THE DIVIDING HEAD

DIVIDING HEADThis head is easy to do if your workshop has a lathe and welding machine, Setting it to any milling machine that can handle the head bolts penetrate the splines and spline grooves, cut into the gear teeth and to perform other operations. All items shown in the picture. A few clarifications. The base of the head is made from two steel angled sections with a flange width of 120 mm, welded among themselves. to between cheeks kept the size of 70 mm.

PIPE THE PIPE THROUGH THE PIPE

PIPE PIPE THROUGH A PIPEFor bending metal rods and pipes there are many ways and devices. Most often this operation is performed on the bending. But not everyone (even of the workman person) he has. The easiest method is when one end of the workpiece is securely fixed in a suitable place (e.g. in a vise), and holding the other bend If bend the end of the short, he put on a corresponding segment of the pipe, using it as a grip and lever. But this method does not provide either the quality or the accuracy of the bend radius.

AN AUTOMATIC PUMP FOR BIKE

AN AUTOMATIC PUMP FOR BICYCLEPump chamber of a Bicycle wheel, for example after repair or tire, the operation is quite tedious because of the low performance of the supplied pump. Besides, there are pumps, hose attach at the end — then the job is also heavy. Because the pump has to keep on weight, creating pressure with one hand and the other opposing him, that is producing double the work.

DRAWING MILL ON THE TABLE…

DRAWING MILL ON THE TABLE...You never tried to bend metal sections “area” or “channel”? If you had, then you probably know how hard it is, especially if the profile is lengthy. Simple drawing mill, made by me, allows you to run a variety of shaped metal profiles with a thickness up to one millimeter in almost any length. In the case are plastic and metals 3 steel grades and the stainless steel, aluminum alloys and brass.

SANDING FIBERGLASS

GRIND FIBERGLASSIn the manufacture of personal watercraft, hidrocaribe and other small-tonnage vessels to protect the surface from moisture and make the case the mechanical strength is widely used fiberglass. However, faced with the complexity of the processing surfaces having a large area (an average of about 8 m2). In this rational use of mechanized tools (electric drill, grinding machine, type “Electra” etc.).

HEAT WITHOUT FIRE

HEAT WITHOUT FIREHeat the water to 50-60° can setting developed by the participants NTTM special design Bureau No. 1 of the Institute of power engineering Institute imeni G. M. Krzhizhanovskogo. Interestingly, there is no furnace or heaters. Replaces them… the sun. This setup is especially desirable in those areas of the country where local fuel is missing, and the cost of imported quite high.

THE KEY IS “HOW MUCH”?

KEY Even the person far from technicians, often have to Unscrew-screw the screws, bolts, nuts (hardware — so often referred to in abbreviated form these metal products) are designed for this tool — a wrench. Each key caused the size of its working parts, simply — throat. But the corresponding value is the size of the key — referred to in the technical handbooks by the letter S (the distance between the opposite parallel faces on a nut, bolt head or screw), is not listed on any of the fasteners. No, as a rule, these data and the attached to any technology operating instructions and repair even in the notation and in the drawings, although other information about fasteners in them abound: specify thread size, and her step sometimes the length and even the type of heat treatment, often tightening torque. But most of these data — structural, and they need to manufacture parts. When the adjustment, repair or Assembly work of the above settings thread, except the last one are not in demand. For a mechanic it is much more important to know what size front axle you need a key for the head of one or the other of the screw or bolt and nut (or, as professionals say, “the key is how much”).
