Does anyone know if you could just put the entire piece to be molded into water @ specific temperature and then apply it to the mold? Or will crack on cool down?

I am trying to thermoform a sheet of pc 6mm thick to form a roughly 80mm OD half pipe. So far mixed results. If I over heat bubbling occurs. I have to figure out some kind of a jig. Temperature control. Prior drying of pc sheets. Etc. Not easy to get a reliable repeatable product.

Been trying to do a pc .17 inch at least car roof and wondering if a heat gun ,little by little, will work in shaping it while the top is still on the car.... ???
Nice video buddy. How many mm is your sheet? Do you think for 1 or 2mm thickness I could get away with a home hairdryer or do I need equipment as the one you are using ? Thanks, Stavros

Just to make things seem even more awesome, the Goodell Brothers company (which later became the Goodell Pratt company, and was merged into Millers Falls in 1931) built a ratcheting screwdriver as early as 1891. I have a magnificent No. 111, with a patent dating 1908: www.oldtoolheaven.com/related/goodell-pratt-screwdrivers.htm It's also worth noting, as Paul H mentions below, that you can now find adaptors for these screwdrivers to enable the use of modern hex bits, so now there's no excuse to continue using electric screwdrivers ;) In case anyone's interested, the ones designed to fit the Stanley "Yankee" screwdrivers should also fit these models, even though the Stanley ones are notched; you just have to know the shank size of your model (5.5 mm 7 mm or 8 mm).

No, unfortunately polycarbonate does not have the same "healing" qualities of plexiglass. You would get bubbles before it smoothed over. The trade off is it's much more durable because of the malleability.

Great summary of the Millers Falls tool. I was reminded that I had one of these hand-me-down gems when I received a "Garrett Wade" catalog yesterday. They are proffering, at $130, a reproduction"Yankee"-style driver, but the build quality obviously doesn't even come close to a vintage tool like the one made by Millers falls. Maybe I'll start putting this thing to use. I see Apex Tools makes a variety of bit adapters in the 9/32" diameter size of the Model 610A, and there are other economical versions of adapters out there.

Thank you for posting this. I would like to thermoform something a little more complex than that (shroud inside of a headlight). It looks like the PC has to be held in place during cooling to maintain the new shape. If you had something that looked a little more like a mountain range and you laid the plastic over the top of it and heated it more, would it form to the mountain range or just sort of sag and create a warped sheet?
@Mallrat79
4 жыл бұрын
If you did a mountain range type shape, you'd have to use thin PC, maybe thinner than .063, make a vaccum table, and drill holes in the valleys of the mold. I'm sure there's a video on making a DIY vacuum table somewhere.
