Thanks for the replies to my post. The teacher did not talk about the number of teeth in the cut but rather cutting the 75x10mm flat bar by having it on edge rather than laying flat would blunt the...

Today, we had a new replacement cold cut saw installed at our school’s Engineering Dept., a MACC brand one with single vice.

I overheard the teacher telling the students how to cut a flat bar...

Don’t want to put this thread off track, but were Parkanson machinery made in Australia? Are their Power Hacksaws sought after?

Need to find out what spindle speed. Not back to work until Monday. My involvement is that they could not get the insert off after it got chipped and they stripped the Allen key slot in the top pin...

I will look into that and see how they are approaching the material.

PDW, yes it is an interrupted cut and I see that Kyocera make inserts for that. The ones they are using are CA525 but they have a CA535 for interrupted cuts. See screen shot. I do believe the tool...

I work in the Manual Arts Department of a High School. Unfortunately, the younger teachers do not have a trade background and their sharpening and lathe skill are not as honed.
A current project...

What would a Hercus 260 be worth that is in reasonably good condition? It’s an ex college unit.

Did a quick search on the web and there is one on Gumtree for $1800 listed 24/4/19 that appears to...

I contacted MIT today with a photo of the Combination Square with the missing parts. They replied that it was too old and parts are no longer available. THanks for your replies.

Could anyone suggest a company they have used for Mitutoyo parts that they would be happy to recommend? It will be a mail order supplier that we would use.

Thanks Grahame!
I am in the process of getting quotes from three different companies. Token Tools was the first company I contacted as suggested on this forum. Our budget provides about $1,000 for...

We already have a couple of MIG's, a TIG and a Plazma cutter. Perhaps I need to convince my boss that we need new generation machines. The purchase needs to be a step forward not backwards that's for...

Grahame and Com_VC. Will get back to you next week re your questions.

The High School where I work is upgrading two of its Arc/Stick Welding Machines. I am the one researching the machine upgrade. We have trading accounts at BOC, Get Tools Direct and Hare & Forbes....

Wow, you are different to the teachers at our school. They would run you down leaving the school carpark at 2.45pm in the afternoons. Coming in with students on the weekends would never happen.

Wow, I seriously doubt that our students could produce work of that calibre. Was it a private school?

I work at a High School where they seem to have had the same Year 12 Engineering project since about 1965. This year they are looking to change the project to make the students more 'employer ready'....

If you have an iPhone tap the maps icon and type in your directions or purchase a street directory in case you get lost.


These are the directions I looked up for you. As you come towards...

I think the drill presses they are selling are out if China not Taiwan.

Nearly all the imported stuff has gone up in price recently due to our weakening dollar.

So should we constantly log on and then log out?

Is it safe to stay constantly logged in, to this forum, without logging on and then signing off after each viewing?

The reason I ask this question is that another forum site I am on, posted this--...

The stake irons at our high school need resurfacing.

Does anyone know of an Engineering firm who could do this type of work in Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast?

It has probably been discussed on this forum before- but why is a right hand tool holder curved to the left? Which probably translates to- right is left and left is right. Why is it so??

I said "magazine" in my original post but meant "catalogue".

This is the "about us" from the web page of ETS (Engineering Tooling Supplies) Loganholme Qld but they have outlets in other states.

"ETS are importers and distributors of quality machine tools,...

How much does the Bullfinch cost and who are the Australian agents?

At the school where I work we have been using a Castrol product. Ratio was about 80ml per 4 litres. Unable to get the aforementioned product we bought a Hole Maker product with a dilution ratio of 1...

What about Pferd. Have used their cup brushes on an angle grinder and they seem good quality. From memory they were made in the USA. This is their web site
PFERD Australia - Homepage
and includes...

Of course the machine has also got a "Weld Time" control knob in addition to "Dwell Time". I use the former for spot welding but still unsure about the dwell time.

I use the Mig infrequently. I do not understand the dwell time switch. In simple terms what is it all about; when do I have it on; when do I have it off? How is the setting determined ie. the 1 to 9.

No I have not been enlarging the page size. I cannot understand why "NEW POSTS" is such a small icon when it is the most used?? That does not make any sense to me.

Above it on the top line is...

"New Posts" is probably the most clicked icon for forum users. However, for iPad users it it not located in a 'user friendly position' and it makes me wonder if the web designers even use an iPad....

I meant to say hydraulic press.

Help! I took the old wire rope off awhile back to measure it to buy a new one. Now I am not sure how it went on. Would anybody be able to post a photo of the configuration?

Thanks Johny, I will follow up.

We can get 67503, 676501 but also need 676504 which you say is available and 67505 which you say is unavailable but we may be ale to adapt with that. So Johnny which Cigweld office holds part 67505....

RVK-355. Would that be a click start torch or a trigger start one?

Gary

ThankS Matthew. Is that a click start torch? I think that is what they are called. Spoke to Pete from Tokentools Welding but he did not have a generic one as a replacement. Unless someone can help...

Trying to get some torch parts for a transplasma AP 30 Air Plasma Cutter. Have been onto local branch of BOC who could not source them from Cigweld. Not sure if it was a Brisbane based Cigweld and if...

I bought Pferd wire brush that attaches to an angle grinder recently and it was made in the USA.

I have sprayed WD40 or the like to lubricate and clean my ezi lap diamond stone and the other older type of stones. Works for me.
