    Stainless shaft buildup / remachining setup

    Bernie: Are your weld zones long stretches of shaft or short zones? If short. I think the cold wire tig is the right thing. We regularly do build up and re-machine on slender stainless agitator shafts from 7/8" to 1.50" dia.... short seal zones and bearing journels. We have...

    Making custom seals for an old high pressure CO2 valve?

    I have had success machining replacements for rubber sealing elements from PTFE. Round objects are easily lathe turned from bar stock. Years ago I machined PTFE vee stacks in a size I could not find. Mcmaster has now added that size to their list (9572k32) so I no longer need to make them...

    What happened to the location requirement?

    I have taken note that on the"recent forum posts" page that comes up first, there is no clue from where or from whom the post is sent. I now have to click on each of them to see if they originate from a person or place I could previously ignore at a glance. ( I ignore a lot from the left...

    Sanding or grinding some 304 stainless to make it flat, how would you do it?

    Oil seals

    It is unusual to see a lip seal size that cannot be found in Dichtomatik's (800-328-2840) catalog list. However, Garlock did make a lot of unique sizes for OEMs which can no longer be found. TCM_Dichtomatik does list a couple sizes that might work for you. A metric 71x88x8TC...

    can you heat up UHMW in an oven to un-banana it?

    Years ago, I was design/building cheese cutting machinery. Needed to mill a deep pattern in the face of a platen 12"x 28"x 2". predictably ; the UHMWPE we chose warped very badly. (an inch or more over 28") My supplier was Eiler/Seely Co down in Bloomington. ( now "Activar") They...
