Machining A Custom Bronze Nut For Cleveland Valve & Gauge | April, 2019
These are adjusting nuts for a valve used on a cooling station in a power plant. The nut was custom made to match the sample delivered to Kiefer Tool by the company. Kiefer Tool took a raw piece of bronze and machined it to length, turned the thread on the inside, and using a 5-axis mill to create the spline on the outside diameter. The spline on the outside diameter of this nut is custom to this nut specifically and the acme thread on the interior diameter being one and a half pitch is also custom for its size.
