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 ?

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.
 
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 .:)

What diameter is it and how many bolt holes/ I'll have a look tomorrow but not sure if we'll have anything

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 :D
 
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 :D )

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.

Only thing i can think of is its going to have to be made of steel , and its going to have to be hardened .

I was actually about to domesticate it, I was going to suggest I get the steel and ask Mel to stick it in a pan and pretend she was boiling an egg, it would definatley be reinforced steel when it comes out :D
 
Looks like your going to have to get that made specially I think, I was thinking of pipe flanges and there not usually so deep, we deffo won't have anything like that
