    what's with the usps? i've shipped parts and ordered materials and no dice?

    Same thing here. Item shipped January 31. The last tracking entry is from February 8. It went to the Shreveport sort facility and apparently hasn't been seen since. The local post office said two other packages have the same issue.

    Looking for shop for tight tolerance monel parts (JRIowa?)

    I am looking for a shop to make some tight tolerance monel parts. I think they are around 8" diameter and 12" long with a bunch of cross holes, tolerances down to +/- .0005, a real ugly part. At that size, each blank of material is probably around $5k, so I am looking for a shop experienced in...

    OT: Led tubes. Can you remove/replace components?

    $60/# sounds more like CP pricing than alloy.

    Aerospace shops, where do you get your mil spec fasteners and hardware from?

    McMaster can often provide certs if you ask. They may have to order new parts in with certs from their vendor if they don't have traceability, so it can take longer.

    Any Flow waterjet techs in Florida?

    I would assume that TB is for terminal block and you hook up the corresponding numbers. It is odd that everything in that cabinet looks very clean except those wires though. There may be a small electrical box on the pump as well. I also see the wire coming in the front at the bottom is not...

    Where did you get the spring loaded tool to make sure the part is flat in the vise?

    Any Flow waterjet techs in Florida?

    2. If you can post a picture and/or a description of what the wires connect to, someone here may be able to help. 3. For any 3-phase motor, it it spins the wrong direction, you can swap any two power wires and it will reverse. Is this a Hyplex pump? If so you can message me your email address...

    Alligator Rivet Squeezer

    It might do it. I just glanced at McMaster and they have some of that style rated for up 3/16" steel rivets.

    commercial heat treat facility for 27' 2024-O to T4?

    Astro Aluminum Treating in California is approved by pretty much all the big aircraft manufacturers. I don't know about their max size but they know what they are doing with aluminum.

    3/8" & 5/16" 2024-T4 round bar

    I have a bunch of this material. Is there any interest in cut pieces in a flat rate box? Or longer pieces? I have certs if needed, and it is Chinese made material.

    Where to source Magnesium AZ31B plate?

    All Metal Sales is one of those outfits that will source just about anything, but they are probably just getting it from another distributor so expect the price to be high. Try Metalmart International. I have purchased sheet from them before.

    Atlas Copco compressor issue

    Too much oil? It could be the blow off valve is bad and opening at lower pressure than it should.

    Dom tubing - where to buy?

    That's probably too thick of a wall for DOM. Alro shows hot finished seamless in that size.
