Using current up-to-date Draftsight (free version). Not sure if its a boundary issue or not, but when I'm zoomed in to where the part is taking up the whole window my hatch marks are perfect. Then, if I zoom out to a certain point they go nuts and cover the part. Not quite sure why its doing...

Thanks for the suggestions! Those quick-release nuts are really cool. I didn't even these existed. After reading your response the light bulb over my head came on finally. Do you or anyone else on here know if there something like this exists for industrial application? All I...
Brief explanation: I've been tasked with designing a quicker means of disconnecting the headers on our acid scrubber. Currently the headers are attached to the unit with a rectangular flange made of polypropylene and has about 16+ nut/bolt sets fastening each one on. The header pipe and...
I'm still learning about the different material properties but as far as I know the majority of the stainless plates we work with are not magnetic. I know some grades in the 400 series are but we run a lot of 300 series that's not. But, do the properties of the steel change after being...
edstainless, you're right that was my mistake on wording. There will be restriction on anything being added to the path of the water flow. I'll look into the screens you spoke of, thanks for the tip.
btrueblood, that sounds like a really good idea for when we're purchasing the next plasma...
Our stainless steel mill has a ESAB plasma table for cutting down stainless plates to spec for customers. The table was poorly engineered in many people's opinions. The table has a false bottom with a "bladder" beneath it. When the operator begins cutting and the system calls for water to...
kumkumvijay,
Thank you for that information that will defined some good points to bring up and look closer at. I had a feeling about the bottom spray possibly not being adequate because of the effect with gravity but also I believe one of the engineers attempted to turn down the water valve...
Just joined this forum hoping to get some input from someone who has some experience about this topic. Brief intro, I am a mechanical manufacturing engineer co-op at a stainless steel mill. I work in the hot plate area where we get plates from the melt area already rolled and cut into sections...
