Shop FU for the day!!

[Ironhorse]

Moving this back by the dake and it kinda fell off the pallet jack...and I will just deal with this in the morning...thank god that it is a thick granite plate, and not a scratch on the dake...

 

[BearCuda]

What is that?

 

[senor fozz]

Is it a very small inspection table?

 

[bullnerd]

Ooohh...lets guess..dont tell us.

Well we know its a granite surface plate?

I'll guess your using it for a shot bag ?

Whos next?

 

[BearCuda]

I was gonna say its a solid stock of some type of metal before being milled but upon zoom in, it looks like it has a welded seam around the bottom.

 

[HotrodHR]

He said it's a "dake" c'mon get with the program...

 

[BearCuda]

He didn't say it WAS a Dake. Said he was moving it "back by the Dake"
Btw-- what's a Dake?

I stand corrected, you're absolutely right! Darn dakes they're everywhere... Haven't found a use for them though...

 

[steel 35]

I come from the land of drakes, but we very rairly see them dakes.

 

[P Dubya]

Maybe I'm a bit daft here but I think Dake is a brand name of hydraulic press...

 

[Denwad]

dake is a manufacturer of high quality hydraulic presses

They make a pretty good non-hyraulic press as well. Almost as good as my Greenerd Keith

If not, someone's likely going to be. Actually, that would be a pretty good use for an old beat up plate. Ive seen many that were repurposed for measuring scope bases.

I see said the blind man.

 

[BearCuda]

I still don't know what the hell I'm looking at.

 

[Kevin54]

DAKE can be an arbor press, it can be a hydraulic press, or it can be a cold saw.

But in all my life working in machine shops and working around Inspection, I have never seen a round surface plate like that.

 

[Fueler]

Short round pieces like that are called "Drops" in the metal industry therefore............

 

[bullnerd]

I agree ,but now that I look again the stand looks a little light to be beatin on.

 

[smschriefer]

I believe the Dake is the off white thing above the DoAll item in the picture. He said he was lucky and it didn't scratch the Dake. I still have no idea what the DoAll piece is. My only thought was it is band saw blade material for a DoAll that welds its own blades. No idea as I haven't actually seen a DoAll in person.

 

[Kevin54]

The round piece is what dropped off of the stand. It is a round granite surface plate.

The DAKE it the piece of machinery at the top of the picture, which is more than likely a DAKE saw.

The stand at the bottom of the picture is the stand for the round granite surface plate. The DAKE at the top of the picture and the round surface plate have nothing to do with one another at all.

To the purple dog.

 

[dawgee]

ive never seen a round surface plate either pretty cool the square ones are boring. but then again ive only been a toolmaker for 29 years

 

[MScott]

DoAll is a Canadian company that does metal fabrication so the item on the floor might be a fabricated part. I see no sign of a granite slab. OP does not have his location shown so we can get no clue from that. I'm beginning to think we have all been sucked in.

Actually I think in this case DoALL is the American saw making company. Notice the DoALL emblem with the globe behind it.

[Kevin54]

DoAll makes surface plates also. I have a set of DoAll gage blocks in my toolbox. The round piece on the floor is a chunk of granite.

Why would the OP try to sucker anyone in by saying what he did


Some DoAll surface plates

 

[dawgee]

Kevin that bottom one could use a good polishing lol

 

[icenfire01]

It took a little google-fu, but I think I found something similar...

[bullnerd]

Hang in there Kev! Your keeping me from a lot of typing! LOL.

Come on OP, splain it! Everyone is too confused to guess.

Its either a bag or the cover for the granite.

 

[sxk122]

in for updates because I'm so lost and confused I can't stand it!

 

[Deadhead]

AS KEVIN HAS TRIED TO EXPLAIN, THE ROUND PIECE IN THE FLOOR IS A GRANITE SURFACE PLATE. IT FELL OFF OF THE STAND IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PICTURE WHILE HE WAS MOVING IT. IT IS GROUND PERFECTLY FLAT TO MEASURE PARTS WITH A HEIGHT INDICATOR (SUCH AS A DIAL/DIGITAL INDICATOR OR CMM) OR YOU CAN CHECK PARTS FOR FLATNESS AND PARALLELISM.

I have seen one round one before but it was 4-5 inches thick.
The machine shop I worked at had one that was 4ft x 4ft and was 10 - 12 inches thick.

How thick is that round one you have and what diameter is that and lastly....
How in the hell are you going to pick that up and get it back on the stand.

I still cant believe that did not break.
Best of luck to you and remember lift with your legs... not your back.

 

[Kevin54]

Oh good Lord!!!!

 

[dawgee]

Kevin you are awesome lol

 

[bcradio]

Where's the one post wonder?

 

[bullnerd]

Where's the one post wonder?

Exactly.

I still dont think thats the cover. I'm sticking with shot bag.
