James Joe Dewar Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I.m quite pleased with the results I get with my FDM printer useing appropriate settings and orientating the piece on the build plate so that the "shiney side" is always on top I can achieve very decent results, But very small pieces are near impossable, things like head lights and door handles and such, I would love a little resin printer to do those sort of things especially now I've learnt from James about water soluble resin, so I'm keeping and eye on this Tiny crowd funded resin printer, Regards Joe, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Joe Dewar Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Might be worth taking a look at a Torque amplifier / multiplier, brilliant tool, certainly beats the gas torch, Regards Joe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is certainly a good tool for undoing tight wheel nuts and things , my set of tools is for getting the broken studs/bolts out of the threaded holes without hopefully damaging the threads , using the above tool on very tight/corroded bolts or studs you would stand a chance of snapping them off easily but yes that is a good tool for certain things . Thanks for sharing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Joe Dewar Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Cheers Smithy, I think the amplifier might actually remove tight nuts without breaking them as the pressure is applied very slowly, unlike a socket and long bar where it's applied very rapidly, but never haveing used one I can't actually say that for sure, Regards Joe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 left-handed drills help, after a good overnight soaking with 50/50 auto trans fluid & Acetone well shaken. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Now then Smithy, no bother at all I'm pretty sure the extractor set will get you out of trouble should you need. Like you say good drills are the key but as daft as it sounds when extracting broken studs and bolts, a left hand drill bit is a bonus as it helps loosen as you drill... But only if you have a reverse on your drill to begin with ..... But getting in to the torque multiplier that Joe mentioned, yes they great at applying pressure for loosening tight fastenings.... And also for achieving greater torque accurately for instance if you needed 500ftlbs but your torque wrench will only do 250... Then a multiplier at a normal 5.1 ratio would get you to 500 off a 100ftlb setting and remain accurate as they just a gear system with little or no torque loss through the initial pre load. AsJoe says they would apply a more steady pressure rather than a length is scaff pipe and a breaker bar but the tendancy to snap bolts off is a higher risk due to the lack of feel through the gearing of the multiplier that you can feel through a bar or a spanner....... A good soak in a diesel and parrafin mix and a bit of heat with steady pressure normally does the job without too many issues....... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
