Tap drills come in different sizes to fit various standard threads available. However, you can always get the right size for your thread by using simple formulas. You can calculate the tapping drill size for metric threads by taking the thread’s diameter minus the pitch. The tapping drill size for the imperial thread is calculated … Read more
A radial drill machine is a specially designed drilling machine that is used for making medium to large holes and other heavy workpieces. The machine drill holes in a given radial distance. However, since heavy jobs can’t move easily, the machine is specially made so that the tool in radial drilling machine moves any part … Read more
Since the introduction of LED technology, it has become the number one option for energy efficiency and durability. Therefore, replacing your traditional light bulbs saves you a lot on electricity lighting bills. For instance, if you are running LED bulb with10 watts for 5 hours daily, it will cost $0.10 per kWh. The annual fee … Read more
Typically, an electricity source, like a battery, can provide electrical energy to the circuit. A circuit is usually a closed-loop in which electrons can pass in. No electrons will move unless your circuit is complete, thus making a full circle back to your electrical source. Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s rules are the greatest basics laws … Read more
The solid-state power supply, also known as electric power converters, are electrical devices that normally supply electric power to an electrical load. Its main function is to convert electric current from a certain source to the right current, frequency, and voltage to power the load. Conversely, a normal transformer power supply is an AC-to-AC converter … Read more
A DC generator operates based on the working principle of Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic induction. According to Faraday’s law, whenever a conductor is located in a dynamic magnetic field, an electromotive force gets induced in the conductor. The induced electromotive force (emf) is measured via the emf equation of the DC generator. When the conductor … Read more
A starter generator is a consolidation of two distinct engine elements that are majorly found in garden tractors, aircraft, and lawn tractors. Its starting system is almost similar to the direct cranking electrical system. After functioning as a starter, they consist of the second series of winding that enables it to switch to a generator … Read more
A hammer or roto drill is used for drilling holes on hard surfaces. The device uses two motions while making holes in rigid materials such as concrete or bricks. The first motion happens when the drill part on the tool spins, drilling down and eventually making a material hole. In comparison, the other action is … Read more
DeWalt drill chucks are for one specific purpose: to hold the drill in position and fend off slipping. Recent modifications have omitted the use of chuck keys. If a cordless drill chuck is stuck open, check the chucks and the gear cases. It could be an easy problem you can solve on your own in … Read more
Flux is used to clean metals to be joined by removing any oxidation and preventing any from forming. It removes surface oxides, grit, and grime from metal surfaces. Therefore, flux improves inter-metallic bonds’ quality; thus, it is necessary for soldering to be effective. It is best to use flux with rosin core solder when soldering … Read more
