I'm talking old equipment, none of the fancy new electronic gizmo's.
I am looking at two testers for some case hardened parts I am making. I started making a couple and wound up with a whole product family. I have a great heat treater who is willing and able to do testing for me, but I would really like to be able to test occasionally, whenever needed, without having to make multiple trips (an hour each way) to the heat treater.
So I am looking at a used Wilson Superficial and a Wilson Tukon.
I understand from literature that the Wilson Superficial works just like my Wilson Rockwell, only a lighter load, with less penetration.
I sorta understand that the Tukon uses a cross sectioned sample that would then provide depth and hardness of case. I do not exactly understand how the microscope/measurement arrangement works, and I have not been able to find a manual online.
I am going to go inspect each of these today, can you provide specific things to look out for? Things that may be missing to look for? problems or issues to look out for?
The Wilson Tukon is a MO model and the Wilson Superficial is a 3JS
thanks!
