PEMSERT self-clinching flush nuts are ideal for applications where a thin metal sheet requires load-bearing threads stronger than tapped holes but cannot have any protrusions on either side of the sheet. They can be installed before sheet bending and forming to provide threads for mating hardware in sections that otherwise would be inaccessible after forming.

JM Performance Products’ Clamp Force Gage provides shops with a quick and inexpensive method to check the clamping/pulling force of spindle drawbars. The hydraulic gage instantly reads in ft./lbs. the amount of pull force being applied to the toolholder. Once the drawbar force drops below 80 percent of the original manufacturer’s setting, it’s time to schedule maintenance.

Cubic Boron Nitride abrasive, part of the Flex-Hone line, combines the highest hardness with excellent toughness to provide the optimum surface finish in materials like Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Hasteloy, Invar and Rene. Flex-Honing is a low pressure, low temperature abrasive finishing process making it an ideal solution in these difficult to finish materials. The tool reduces the work-hardened layer produced by machining operations without imparting thermally induced distortion. The resulting surface is less prone to oxidation and stress induced cracking. Sizes from 4mm to 20mm are standard in three different mesh sizes.

Horizontally mount your welding tabletop to the BuildPro Rotary Positioner for plane rotation of your welding tabletop. The gear driven free-turning mechanism allows for smooth operation, superior stability and controlled turning and positioning at precise 15 degree increments with positive manual locking. The new adjustment plates help shift the center of gravity when working with tall or heavy parts for smoother rotation of assemblies up to 90 degrees from horizontal. Lower the tabletop position, as required for each unique project, at 1 in. increments. The new adjustable outriggers allow greater stability when working with taller assemblies and can be retracted when not required.
