Well, thank you all for giving me your views and the benefit of you experiences - this is really helpful.
I'm pretty new to the job, and I certainly don't want to upset him - but I do want to make things safe and I find as soon as you declare safe areas in a workshop, the standards start...
Hello all,
I've been given the task of carrying out the above job, I have a clean workshop floor as my canvas. Trouble is, my Line Manager wants in on the task and has come up with what I think is a silly idea, that's to mark out 'safe areas' around the machine tools, where you don't need to...
I could seal it with a stainless steel bolt. I didn't know I'd have to rotate the magnet to get the plug out, why's that? Can't I just make the plug so that it will pull out?
Thanks,

Hi guys, thanks for the links - haven't looked at them in great detail yet but I will do, they look good to me.
Tmoose, it's a plug for the back of a magnetically coupled impeller drive that's being used with slurry. Solids build up in the magnet and I want to stop that by plugging it. The bit...
Hello all,
Well, what a great place this is.
I did a level 3 City & Guilds course in Mechanical Production Engineering years and years ago and I'm trying to remember how to work out a press fit dimension for a plug.
The plug will be made out of PTFE and fit a hole of 41.5mm.
I remember bits...
