Hi

Not familiar with your machine but would it be possible to put a DTI on the column to see if it is moving?

I was thinking more along the lines of tumbling rather than vibrating and perhaps using small stainless washers as I can get hold of them easily.

Hi Sven

Thanks for the reply. Stainless balls seem to be worth a try,; there are some suppliers on eBay.

I looked into electrolytic polishing but could only find one machine and that was...

in a job interview situation use the word 'empirical':bs::)

Both normalizing and stress relieving can be done at relatively low temperatures with only minimal affect to mechanical properties.

I doubt this is done on instrument strings though. I have...

Hi John

Hook's law and Young's modulus are only ever guides and approximations. For example the extension of a spring depending on the weight applied to it is never truly linear as Hook's law...

Hi

yes quite feasible without heating the wire. It is called cold heading and usually the machine are very robust and powerful.

Hi Steve

Is the belt sander housed in a box?

My experience of suction methods for material removal is that it is the word suction that often misleads. It is forgotten that you normally only...

Not an expert on this, I was an expert in making cans though:) the only reason I am aware of this subject is that I am researching it my self for polishing stainless parts.

I am looking for a simple tool to form a small batch of the cupped washers show on the attached sketch.

I intend to use the tool in a small hand press to produce about 100 parts.

In the past I have done this on a lathe using a HSS tool bit.

Hi Michael

Could I suggest vibratory or tumble cleaning, which also do the de-burring for you. Perhaps you could use a recycled media:)

With a bit of research and experimentation you may...

Any recommendations on polishing small stainless parts; techniques, media etc.

Hi All

I am in the UK and looking for a budget source of LM type block and rail linear gudies for a lathe project.

Any help appreciated.

Brian

OK I understand your question better.

Yes each type of THK rail can have a different ratting for loads in different orientations, including static and dynamic loading.
There is no reason why they...

Hi

I have designed built plenty of machines and THK rails work just as well in any orientation.

I would degrease it and then spray paint with a zinc rich paint.

Hi Neil

Some information on the environment you plan to sue the wrench would help in giving advice.

Brian

Doesn't it also depend on the earth rotating?

Hi Scott

As the holes are so repetitive I tend think that CNC night be a bit of an overkill and it would take a while to specially build or adapt one.

I would suggest a manual jig that spans a...

You could try a butile pond liner

You can use the same tea mug all week without washing it.:)

When someone ask you take 'a gnats cock' of a part you know how much.:)

OK understand now.

A good solution would be to drill and tap a small hole on the edge of the cap head and then screw in a small grub screw.

If that is not allowed then squirt some locktite...

No problem, better with the picture:)

A couple of points;
The only loctite solutions I have seen go on the threads but I am a little confused, are you trying just to stop the bolts coming loose...

Hi

Could you perhaps try wire locking like they use on racing machinery?

Brian

No Problem

Choice of carbide is just to give longer tool life and dimensional stability.

Not sure what tonnage press you would need I have never had to spec a press for this type of work so a...
