Sheet metal forming?
d
                                        Hello, can anyone tell me if sheet metal forming is a reliable process for the production of parts like this one? Not for the entire piece on the model, but only the central bar. I don’t know if forming can provide the necessary precision and structural integrity for our project. Maybe machining is more appropriate?

         Will a threaded hub and locknut hold up in a conveyor roller assembly?                    
                            
                
    
            
    hi! my project is a small conveyor assembly where the rollers need to be swapped out fairly often, depending on the material we’re running. I’m considering using an M14 threaded connection between the aluminum...        read more
