ianinsa Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hi Grant, Thats a snappy looking set-up that you have there' old but still gets a good job done, like so many of us I suppose? Do you sell tongs? to have the need for the upset die for this aplication? Sorry dumb question, I have just looked at you profile,Duh as my son would say!

double_edge2 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 nicely setup, and the next step..... and the swedish accent.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanR Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Thanks for the video Grant,it's great to see old machines put to good use. The heated bars seem to come out of the induction coil with two distinct heated areas, is the coil set up to heat two areas where the upsetting is to occur? Cheers Ian Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ian Ross Yeah, another nice thing about the induction, By varying the spacing of the turns I can get more heat in one area than another. Only use a high heat where I need it. Allows me to get a reverse gradient on the end too. You don't want the very end upsetting first and having to push that swell through the die.

forgemaster Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 hey Grant We have a little sullivan that I got tired of trying to refurbish so I stuck it in the corner of the profile-atorium (where we keep the profile cutter) you have just given me a good use for the hammer part though, (it always worked fine, it was the leather diaphram on the gripper that caused us grief). Recently picked up another upsetter from a railway quarry up north, I'll have to have a go at getting it to go. Now I have 5 upsetters comprising of 3 machines and 2 kids (they upsett their mum as they wont keep their rooms clean). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
