A few of our recent projects. CPVC PIPE fl**ge adapter with concentric gasket rings, support columns for a new construction house, a stand to support some piece of equipment for the plating industry, and one of the most random ones....a brand new aging cask for Defiant whiskey. One of the stave holders that hold the charred white oak barrel staves inside the cask had broken off during shipment from the company in California who make these. We brought the cask to our shop, welded it back into place, polished the weld and delivered it back to Blueridge Distillery Which saved them and Modern Cooperage both a lot of hassle and headaches.

It's not often we're called on to make a gear here at K&L Machine. This is only about the 7th or 8th one I've ever cut in my entire career. But, a neighbor had a small crane that had a bad swing gear that he couldn't source anywhere.... initially I wasn't even sure we could do it with the equipment we have....but I put on my thinking cap and started working it out....96 cuts later this is what we ended up with. Our neighbor was just as happy as he could be.

Here's a project we recently finished. These are tank lids for electroplating tanks. These were a job to do because of their size. Our EZ -Trak has a 48" table and 30" of x travel...the parts were 60" long....needless to say it took a lot of setups, lots of relocating, and lots of attention to keep everything on track. Come see us for all of your machining, welding, and plastic welding needs.

This is just a test weld on some scrap PVC plastic that I did since I'd never welded this material before. The welds on my parts look better than the test piece, but it honestly never ceases to amaze me how strong these plastic welds are. Before I became familiar with the plastic welding process I never imagined I'd ever say this, but, I honestly wouldn't have an issue with trusting life and limb to a plastic weld that is done correctly.

Ordinarily I'm not crazy about running two machines at the same time. I realize every bean counter who reads this is going to gasp at that statement, but sometimes less is more. Doesn't matter if it's me or someone working for me....I just don't like it usually. That being said, today is a bit different.... today I have both the Wells-Index and the EZ -Trak running and it's working like clockwork....the programs and set ups are working perfectly, so no need to waste time babysitting either one of them.

Finished this project a couple days ago and in the process I finally found a good use for this extra thick tap magic tapping oil I bought many years ago and then didn't like. This stuff is SOOOOO MESSY!!! But... I found out on this job that it works fantastic on titanium, which is one of the toughest materials I've ever tapped with the exception of beryllium-copper alloy. We had several 16 hour days on this project to get it done in the timeframe that our customer needed, but when we give our word that it'll be done by a certain date, we do whatever we have to to make that happen. Our word still means something here at K&L Machine and Welding Once again, a big thanks to Kim Phillips for understanding that I had to be in the shop so much for the past week.

As I was working today it struck me that I really need to give a big shout out to my awesome wife Kim Phillips for understanding when the business requires that I be up here in the shop on a Saturday and Sunday both.... especially since she's just had a knee replacement and really isn't anywhere near 100% recovered. Thanks for understanding Kim... you're the best a guy could ever ask for! 😁
