Probably more deluded if you think that injection moulding tools are about nice square blocks that are easy to hold.
There is injection tool making and there is injection mould tool making. When you have 70+ inserts in one tool no square faces to hold against each other come back and tell hold...
Christ 5 pages for turning up a bit of steel each end and cnc mill two sides, it's a super easy job. The centre hole is probably H7 so all it need is reaming. If you don't want to go down the case hardening route and refinishing you could go with a steel that can be nitrided and you will get...
Carrs for high end Aluminium plates (7075 t6 equivalent etc)
SSA for standard 5000 & 6000 series aluminium
That is currently where a toolmaker I design for buys it from (orders every week).
If you are cutting all those slots full length though a thinish plate I would rough it and then leave it...
As others have said it should be O1.
Generally speaking GFS is O1 unless you specify something else, but then really it shouldn't be classed as the generic name 'GFS' toolmakers name. It's just some ground steel type.
It is pretty soft in it's bought form - easy to drill and mill. Consistent...
None of those took into consideration the pull of the moon on the Earth as it rotates.
Obviously the only accurate why to do this is take one reading this year at a set time, then wait another year exactly at the same time and rotate 180 degree and take the second reading.
Remember the...
Mazda has cut ties with ford for some years now. All current stuff in the UK is Mazda Japan = all Mazda design & manufacturer
Though even saying that really most of the Mazda stuff from the past in this country was Mazda Japan not rebadged fords like in some countries. OK the old Mazda 2 was...
Elephant put me on to Auxillis back in June when someone drove into me. Third attempt at fixing, got it back on Thursday 19-9-19 and it now has a scuff on the rear bumper!
Never going to use a claim handling company again - they use the dregs of the body shops. Worst than that it is near enough...
You say that but I bought a brand new one and it over torqued and snapped two bolts so I sent it back. The replacement that I got sent out didn't work in reverse :doh:
So in the end I went and got a German made one to replace it and has been faultless plus with a bonus of the adjustment being...
Carolus isn't necessarily made in the far east.
Quite a few bits are made in Germany or Europe. I know for a fact Carolus Torque wrenches and punches are made in Germany and both lines are very good.
Certain amount of truth in it. Black oxide is better for clean rooms where chrome flack can cause problems.
Yes as has been gone over already impact tools are better without chrome.
Generally speaking black oxide is industrial use where looks don't matter. Also in industrial settings when...
Funnily enough the only chrome sockets I have ever had that rusted after a bit of rain were a couple of advanced Halfords.
As said black oxide rusts easier than chrome but is considered more durable against chipping = why impact tools are black.
The other issue is how good is the black oxide...
All free versions of Draftsight will cease running after 31st December 2019.
You are able to keep your free version of 2018 until then.
The 2019 version is no free.
Well you can go on the flat rate VAT scheme and you don't need MTD. Probably pretty expensive if you are a electrician or plumber to be on the flat rate scheme though.
HI-PS is PS with rubber added. It still snaps if you bend it far enough where as Polyprop generally doesn't.
Not only that if you only add a bit of rubber HI-PS gets closer and closer to standard PS. Basically if you want a bit more durable product than PS it can be achieved with...
It is nothing like polyprop. See how long a bucket would last in HI-PS = not long.
HI-PS is normal Polystyrene with rubber added. It gives it a bit of impact resistance over standard polystyrene = HI high impact (bit of a joke really it is still pretty poor). ABS should be a better plastic but...
