Question For Engineers/Metal Workers

I want a flange/pipe thing made to a specific size. The most similar thing I can find is one in the picture attached,but I would want the pipe part to be thicker metal. Would I be able to go anywhere locally and ask them to make me one ?

Re: Question For Engineers/Metal Workers

I used to use this firm

Jig Boring Services Ltd
Ordnance Street
Blackburn
Lancashire
BB1 3AE
United Kingdom

Telephone: 01254 680143
Fax: 01254 681435

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the owner at the moment. It will come back to me. Give them a call. Always good quality from them. He will make you anything from a fag packet sketch.

Try K Supplies (Harwood St blackburn - Nr Tesco), they might have what you want in stock if its a standard size or do you need something making to your own spec?

I think I might have to have something made because of the bolt holes, I need them to be in the same place as the part thats on now. Will try them first and see if they have anything to match though. Cheers.

Re: Question For Engineers/Metal Workers

you need to take a drawing with sizes and thickness and bolt holes dia and positions , or you could take the old part to measure of if there is one . also tell them which material you want it made from .

Yuk I quoted my self.

Ask for Terry ( Winstanley ). If you have the old part he will copy if for you - don't forget to mention what is wrong with it or you will have two faulty parts

Re: Question For Engineers/Metal Workers

Hopefully with the help of the attached photos I'll explain it better.

In the first photo you can see that the white part with the upright is a single cast piece, that holds the silver post, ( the post is attached to a heat press so theres a lot of weight there ).

As you can see in the second photo the part has literally snapped ( I didn't realise how strong I was )

My idea is that if I get a piece made with the flange and a bigger upright I can just slot the upright piece in to it and it should do the job.

Any further advice is most welcome and cheers for the help so far.
