Inspection Workholding: Simply Perfect

Keep it simple. More often than not it turns out to be the best course of action in life and on factory floors. Take, for example, Gleason LeCount Expanding Mandrels.

The Lubrication of Gears - Part II

What follows is Part 2 of a three-part article covering the principles of gear lubrication.

An equation for Blok's flash temperature, which is used for predicting the risk of scuffing, is also given.
