Thin is in
New ultrathin cutting wheels produce quick, clean cuts and have durability typically not associated with thin wheels
Cutting & Prep
The iron workhorse
Using an ironworker for weld prep can make a welder’s job easier and more productive
Beyond burr basics
With a new harder tungsten substrate and an optimal tooth wedge angle, these carbide burrs rise above commodity status
Food for thought
4Many manufacturing industries have to manage up and down cycles with the exception of the food production industry, which can be considered virtually recession-proof. Everybody has to eat, and most modern economies rely on processed food to feed the masses. Plenty of statistics highlight the sheer size of the food production industry. Worldwide, Research and… Continued

The importance of removing detrimental weld filler elements from the weld prior to coating
Saddle up
Pipefitters benefit from a new machine that reduces the time-consuming process of preparing pipes for oil-and-gas welds
Colossal collaborations
The Hypertherm HPRXD short torch was developed to fit HGG Profiling Equipment’s unique system design. What resulted was the creation of a shorter, non-quick disconnect torch assembly capable of proper beveling motion within HGG’s 3-D cutting chamber.
This is the End
Plasma torch consumables play an essential part in achieving a successful material cut. As the consumables within the plasma torch wear over time, however, the quality and accuracy of the finished parts is diminished. The most probable consequences of using worn consumables are out-of-tolerance production parts, resulting in costly rework, wasted material and torch damage.
The sky’s the limit
Aircraft manufacturers place passenger safety as priority No. 1 – all the way down to the prep work required for weld repairs
Better beveling
A beveling tool increases productivity when prepping pipe and plate for welding
