I work for an electronics manufacture. Our end product is on PCBAs. My question is related to the use of safety glasses, which I know are required when doing rework. But here is the question: We ordered side shields for prescription glasses. Wha

Plastic of any kind for compressed air is a code violation here. It's not just the pressure, it's the durability. PVC is pretty brittle and if you smack it with a pallet jack it's a lot more likely to shatter and generate high speed shrapnel than cop

+1 Think lowest priced cellphone, audio mixer, handheld GPS, programmable universal remote, PDA, etc., that has every possible feature and does everything except mix your drink for you, crammed into that cheap crappy plastic molded case that shatter

Ever been in one of those "rolling boombox" with the thumping bass shattering every windows a mile around? Those should be illegal, if only for the fact that the brains of the occupants is turned to jelly by the decibel levels. But my point was usin

Thanks Dave, I thought it tasted different - I just put it down to having not travelled well. I'm off to find some Trappist Westvleteren 12. I would ask if there is anything you don't know, but I don't want my illusions (or delusions!) of your o

We Have 3 Vitronics XPM2's. I know nothing about any other manufacturer, but Vitronics has been extremely reliable. 2 Shifts 5 days a week for 6 years, and have never replaced a blower. Have had to change a few overtemp switches, and have had a fe

On our new shop we used iron pipe in the walls and attic and copper ever where else that can be easily accessed. I saw a pvc material at a trade show years ago that was rated for air lines. With their demo material they could fold it and drive nails
