Dec 21, 2007 · Meehanite is a practical quality assurance system, geared to the advancement of casting standards. Meehanite Foundry Process re-engineering increases productivity and efficiency within the foundry organisation. The Meehanite Process pervades all aspects of castings production to create a TOTAL manufacturing system.

Nov 6, 2015 · What grade/type of cast iron are the old milling machines made of? So I thought the answer would be simple: Meehanite. But when I read up on meehanite I found that it is a trademark process under when about a dozen types/grades are cast. Also this is about impossible to google or forum search.

Oct 16, 2008 · Meehanite is not a type of iron, it is a type of foundry process. Many iron alloys are used with the meehanite process. K405 is a high strength, high wear alloy. 140,000 psi yield. Tough stuff. I've never worked with it, but imagine carbide tooling is the way to go.

May 28, 2007 · Meehanite is a foundry process. Many different alloys may be used in the meehanite process, so saying a mold is meehanite doesn't narrow things down much. More likely it is malleable (sp?) iron.

Nov 6, 2007 · I've got a new NEI 4 cavity .45 Meehanite mold that I'd like to remove .040" from the top surface to reduce bullet weight. The top surface is 1-1/2" x 3". The three webs between the four .451" cavities run .114"-.145" I was thinking about doing it on my Bridgeport using a 2" 4 tooth indexable carbide cutter, but am concerned with chipping the edges of the bullet cavities. …

Jul 30, 2008 · To add: it's a process for continuously cast-iron: they extrude the hot iron through water cooled dies, at a rate that the core temperature softens the skin past the dies, so the whole part cools uniformly, and without hard spots. It's basically billet Meehanite Versa-Bar is another vendor of the same material.

Jun 18, 2010 · I have a 1988 Supermax YCM 2G mill, and I need some parts for it. Does anyone have a good source for a manual, and parts? Thanks for the help!

Oct 26, 2001 · LOL, cause it was FREE!!! Had a big pile of junk donated to the museum a few years back. In the pile was a 12x18" or so Taft-Pierce cast iron surface plate (probably 90-100yrs old). Main advantage is that they are lighter than solid granite of similar dimensions and the magnetic quality can be a plus. The smaller ones like at work have threaded holes in the sides …
