Calculator Mathematics

Blueprint Interpretation

Calculator Mathematics  DVD

This DVD takes the viewer through basic calculator Mathematics. A must view for those who are just now entering the precision sheet metal trade or for those that could use a quick refresher course.

Along with the included booklet, the student will be able to work simple formulas and perform right angle trigonometry along with the reasons why you need to be able to perform those calculations i.e.: finding missing dimensions or solving bend functions.

A great way to learn the basics!

Blueprint Interpretaton

Blueprint Interpretation

Blueprint Interpretation DVD

In this DVD the viewer is taught everything a beginning sheet metal technician needs to know about Blueprints: Where the information is located, first and third angle projections, cumulative verses baseline tolerancing.

You will learn the basics of Geometric Tolerancing  and how to apply "True Position" callouts on the shop floor. Learn about process control and charting.

A must view if quality is your goal!

Hand Measurement tools

Handtools back cover

Precision Hand Measurement Tools DVD
 
This DVD covers the fundamentals of precision hand measurement tools including: Micrometers, Squares and Blades, Calipers, Protractors and Height-Gauges

You will learn to use the different types of scales including vernier scales.

Blueprints are used to first develop the dimension values and then apply them to actually measure the parts.

A must for beginners!

The Squaring Shear DVD
 
This DVD covers the fundamentals of the squaring shear, the parts, pieces and functions.

You will learn how to properly "square a blank" and shear strips; the gauging of odd angles and the use of half-shears.

Shear safety is also covered in some detail.

Inspection and QC



Inspection and Quality Control  DVD
 
This DVD covers the basics of  "on the floor" Quality Control. Inspection techniques for the operator and quality control floor staff.

Learn to read and apply Geo-Metric Tolerancing and blueprint interpretation for quality control.

The reasons behind SPC and PCP call-outs and how that data can be used for more then just statics; trends for example

Bend Functions DVD cover

Backcover

Bend Functions DVD

This DVD covers the fundamentals of bend deduction development, K-factors, how bend deductions are calculated.

Even if you never apply these calculations on the shop floor the need to understand what happens at the point of bend cannot be understated.

When you understand what is happening with your tool selection decisions and flat pattern developments will be correct the first time.

The Press Brakes and Methods DVD cover

Backcover

The Press Brake & Methods DVD


The different types of press brakes and the different methods of forming are discussed.

Discover where the name came from, how the machine has evolved; why did we move from mechanical press brakes to hydro-mechanical to electric Learn the differences between Air-forming, Bottom bending and Coining.

Knowledge no operator should be without!

Press Brake Punches DVD Cover

Backcover

Press Brake Punches DVD

In this DVD we investigate the the different types of press brake punches (the upper tool) that are used in the press.

Learn how to properly calculate the maximum safe tonnages and learn the load limit of the press brake based on material type and method of forming.

By learning the properties of these tools and their limits, damage to the press brake, the tooling and the operator are greatly reduced.

Bottom Bending DVD Cover

Backcover

Press Brakes - Bottom Bending

Learn the secrets and dangers of bottom bending. Different then coining, bottoming has been a staple of the precision sheet metal trade.

While no longer recommended by press brake manufacturers it is still widely used. Done properly and with experience, bottom bending is a valid way to form parts. At the same time one mistake can severely damage the press brake.

An important video for the operator understand even if air-forming is the only operation being preformed.
