Feeling the burn
A shop experiencing more wheel wear and burn after switching from one high-speed steel grade to another that reportedly offers lower grindability—requiring slower feedrates—seeks a recommendation for a wheel that won't require the shop to increase cycle time. Dr.
True Hole Technology
Two specific concerns with plasma holes are the taper and the ding or divot that is present on the interior of the hole. Both of these cut quality issues prevent a bolt from being able to pass through the hole; therefore, operators typically would have to perform secondary operations in order to improve the roundness of the hole to the point where a bolt would cleanly fit.
