![]() Plasma Cutting TableThe flagship of the fleet: Shop Sabre Sidekick, Customized by Real Mechanical, Inc. In the office: (2) Microsoft Windows Based Computers running BobCad24, WinCNC, and Adobe Illustrator. Plasma in action!Did you know?The plasma cutting system we use allows for a full sheet of material, 4 feet wide and 8 feet long. Thats a full 48" x 96", covering 32 square feet.Steel Talking PointsWhat is Mild Steel? Mild steel contains 0.16–0.29% carbon, and comes in a variety of sizes. At OregonCNC we prefer to use PO (pickled and oiled),
which is hot rolled, but instantaneously protected from rusting by
receiving a bath of pickle juice, followed by an oil bath. The
resultant product is cleaner, and more attractive than normal hot rolled
steel, which has a high content of scale on the surface. On the other
end of the spectrum is cold rolled steel. Cold rolled steel is
processed below the re-crystallization point of iron, versus the hot
rolled, which is rolled above the temperature of re-crystallization.
99% of the stock at a steel yard is hot rolled, cold rolled steel is
only special order due to the ease of oxidation. To learn more, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_rolled_steel Computer LingoWhat are Vector Images? Vector images use mathematical equations
to define each component of an image. This allows vector images to
retain their high-quality at any size. When possible, use vector
graphics created in a desktop publishing program. What are Raster Images? Upload ProceduresFor proper procurement of drawings: Most favored method for file transfer is to send Sales@OregonCNC.com the following file format for review: .dxf (drawing exchange format). .dwg (Autocad) .sldprt (Solidworks) .3dm (Rhinocad) .x_t and .x_b (Parasolid) .iges .tep .stl .sat .cad .ai Flamed Patina
The Process of Flame
Its
more than taking just a torch to metal. At OregonCNC.com we are constantly
trying-experimenting with chemicals and different acids along with varying
temperatures to achieve a "special" look. Adjusting tip sizes, gas
mixtures, and oven temperatures all have different outcomes of which we study,
document, and therefore recreate with a great success. Each item produced in
the Flame Department has unique characteristics of its own, producing a slight
variance from others. No two are alike; art never should be copied exactly. Art
should be protected, that is why OregonCNC.com uses a special clear coat that
prevents UV damage and helps protect against the elements Hand PaintingProfessional Paints and a Professional PainterOregonCNC.com believes in only high quality materials, paints, and people. Before the plasma machine is ever turned on, we ensure the materials meet our stringent requirements: free from scratches, grime, kinks and oxidation. After the plasma cut, the metal then goes into a cleaning process that ensures the following paint will bind and etch properly into the sub-surface of the metal. OregonCNC.com uses only the highest quality American Made paints and primers. Not only do we implore high quality materials, craftsmanship and ingenuity we believe in a high quality environment in which we work and live. |
