When you bend a sheet metal part, its thickness enlarges or the dimensions take a different value. The final size will exceed the outer dimensions of the drawing unless bending is considered. While some would describe this as the material stretching, in reality, it...
Although a sheet metal bracket is not an end-user product, it is critical for connecting components that fix, attach, hold, and support other metal parts. Sometimes brackets also serve aesthetic purposes. Therefore, metal brackets are popular in sheet metal...
Teflon often referred to as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a typical process that is used to coat metal parts to increase their life. It makes them last longer, and resist corrosion. improves functionality, and protects against wear and corrosion. DuPont’s...
The compatibility between the tolerance of individual machined parts is essential in assembly to avoid the gap and interference between them. Designers and manufacturers analyze the cumulative tolerances of parts concerning assembly fit and clearance, called...
Surface Feet Per Minute (SFM) tells the machine about the material removal rate from the work surface, quick or slow. CNC operators and engineers also recognized this term as the spindle head’s speed, which means how quickly teeth form the chips for shaping the...
