For industrial workshops, magnetic drilling machines are their favorite equipment as they drill wide, accurate holes in steel without the need for any bulky tools or carrying any significant components to a drilling machine. The device has a strong electromagnetic base that secures the machine onto the workpiece, allowing the…

Copper shim stock 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm is sufficient for making up small gaps or small flatness differences at most electrical busbar connections. This is because thicker sheets (up to approximately 0.5 mm thick) are employed only when the gap measured is larger. It is dependent on the specifications…

Selecting an involute gear cutter requires determining the gear’s module and pressure angle, then determining how many teeth the gear has, before picking a cutter whose number includes that number of teeth. The module is what determines the size of the teeth, while the number of teeth determines the profile…

Looking to buy a magnetic drill? You will see that there are principally two options available: corded and cordless. Both machines can cut perfect holes in steel, but they are suitable for different volumes of work, budgets, and sites of operation. Getting input from the dealers in magnetic drilling machines…

Picking the right shim stock makes a huge difference. It’s not just about getting machines to run smoothly- it keeps bearings and couplings in good shape and saves your team from constant realignments. Shim stock is basically a thin metal foil, cut to exact dimensions, used to lift or level…

The phenomenon of tool wear refers to the gradual elimination of material from the cutting edge. In the case of carbide tipped tools, this process occurs through the means of abrasion, heat, adhesion, or mechanical impact. It is important to understand how this phenomenon occurs, since this will help you…

When selecting a gear cutter, there are three factors that must be related to the gear that is to be cut: module (or diametral pitch), pressure angle, and cutter number, with a range of teeth that includes the required number of teeth. The module and pressure angle must be exact.…
