for...
I used to live in a house with a flat roof, in the winter you'd hear the occasional bangs, sounded similar to a shotgun. What we finally figured out was the ice on the roof was cracking as it expanded and contracted, it would scare the s**t out of someone that wasn't used to it. After awhile you...
