Friendly Bump on this post....
Been looking at waterjets again recently. Been getting some quotes. Swift Cuts new Swift-Jet is £60k + VAT. Available in 8x4 only.
I contacted an Alibaba Firm, They had a 8x4 Table also, for $40k USD Plus Shipping.
The Wazer is around £9k, Desktop unit, But that...
So its landed, and arrived but we have scrapped two blades pretty much instantly...
Slowest speed the saw will do is 300m per minute, and i'm guessing this is waaaay to fast....
Morning Gents, does anyone have any recommendations for a small ish front print vertical bandsaw with angle table up to 45 degrees.
Will be used solely for cutting exhaust manifold collectors from 1.6mm walled stainles tubing.
I see these "Elektra Beckum BAS 315" floating about all the time...
Not looking to read the exact RPM of the unit, rather than intercept the signal from the potentiometer to produce a read out on a screen. If the output figures are 0-50 for example, i can work with that
Evening Gents, I recently purchase a Baleigh Industrial Positioner, great unit and i use it every day.
My only gripe with it is a lack of digital display for the speed. It has a simple knob which goes from 0-100.
I want to add a simple display, 3 Digit LCD or something which displays the speed...
I actually went ahead and bought a Baleigh Unit about 6 weeks ago. Great unit, Love using it already. Its improve the look of many of the products already. I've made some tooling which makes batch work really easy. Price though £1300....Cheaper than £3500 for the MK Products Digital i wanted...
Even All, whilst have a google to find reviews on the £200 10KG eBay Positioners, the outlook was not terrific.
So, my question is does anyone have any experience with the £500 ebay units...
Morning Gents. Im having a bit of an issue with bandsaw blades lasting less than a week...and at £20 a pop. its becoming expensive...
I have an SIP 8" bandsaw, using 2085mm Blades.
I've been buying the 10/14 Varitooth blades from TuffSaws.
This is most of what i cut..
1.6mm Walled Stainless...
I decided not to pursue the job - Far to much on my hands to spend having sleepless nights of how to run it. There are some on the market for around £600, But pretty bland. The guy wanted a traditional pit bike stand looking table - so it suited the theme of the bike sat on the stand.
Ill...
Afternoon Gents. I've been tasked with making a few display turn tables for a local showroom for some dirt bikes.
I'm just stuck on the motor side of things as ive never motorised anything like this before...
I'm in need of a motor that can...
Do no more than 2.5 RPM (thats 2.5, not 2500)...
Morning folks, i'm currently looking into getting a small CNC plasma table for the shop. Im waiting too long now for simple small profiles from 3mm mild steel that are holding up production, sometimes for more than 2 weeks on a simple 30x30 profile...
I use mainly 3mm Mild Steel brackets, along...
It is an argon mix reg. I do have a proper argon regulator, but the issue i had were the gauges pointing upward. when my bottle is in situ, its not easy to read the fill level without climbing over equipment.
its an old picture. but it shows the current setup, I'm purging a lot now, hence the icing.
I noticed i had use 50 bar in just one day...without a lot of purging. after a quick leak test, i found the first adapter, that screws into the main regulator housing, with the threads damaged. and it...
