Shop Operations HOW FLAME STRAIGHTENING WORKS By Tom Lipton Metals, like all materials, expand when heated. In the case of steel, it expands 0.000006" per inch per degree of temperature change. By using flame straightening, the technique of localized, intense heating, you can cause a small cross section of material to expand.

CAM It Up

CAM-based simulation is that ded- icated simulation products actually read the G code rather than relying on the output of the CAM system’s post-processor to get it right. This generates a more accurate simula- tion, he said, something that’s es- pecially important with mill/turn and other complex machines. Simulation packages do more.
