I'm not a petroleum or natural gas guy, so please bear with me as I may be missing a lot of detail.
My parents have a 60-acre farm in western PA (Jefferson Twp, Fayette County) that they are looking to sell. The property does have natural gas on it (Marcellus shale) and they have been...
Hydra-lock Conform-A chucks...does anybody have any experience with them?
I'm working on a problem part right now. Ø105.3 mm flange OD, Ø96.015 mm minor OD, and a thru hole of Ø78.7 approximately. The part is roughly 16.5 mm long with a 6.35 mm thick flange. The material is 303 stainless...
We are working on developing a part that has a hex shaped cavity in the center. The hex covers the entire length of the part. The size of the hex will be 0.9825"±.002" across the flats, and the part is rougly 1.5" long.
This issue is the hardness. It's sintered P/M stainless steel. Our part...

Grinder/Mill/Sander/Buffer from Schutte GmbH. I'm looking at one for a machining and brushing application (hopefully to combine ops and bring the project in-house rather than outsourcing to multiple vendors). Does anybody have any experience with this style of machine or the company's products...
My company currently outsources all of our steam treatment work, but we're looking at bringing the process in-house to better control quality, etc. (at the customer's request). I've found several used furnaces and will be comparing those prices against newer units. My question concerns the...
Here's a question for those folks who deal with chemistry on a daily basis. I personally haven't dealt with it since my first year of college, so I'm a bit rusty.
I'm currently making a solution of magnesium hydroxide and isopropyl alcohol. The concentration of Mg(OH)2 in solution is about...
Here's a question for ya'all...I'm looking for a foam (EVA-ish mat'l) sleeve to slip fit a steel tube. I can manufacture the tube to fit, but I'm looking for something in the ballpark of a 3" O.D. with 0.25" wall thickness (24" or more long). I can probably live with a thicker or thinner wall...
