How do you determine the size of a bandsaw?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To determine the size of band saw needed:

Primary criteria:

  • If the band saw is required for professional or industrial use:

A floor standing cabinet model can be selected which include added fetures not found on bench top models.

  • If the band saw is required for home or woodworking hobbyist use:

A bench top model would be sufficient.

Secondary criteria:

  • Determine the "cutting depth" required to suit your purpose - The "cutting depth" is the distance from the distance from the table to the upper blade guides.
  • Determine the "throat depth" required to suit your purpose - The throat depth is the distance from the saw band to the machine's column.

What are the different types of milling cutters?

Asked by Wiki User

The different types of milling cutters are milling machines and end mills. Milling machines shape a surface by using sharp cutting teeth to rotate against the work piece. An end mill is more common and is able to drill directly into the workpiece.

What is the function of a tool post of a lathe machine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The tool post allows the user to control a cutting tool (such as a chisel) more accurately - to produce better results.

The tool post holds the lathe tools that will be required for each cutting operation required in that part of teh production process. Each post can hold up to four differing tolls - example. Facing tool, knurling tool, long reach internal cutter and then a parting tool. The tool post rides on the saddle on a horizontal plane and the in a cross feed. Most tool feeds can be set to automatic where cutting speed is set and the movement of the post on the saddle automated

How much would a CNC machine cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on how big it is and what it is made to do. You can get some small home wood working CNC machines for making decoratoive patterns and such for just one or two thousand dollars, or you can get very complex machines for making much larger industrial parts that could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or more, and probably everything in between.

the size of a lathe can be described by either of the following ways.

1.DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO DEAD CENTERS.

2.SWING RADIUS. IT'S THE DISTANCE MEASURED FROM THE SADDLE/CARRIAGE TO THE AXIS OF THE SPINDLE.

What materials can be cut on a laser cutter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The laser tool for cutting has different capabilities than other tools. it's noncontact cutting and small beam diameter (0.007 inch typical) means that it can cut intricate shapes and small features. Mechanical tools with small diameter endmills must run slowly and be careful not to break the tool or heat it too much. You can make intricate parts, such as machine components.

Lasers can also cut materials that would otherwise wear down tooling. Laser cutting carbon steel and stainless steel is commonly done with laser because it costs less than replacing tooling on a CNC machine, and it can be much faster. You can make quarter inch sheet metal parts used in stainless steel tools.

Lasers can cut materials and leave a smooth or polished edge, thus remove a secondary process for grinding, such as that caused by a plasma cutter that leaves a rough edge, or a router that leaves a rough edge. You can make point of purchase displays made of thick polished acrylic.

Why is a block and tackle useful?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A block and tackle magnifies the pulling force applied to rope.

This is useful for moving heavy objects, lifting heavy objects, etc.

A good Example is all the old sailing ships like in The movies "Pirates of the Caribbean" used block and tackle to move and trim the sails.

This is still in use by window washers on skyscrapers to exercise machines.

What is a bandfacer ued for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A band facer is a taping machine that carries a roll of plastic for edging composite wood surfaces. Cheap furniture is often made of composite woods like K3, medite, chipboard and other particle boards. The bandfacer uses hot glue to attach the plastic band to the exposed edge of such panels.
