Three Doosan V8300 vertical turning lathes supplied by Mills CNC have been installed at Alcon Components

“We did a study, and it looks like about 60 percent of our floor scale weldments could fit into seven different part programs,” Koch said, “so the number of part changeovers [in a robot cell] wouldn’t be significant in the long run.”

Corrosion can affect the bond of the friction material with the steel. It can cause the friction material to detach or delaminate from the steel of the backing plate. This often happens in an area of the of the pad or line that is not protected by paint or plating. Like the brake lines, once corrosion has taken hold, there is no stopping it.

14. Brembo provides the stopping power and, boy, do they get the job done. Previous RSV4s relied upon the mighty Brembo M50 calipers to slow the beast. Now we see the 2.3-ounce lighter and mightier Brembo Stylema calipers clamping on the sizeable 330mm floating rotors. Greater stopping gains have been found in the more aggressive BRM10H brake pads. In all, Aprilia claims that the Stylema calipers offer greater cooling efficiency, which matters when you’re continually braking from triple-digit Feel at the lever is confident and strong, with a softer initial bite than the RF or RR, making them a bit more approachable.

After Bosch came and visited us at our facility, it was determined that there was both a hardware and software issue—which they remedied. You can read more about the specifics of the fix in our Bosch Flesh Detecting Saw review.

Perhaps the standout (or more appropriately, stand-up feature) of this Hitachi table saw is the fold/roll stand. It forms the bones of the saw, allows for accessory storage, houses the folded legs, allows the saw to transform into an upright cart to roll on its 8-inch all-terrain rubber wheels,  and stabilizes the upright saw for storage.

From there, it gets better with a solid fence and the best stand of the group. The miter gauge includes a metal overlay rather than plastic and features detents at common angles. (Makita uses the same one). Bosch also used metal for the foundation of their blade guard to make the connection to the riving knife more durable.

The United Company RUSAL (Moscow; https://rusal.ru), the world’s second largest aluminum company by primary production output, is trying to find new markets for aluminum powder through additive technology development. Many activities are focused on business diversification with aluminum printing. The company has its own facility for aluminum powder production and the best way to commercialize aluminum powder.

Additional Notes: This heavy saw lagged behind the rest of the full-size saw category as well as several of the more compact models in the test in both general performance and cutting power. The extra height of the 9.0 Ah battery pack keeps the saw from cutting at full depth, limiting cuts to about 2 1/4 inches (–1/8”).

2. Selling cars (as a side business) without being licensed is a breach of the Trade and Business Licensing Law, not the customs law. The DCI should be enforcing that aspect, not customs.

Pro Tip: Get into the habit of loosening your chain at the end of the day. Cold weather can cause it to tighten as it cools and damage parts.
