WHY THE 'DAILY GRIND' CAN BE DEADLY
Because grinders are used on a daily basis, many workers may become complacent about their hazards. To help protect workers, MANCOMM has released this Grinder Safety Training CD.
REDUCE LINER REPLACEMENT TIME BY HALF
On QUICK LOAD liners from Tregaskiss, the welding operator needs only to remove the front-end nozzle, retaining head and contact tip, then feed the liner through the front of the robotic MIG gun and over the wire, using it as a guide.
GRADE SELECTOR GUIDE AIDS IN APPLICATION OF TUNGSTEN CARBIDE MATERIALS
General Carbide Corporation has created a web-based Grade Selector Guide to Guide to provide a step-by-step process to arrive at the proper grade selection for tungsten carbide tooling.
FLEXIBLE BALL-IN-SOCKET MOUNT FOR A WIDE RANGE OF STURDY POSITIONING APPLICATIONS
The very compact VM-1 industrial mount developed by Sprinter Marking provides highly flexible, easily changeable positions that support substantial weight when secured in the desired position.
