Given the fact that I would have no information to provide members even if I had their email addresses, there would be no point in compiling such...
Well, David, it sounds as if you are bearing an unreasonable burden financially and perhaps in day-to-day work as well. On the financial front, I...
Recently there was a several-day period when the forum was off-line. There was no splash screen to indicate the reason for the outage. And since...
My ten-year-old grandson was over the other night and foolishly asked me how things were going at the foundry. The above discussion was fresh in...
But, Billy, it is hard to imagine a mold any more tipped than the ones poured by Lodge in this video! [MEDIA] I mean these pans are vertical. I...
That is an interesting simulation, for sure. I did step through it slowly especially around the 25 second area and beyond. Thank You!! [ATTACH]...
That is an interesting simulation. Thank you! In my tiny foundry with no simulation software other than my imagination :) I would incline flat...
I run Onshape for CAD as it is free if you don't mind having your work being visible to all users and if you are going to gross under a certain...
Actually on thin parts like the flask pieces, address plate, and the 3-armed item above, no riser should be needed. Shrinks tend to occur in...
And I put it to use this morning. I looked down and this is what I saw---pretty normal environment for it I'm afraid. [ATTACH] Denis
And another update to the foot pedal saga. That little push on push off switch that I added recently has worked well for about a year. However, it...
Here ae a couple pics of a blind riser in green sand I poured Thursday. The casting and basin plus riser weight 40 pounds total. You can see...
Concerning the USN Foundry Manual cited by HT1 it is amazing how much useful foundry information is concentrated in that single resource. If you...
Correct ratio of FeSi as stated. Do not want or need ductile for the application if these castings. Denis
Ambitious indeed! I am looking forward to following this project. With respect to posting .STEP files: I do not think you can post them...
It appears at the base of the riser and persists all the way through the casting. Denis
Here is a video of the pin/lift system for the Liebherr tele booms and their pin system. [MEDIA] Denis
Again having trouble pasting images in an edited but not new post: The outer tube with center tube removed. [ATTACH] Denis
For some reason I could not post this image when editing the message above. This is the inner boom section with the outer boom box and wear pad...
OK, so I am having fun practicing my CAD drawing and thinking about box boom sections... Here is how wear pads might be arranged on nesting boom...
