As you can see, I do wear a Stedlin hat as well as a Leveleer hat. This machine allows us to make very close tolerance and fine finish parts in high volumes. The plan is to get three more at our main facility.

My Youtube channel is mostly just for fun and entertainment. It is NOT a product demonstration channel. My patent lawyers would rather I not demonstrate anything at all. In a couple of months there will be a new channel called StedlinMFG that will have product demonstrations . Have to wait...

Here is a short video showing our new production machine in action. Very close tolerance and very fast.

For the record, I have not partnered with Milton Industries. I have a NDA with them and that is all. All will be revealed in 60 days.

I recently compared the flow rate of a Menards brand Masterforce 1/4" high flow coupler and plug to a Milton H style with 1/4NPT male threaded coupler body. The Milton has a much higher pressure drop. Generally the push to connect high flow 1/4 couplers have a much cleaner internal flow path...

While wearing my "Leveleer" hat I can't give away too much information. I have another hat called "Stedlin" which will be providing all the info you are interested in plus much more but not quite yet. I am having to spend more and more time developing manufacturing technologies for the new...

I am all too familiar with that problem. I invented several different solutions to this problem and some are currently in beta testing and I have been using them myself for over a year and a half. All are patent pending and should be available in a few months. Frank

My thanks to rlitman for the detailed answer to my question.

The type that oscillates back and forth and typically takes standards sheets cut into thirds for example. Frank

Can someone explain why so many use orbital sanders for finishing flat panels instead of flat reciprocating sanders? The only real answer I've gotten so far is it is less fatiguing. Thanks Frank:dunno:

And why exactly would I want to do that exactly? Part of the testing I do when designing couplers and plugs is to find their failure points. In testing these plastic prototypes I found that I couldn't get them to fail to hold in the safe vent position at the max air pressure I can supply of...

Does that include the air tools I designed? :) Are you kidding me? That's equivalent to saying the flow rate from an orifice is independent of the upstream pipe size.

This video shows one of my prototype all plastic safety couplers being disconnected from a large framing nailer at 120 PSI. I find that large framing nailers release air faster then anything else so they make for a worst case scenario.

You mean Nomura cam machines? Update: I'm guessing you mean CNC since I think they stopped making cam machines. I once had a Nomura cam cutting fixture in my shop around 1973 and since then I think I always associated them with cam machines.

I know the Tsugami's kill the Stars but at the time the Star was less then half the price. My production manager in Houston swears by the Tsugami's as well. I visited Tsugami in Japan in 1985 and was very impressed.

A bit off topic: Dan Murphy formerly of REM sales tried his best to sell me some Tsugami's back when I was in Houston but failed (I bought Star SV20's instead. Now that I bought a Tornos I found out that he is now the General Manager of the Minneapolis company I bought the Tornos from. My...

The coupler that I demo in the youtube videos is not going to be available any time soon. That design was primarily an experiment to see what kind of performance I could achieve with a plug of my own design. It is incredibly easy to connect and disconnect just as shown in the video but I feel...

Haas St10Y I bought it used because it was cheap but it gets the job done eventually. I just bought a Tornos GT-32 CNC swiss with magazine loading 12 foot barfeed for production. Frank

For me, a properly designed system utilizing quick disconnect compressed air couplings includes couplings and plugs designed to be quietly disconnected under pressure and that's what I have.
