Most of the engineering industries have gone in the uk and work is usually farmed to other countries for fabrication these days, that and the casual use of the word engineer means youngsters do not even consider engineering as a trade, oh and if they can find a trade in engineering??....there...
Sorry but this one has got my back up.....how many times in the past did they report the few accidents where life was lost in the mining industry?..it always hit the headlines...now then along side that was construction and engineering, which suffered more than any mining dissaster when put...
I don't see any problem with having H&S its there as a result from the constant abuse to workers in the past, how many people have died over the past years in engineering due to poor conditions that workers have had to endure without one thought as to whether it affects or endangers ther health...
Should not be allowed on the market!, you can modify the plant, but is it worth it?? how much they saved for a few components can't be much, but to have the work done might be. Wolf used to have such a good name, but who owns them now I don't know, I have seen them for sale and they are not...
If you want good results, buy good gear!! alternative=B&Q
Back in the old days, "did I say that" you could only buy the good stuff, now with the huemunguss amounts of cheap imports and mega stores, these are shoved in the consumers faces, and lets face it how many of us can hold there hand up...
Could be a few things, one being that the machine is operating outside its range, or that the speed is not right for the thickness of steel, or the program is bad, the interface is bad etc.
cnc welders have many flaws if not setup correctly and without the machine in front of me or the...
Firstly make sure the spit is in a nice dry place wrapped up, it will be there a long time!
Forget the arc, of no use here!, mig and gas, oh and rimmer brothers.
You really need some personal help, I suggest a short course at your local college if you do not know any one who welds, or join a...
I agree with weldequip, sounds like you might be chasing holes, I don't know your skill level, but we would cut the rotten piece out with a jig saw and shape a new piece of sheet and then butt weld the new into place, grind back the weld and it was a new tank virtually, this was only done on...
As weldequip says, make the mating edges shamfered 'v' make one pass in the bottom of the groove and then a second pass over this on either side, so in effect you have three passes, with this method you can weld plate upto 10mm, welding the other side is not needed and adds no strength, looks...
If after cleaning the contacts you still get not response, I would be looking at the power diodes on the bridge rectifier, the feed to the motor comes from there and if the bridge has gone that would also stop the motor from running, if you are not compitent in electrical/electronics I would...
Sounds like you could do with all three, Gas is the most versitile (oxy/acet) by far and still is my favorite that I use, especially for cars, but is the hardest to use for a novice. Arc sounds the best suited for you, regards the work you are doing and lincoln make some little beauties, and if...
Always hated doing sills, I used to patch them only to find another hole a few months later, how bad is the damage, has it gone to the inner section and inner sills? I would bin it personally but if you want the practice and have the money and time, then thats fine.
I would be pulling the...
I would not advise it, I have on a landrover chassis, but they are beefy and the metal was good and the weld was straight and I only did it the once.
Mig always unless you like making work.
First thing to do, pull the wire out of the lance all way back to the roll, remove the roll of wire, now switch it on and pull the trigger, do the pinch rollers rotate, increase the speed, do they respond in preportion to the increase on the dial?, if yes the mig is working so far and could just...
they use screens in fabrication shops when the workpiece is large and has to be done outside, this is just two sheets of 4mm ply with two 2 by 2 stiffners screwwed to each sheet and hinged in the middle, with a piece of thin leather over the hinge stiffner to block light coming through the gap...
Pat
What is a PAT test?
PAT stands for Portable Appliance Test, it is mandatory in industry.
Any electrical machine/tool that has a plug on it is classed as Portable.
What does the test do, is prove that the earthing of the machine is good and intact, it proves the supply cable and plug...
General checks
Preventative maitenance is a good practise to use for anyone who uses power tools, how many people use a tool then sling it into a pile of others where it is left until the next time you want to use it? nothing wrong with that, but I would be assuming that it will work next time...
