    Accuracy of Isocircles

    Given a cube with inscribe circles on each of the faces, prove the isocircle function of AutoCAD produces a true presentation if the cube is viewed an isometric view. I tried to prove this by rotating a square with a inscribe circle along a hinge (segment bc) which would be the right vertical...

    Connecting from NEMA L16-30P to NEMA 5-10R

    I did not understand connecting a hot to a neutral. I thought a hot had to be connected to a hot and a neutral to a neutral. But I did not get that from the user manual or this forum. It took me calling miller several times after my original post but the rep was very clear and I just wanted to...

    Connecting from NEMA L16-30P to NEMA 5-10R

    Correction Nema 5-20r. My question was answered after the fact and I wanted to share the solution.

    Connecting from NEMA L16-30P to NEMA 5-10R

    I understand connecting the four wires for three phase and leaving the red isolated for single phase but a nema 5-10r receptacle has a hot, a neutral, and a ground and the machine did not have a neutral wire but miller tells me isolate the red and to hook up the green to the ground. And then...

    Connecting from NEMA L16-30P to NEMA 5-10R

    The manufacture also has another page which helps explain but this page refers to it as auto-technology. Auto-Line keeps the out put voltage constant while auto link allows the changing between input voltages. See link: http://www.millerwelds.com/swf/swf.php?swf=Auto_Link_Web.swf...

    Connecting from NEMA L16-30P to NEMA 5-10R

    The manufacture calls it auto-line technology. It uses a boost converter. The machine is made and designed for this type of conversion. It is designed to run from various voltages and single or three phase as long as it is wired properly according to the supply input used. See link at...

    Connecting from NEMA L16-30P to NEMA 5-10R

    I am only changing the plug on the welder to plug into a 120v NEMA 5-20R (see attached file) elsewhere. I am not trying to reconfigure any power sources. The wiring question is for rewiring a new plug not for rewiring the power source. also see photo in my previous reply...

    Connecting from NEMA L16-30P to NEMA 5-10R

    From my understanding I isolate the L3 Red wire to make it single phase, run the L1 black to the Netrual of the NEMA 5-20P run the L2 to the hot wire of the 5-20P and the G is run to the ground of the 5-20P...

    Connecting from NEMA L16-30P to NEMA 5-10R

    I have a welding machine which runs off of 460 volt 3 phase power and has a cord with a NEMA L16-30P. The machine has a constant voltage concerter so I was told I could automatically plug into a different voltage as long as it was the same phase power and to change phase I just would isolate the...

    Maching Bar Stock Fittings

    Forging — The process of working metal to a desired shape by impact or pressure in hammers, forging machines (upsetters), presses, rolls, and related forming equipment Is bar stock made from the above definition?

    Maching Bar Stock Fittings

    Is the concern in machining or in using bar stock? If bar stock is the concern what is allowed. Isn't bar stock forged stock that has been turned. Isn't all stock other than cast forged in some way? What is the concern?

    Maching Bar Stock Fittings

    Here ist the excerpt pasted from astm B366 "B366 S5. Bar Stock Fittings S5.1 Fittings machined from solid bar stock are not permitted."

    Forging Definitions

    Is forging stock that is used for/prior to forging, or is forging stock material that is ideal for forging and has already been forged?

    Maching Bar Stock Fittings

    btrueblood, Does this mean the fittings must be completely forged including the socket bore in socket fittings, or can it be forged and the socket depth be machined/bored out? If forged does b366 -s5.1 mean that a final finish can not be obtained by machining?

    Forging Definitions

    What is the difference in "steel for forging stock" and "steel bars, Hot wrought and Cold Finished"?

    Maching Bar Stock Fittings

    What concern does astm b366 -s5.1 have with maching fittings from bar stock? or why would the end user want to invoke this as a requirment?

    Maching Bar Stock Fittings

    If Astm B366 -S5.1 is required by the end user, then what is the concern: Does this include both boring the I.D. and turning the O.D., or is maching prohibited with no exception? What is the concern in fitting machined from bar stock and how does it differ from which are forged?
