I'm a little odd..

A chain geek.

There's something about a smooth feeding, laser sharp chain.
You feel like you got a light saber in your hands.



This one was not that smooth, but cut pretty fast. Rakers too low for a medium power saw, but ok for heavy hitters.

Wish I had 1/4 the knowledge of some here.
I'd do something cool.

Like land on Mars

They already did that on a Hollywood Sound Stage.

What I've got so far. One of those bits is pretty much useless for porting but I got it from dad with the Dremel

I just thought we never went back cause we found out it wasn't made of cheese.

Here is a few pictures of an old decommissioned drum machine elevator thought you guys might enjoy.

Who made the wire rope?

Bet it ain't Wireco red strand or Leschen brown strand. We never made elevator rope because of the liability.

Union, Broderick & Bascomb or Colorado Fuel & Iron are some others way back when.

I was thinking that "Old" technology is really cool to see. But is it really old? After all, I see things move in a progression of improvements.

If that wire rope could talk,
it would tell you all about those wide loads it took up to the second floor!

Mike
you have tooo much time to roam the net.
That's funny

Carl, you know when I started in the elevator trade I didn't know the
difference between "wire rope" and "cable"
The largest manufacture of wire rope now is most likely Southwire.

 

[Ethan Hamby]

What's the difference? Strand count? Ductility?

 

[Jetmd]

Traction elevators use wire rope. The reason it is called wire rope it the
construction. The center core is actually hemp rope saturated with oil.
Throughout the life of the rope the hemp helps provide lubrication and
gives the rope more flexibility than solid stranded wire.

I got a couple small 325 7 pin rims
In today. Replacing ones I sold.....
That's what's happening in my saw world. ..... pretty lame. I have a big tree to remove in the church yard....
I haven't been feeling that job yet..lol

Found this in a box of goodys this evening. Wonder what it fits?

 

[Jetmd]

It goes way beyond that though. We do have stranded cable used in some applications. We have different lay configurations, strand counts, hoist ropes, governor ropes and compensation ropes.
Then it goes on to traction elevators, roped hydro's, 2:1 tractions, tractions that have double wrap drivers etc........
