Spiral balance foot back from the platers.

An update on the last post I put up - they are back from the platers.

It seems that the next one I will be doing is this one.

These were fitted to Kawneer Vertical Sliding Sashes, which are the same sashes that we make the Fitch Catch for.

This one.

Spiral Balance Brackets - Shoes - Feet

These are the components that a Spiral Sash Balance
engages into - known as Shoes, Feet or Brackets.

 This is a custom job, to re-make the one you see in 
the centre of the image.

This is a good example of what can be achieved when
making replica parts.
Off to the platers today - will take another shot when
they return.

Teleflex Ratchet Handles.

Teleflex is a well known manufacturer of control gear,
which is used to operate high level windows.

One of the Teleflex handles has a ratchet on it, to allow
it to be used in a tight space.

This job was to operate Teleflex control gear, that was
mounted behind a secondary glazing panel, so extension
pieces were made to suit the distance required.

That way, the outer windows could be operated without
opening the inner panels.

Replica Hinge.

Another replica hinge job.

The customer had tried various routes to find this hinge
and ended up going around in circles.
I couldn't pin it down, either - so it was decided to copy 
one of the good ones that they had.

Machined and then barrelled.

The copy is on the left - the original hinge next to it.

Completed hinges.

Neat!

Heater Grille Slats.

Yet another unusual job!

Using a whole load of these parts, machined from Aluminium and Nylon,
put them together on lengths of threaded rod and this is what you get.

They are the grilles that go over under-floor heating pipes!
In the image above, you can just see the joint, if you look closely.
Made in three pieces, to make up a complete module of around 2800mm. 

Never a dull moment around here!! 

Plastic window keeps.

Another plastic machining job.

Crescent shaped keeps, for inward opening casement windows.

Slide stay, cut down.

There have been various projects on the go over the last few months.
 I'll come back to them over the next week or two.

This is something I have completed this morning.

Customer has some old type slide stays, where the brackets are 
welded to the frame.

These are the modern equivalent, that have had the top bar cut
down to match the fixing centres on the bracket.

These should drop straight on - a simple solution.
