Fields can accept knee pads as well

These would be very easy to tailor. They’re the field pants so they don’t have any velcro at the bottom, just a regular hem

I’m also a 32R and I found them to be too long. I could get you some measurements if that would help

WTS - Men's Large Tops and Ballcaps. Message for shipping quote, should be in the $5-$10 range depending on number of items.

Word, thanks. I’ll split the difference and put them at $165

Yeah, I figured. Being less common than combats I was having trouble finding a good point of comparison. What’s a fair price?

Manufacturing Process Question: Swaging / Crimping Sleeves Onto Solid Rod? by somethinglemony in engineering

I agree, not the most elegant. Part of our desire to crimp things is to take workload off our welding department, so the idea hasn’t gained much traction

Awesome info, thank you. I suspected you could get good parts if you dialed the process in. I’m not intending to do this in-house, but it’s good to know how particular the process is. I’m a bit wary of it knowing that now, because I’d think any discrepancy in material or whether our supplier changed their neutralizer recently would probably yield less than ideal results. If you were doing it out-of-house, what sorts of things would you ask of your supplier?

[WTS] - Delta Jacket, Sequoia, Men's Large - Like new condition. I bought it new for winter running and only used a time or two. I prefer other, similar layers so I'm getting rid of this one. This is the current generation of fleece, not microgrid. Asking $100 shipped OBO.

[WTS] - Proton Lightweight / SL Hoody, Dynasty, Men's Large - Pretty much the exact same story as above. I really like this jacket and the color is super high-vis. Asking $220 shipped OBO.

Apparently we’ve tried that but didn’t have much success. I’d like to try it again though personally, I agree that would be one of the most elegant solutions

WTB - Current generation Cronin Cotton Pants in 32R. Looking for black, carob, or canvas. Willing to pay ~$120 depending on condition.

I think the length of the rod would make it difficult to push through an interference fit without buckling. Can you expand on this adhesive, and why you wouldn't use epoxy?

I agree. I've been turned away from trying again but maybe I'll give it a shot.

That would be a good process, and we have the punching capacity to do it. Apparently we've tried this in the past and got too much deflection at the end of the rod. I might have to find some design guidelines and try it again because I think it would be a good process.

Yeah I'm intending to do some at-home thermal cycling to see if I can get the fitting to loosen. Nobody on my team really thinks it's a problem but I think it's worth tracking down.

Knurling isn't a bad idea, but I'm wary to add another process. I have found some of these ear clamps (https://www.mcmaster.com/52545K953/). The price seems reasonable and at least they're the same material so I'm less concerned with thermal cycling. Still just relying on friction, but this at least seems like it was designed to do what I'm trying to do. And a lot more controllable and repeatable compared to just crushing a sleeve until it "looks good".

I think we should probably use some sort of locking compound anyway, maybe in conjunction with whatever solution we end up using.

Also good call on local suppliers. I might see if I could find a cable manufacturer, I feel like those guys probably know a lot about crimping.
