    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...

    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.

    High accuracy angle measurement

    I'm looking at a part that is about 3/8" diameter with a cone on one end. The cone does not come to a point instead it is cut off with a flat. The angle between the cone and the flat nose is required to be +/- 10' (minutes). Is there a protractor or other device to measure this with enough...

    Source for A286 cold rolled/reduced sheet

    Does anyone know of a source for A286 15-17% cold reduced sheet? I see round bar stock is common but it is not available in a large enough diameter for my needs.

    5/8-24 UNJEF bottoming tap or ID thread tool

    I need a tap this size. Does it exist or is it custom? I see quite a few 5/8-24 but no J thread. Or an ID threading tool on a lathe could work.

    Source for small chain/wire hardware

    I am looking for sources (manufacturers and distributors) of hardware like rings, swivels, S-hooks for fairly small chain. Everything is made with 11/12 guage (~.125") diamter wire. I had found a couple in the past but cannot remember what they were. Google fails me. Here is an example of...

    Cordless drills

    Here's several miscellaneous cordless drills I don't want. I charged the Craftsman batteries but they didn't seem to have much power so are probably shot. Make me an offer on one or all to at least cover shipping.

    Dedicated slip roll for wire/bar

    I am looking for a slip roll to make 30" diameter hoops from 3/16" steel wire. We have a 4 ft wide powered slip roll with wire grooves that will do it, but does anyone make a dedicated machine just for wire? It just needs to be strong enough to do it in one pass and be electric powered.

    Where to buy steel wire?

    I am looking for 3/16" diameter steel wire in coil form. The only requirements are that it be weldable and low cost. I found some at Central Steel and Wire in Chicago (~2000 lb per coil), but was hoping to find places closer (North Texas or Oklahoma maybe) so shipping is not so high. This is...

    Looking for end mill recommendation

    I need a 1/2" end mill with a corner radius for cutting 303 annealed stainless steel. The operation is cutting an angled surface on the side of a block by lowering the end mill next to the block to the depth of the angle then moving up and back to cut the angle in one motion. The first cut is...

    What is the best way to fixture this part for drilling an angled hole?

    So this steel part is around 1.75" across, 1.75" long, and has a .125" hole at a 15 degree angle (+/- 1 degree). The hole location is +/- .010" from the hex end. We need to make about 15 pieces. The plan is to make the part complete except for the hole on our lathe and then put it in a mill...

    Can I tap M16x2 in a BT-30 (Haas DT-1) machine?

    I have some parts that I need to drill (through hole) and tap M16x2 in A572 Grade 50 steel plate. Is this too much for a BT-30 machine? Should I look at thread milling instead?

    Ball screw diameter tolerance for end bearings

    We are about to replace the ball screws and ball nuts in our water jet cutter. I'm trying to figure out the size/tolerance the end of the screw should be machined to for the 20 mm ID end bearings. Anyone have experience with bearing fit tolerances for this type of application?

    What does this "~" GDT symbol mean?

    I'm not seeing it in Y14.5 or in a quick Google search. Is this waviness? How is it defined?

    Help locating end mill

    I am looking for an end mill for aluminum (preferably 2 flute) with a .040-080" corner radius. I need it to cut at least 2.375" deep but multiple passes with a necked down end mill is fine. The diameter would be 3/4"-1", ideally 3/4" as I don't want to break the bank. Carbide is OK as long as...
