    Instructions for Using the OMW Sensitive Tapping Kit

    Thank you for purchasing the OMW Sensitive Tapping Kit. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed making it. With a little care, this tool should give you many years of service. Please read the instructions below to take full advantage of your new Tapping Kit. And let me know if you have comments or questions. I can be reached via email at [email protected], or at OMW Corporation (21 Pamaron Way, Ste. G., Novato, CA 94949). Best Regards, Joe Osborn President, OMW Corporation. Instructions for Using the OMW Sensitive Tapping Kit Background The OMW Sensitive Tapping Kit was inspired by my efforts to tap very small holes in soft material, such as brass and plastic. I found standard tapping wrenches to be far too large and lacking in the sensitive “feel” needed to keep from stripping the hole. Initially, I actually wrapped tape around the tap itself and turned the tap between my fingers. Searching for a better technique led to my design The OMW Sensitive Tapping Wrench of the Sensitive Tapping Kit. I hope that you will enjoy it. Using the Sensitive Tapping Kit Tap Guide Tap Extension Wrench Guide Rod The Sensitive Tapping Kit is composed of four parts. The Wrench, which is used to hold the taps; the Tap Guide, which is used to hold the tap straight to the hole; the Tap Extension, which extends the reach of the Wrench; and the Wrench Guide Rod, which allows the Wrench to be held straight in a lathe, mill or drill press. (OVER) 2 The Wrench and Guide Rod The Wrench will hold standard taps from 0-80 to 6-32, which all have the same shank diameter.

  • Tap Operating Guidelines

    Tap Operating Guidelines

    Taps OPERATING GUIDELINES Understanding Taps • Optimize Tap Performance • Prevent Breakage Taps are rotary cutting tools that cut internal threads in metal. They have cutting teeth and either helical or straight flutes for the passage of chips and the admission of cutting fluid. The purpose of cutting internal threads is so that it can receive a part with an external thread, such as a bolt, rod, or fastener. These two parts can then be joined together. Taps can be made out of different types of steel and can be engineered for different applications (See Champion Tap Guide). Anatomy & Nomenclature The SHANK fits into the tap holder. The at the end of the tap, drives The FLUTES are grooves that provide SQUARE a path for the removal of chips and rotates the tap. FLATS are the sides of the square at the end of the shank and the flow of cutting fluid The POINT controls the ejection of chips* *Spiral Point Taps AKA “Gun Taps” are ideal for through hole applications The NECK enables the flow of The CHAMFER aligns the tap lubricant and deeper tapping and provides easy-starting Chamfer Styles > The chamfer is ground on the front of the tap to help it begin threading and assist with alignment. 7-10 TAPER - 7 TO 10 THREADS OF CHAMFER Nickname: “STARTER Taps” - they are easy to align and start threading 3-5 PLUG - 3 TO 5 THREADS OF CHAMFER Most popular - often used to start and finish threading in a single pass 1-1.5 BOTTOM - 1 TO 1.5 THREADS OF CHAMFER Nickname: “FINISHING Taps” - can thread to the bottom of a blind hole (packs the chips at the bottom) Through Holes vs.

    Study Unit Toolholding Systems You’Ve Studied the Process of Machining and the Various Types of Machine Tools That Are Used in Manufacturing

    Study Unit Toolholding Systems You’ve studied the process of machining and the various types of machine tools that are used in manufacturing. In this unit, you’ll take a closer look at the interface between the machine tools and the work piece: the toolholder and cutting tool. In today’s modern manufacturing environ ment, many sophisti- Preview Preview cated machine tools are available, including manual control and computer numerical control, or CNC, machines with spe- cial accessories to aid high-speed machining. Many of these new machine tools are very expensive and have the ability to machine quickly and precisely. However, if a careless deci- sion is made regarding a cutting tool and its toolholder, poor product quality will result no matter how sophisticated the machine. In this unit, you’ll learn some of the fundamental characteristics that most toolholders have in common, and what information is needed to select the proper toolholder. When you complete this study unit, you’ll be able to • Understand the fundamental characteristics of toolhold- ers used in various machine tools • Describe how a toolholder affects the quality of the machining operation • Interpret national standards for tool and toolholder iden- tification systems • Recognize the differences in toolholder tapers and the proper applications for each type of taper • Explain the effects of toolholder concentricity and imbalance • Access information from manufacturers about toolholder selection Remember to regularly check “My Courses” on your student homepage.

  • Monte Carlo Stock

    Monte Carlo Stock

    Gun Stocks STOCK DESIGN AND STOCK STYLE Types of Gun Stocks A gunsmith requires a basic understanding of stock function prior to becoming a stock maker. A rifle stock, in function, is nothing more than a segment of wood, fiberglass, plastic, or other material shaped to support the rifle’s barrel and action. It also functions to conform to the shooter’s body so the shooter can control the firearm. That’s the mechanical side of it. However, arms lovers the world over consider a stock much more than a mechanical device. They think of a gun stock as a work of art and function (Figure 1). As a prospec- tive gunsmith, we hope this is your position. FIGURE 1—Notice the attractive oak-leaf pattern on this Bishop-III stock. (Photo courtesy of Reinhart Fajen, Inc.) Stocks can be built in a multitude of styles with a stock shape to fit everyone. Even factory rifles come in a wide variety of stock styles. Factory stocks, incidentally, have come a long way and can be considered quite good today, although cer- tainly not in the realm of a custom-made stock. Figure 2 shows a gun stock labeled with its proper nomenclature. 1 FIGURE 2—Become familiar with the names of the parts of a gun stock. Early Stock Design Turning the pages of gun history to an earlier time reveals that the first stocks well known to American shooters had a great deal to do with contemporary stock designs. However, such muzzleloader stocks left a lot to be desired.
  • Semi-Solid Slurry Formation Via Liquid Metal

    Semi-Solid Slurry Formation Via Liquid Metal

    SEMI-SOLID SLURRY FORMATION VIA LIQUID METAL MIXING A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering July 2003 by Matthew M. Findon ________________________________________ APPROVED: Diran Apelian, Howmet Professor of Engineering, Advisor Richard D. Sisson, Jr., Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering Program Head ii Abstract New, economical semi-solid metal (SSM) processes rely on forced convection during solidification to influence non-dendritic growth. The fundamental mechanisms that produce SSM microstructures in the presence of forced convection (due to fluid flow) are not fully understood. The objective of this work is to elucidate these mechanisms through the use of a new semi-solid slurry-making technique. Employing an apparatus developed at WPI, two alloy melts are mixed within a static reactor that induces convection and rapid cooling. Experiments carried out with this apparatus, named the “Continuous Rheoconversion Process” (CRP), result in globular semi-solid microstructures throughout a wide range of processing conditions. These conditions include the superheat in the melts before mixing, cooling rate of the slurry through the SSM range, and the presence or absence of inoculants in the melts. The results comprise repeatable sets of semi-solid microstructures having fine particle size and shape factors approaching unity. Even in the absence of melt inoculants, uniform distributions of α-Al particle sizes of about 60µm are attainable. Entrapped liquid is not present in the majority of the samples obtained with the CRP, and irregular particles that form in the process are of a limited distribution.
