I want to get my stock door panel retainers chromed to look similar to these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ADME:B:LC:MT:1
Where would I go?

Or just "plating". Where are you from? Royal Silver in Norfolk VA is one of the best in the US.

In reality, if you act in the next 4 hrs on that e-bay auction, you'll come out WAY ahead than if you tried getting your parts chromed.
99% of the time, new and sometimes even good NOS stuff is cheaper than re-chroming. |

I think that is the only exclusion to what I said.
I had a connection for a chrome shop, but h kid just up and joined the marines the other day. Huge bummer. He was gonna get my GMC grill prepped and dipped for 100 bucks. ![]() |

heres a little shop tip ///===if your going to have parts plated by a plating shop,theres gonna be what appear to be a few[small] marks on your parts when you get them back that didnt "plate up" . These are called "racking marks",this is where they hold on to the part while dipping your part into the different plating tanks.Pick an area on your part that wont be easily seen after its installed,and tell the plater that "racking marks are acceptable" in that area.you'll thank yourself later.these "racking marks" are only about the size of a slotted screwdriver tip,,but when they're staring you in the face,they're really noticable...

I don't know about the "industry", but a friend of mine owns a chrome shop and he has sense enough to know what shows and what doesn't. I am pretty sure that's what Randy was talking about.

![]() As a matter of fact, if the VARIAN you speak of is the Oncology equipment manufacturer (radiology/cancer treatment equipment), then I too have done work for them ... and agree you do have a valid point about "rack marks" when speaking of industrial plating techniques. But, I believe Randy was referring to automotive plating (grilles, trim, wheels, brightwork, etc) ... which any bonehead with common sense will know which side is which when it comes to brightwork plating. ![]() BTW - C10Crazy ... email me, I have a really really good connection for chrome plating at Graves Plating ... and they DO know how to rack 'em as to NOT show marks! ![]() Last edited by Shane; 07-06-2003 at 08:03 PM. |

checking diameters
we have gauge pins that have a .0001 graduation....ie- .030, .0301, .0302..also to make sure the diameter remains in tolerance throughout the entire length of the hole we have a computorized zeiss...we had to buy this machine to check parts,or hewlett-packard wouldnt give us certain jobs,,,,,the second pic is a "waveguide" we make for them, its solid copper ,except for a couple of threaded hole,& counter bores, most of the holes are about .020 in diameter

Hey Jeff,
No apology needed for me either. I re-read my post and realized I sounded like I was attacking you personally ... that wasnt my intent ... I apologize as well if this is how it was taken. The Zeiss is very very nice line of equipment, high quality and a very good name ... unfortunately for me, I compete against them with the Brown & Sharpe line of CMM's ... I wish we could represent the Zeiss line. ![]() |

cnc machines
we have mostly KITAMURAS, 5 kitamura pallet changers, 1- mycenter2x [the pallets rotate c'clockwise ], 5-my1's, 5-my3's. We have 5-kitamura 4th axis's w/tailstocks for "A"axis work.3-Hardinge Ultra Precision CNC Lathes. 3-DMG CNC 5-AXIS machines.We sometimes use "REINSHAW PROBING"- in the middle of the cnc program,to re-adjust the table location,for temperature deviation in the shop.....I've linked my shops website,,,so check it out some time,theres some short mpg's & pics,,oh,we also have a couple of "HAAS" indexing heads.

another CMM inspection machine
this is an optical-cmm w/probing. With this machine i can set the part i want to check,ANYWHERE on the glass surface,and it establish's the datumn's by itself.It can check the surface finish,check radius size,champher sizes,hole diameters,depth's,and wall locations,and it will give me a paper printout telling me any deviation from the blueprint dimensions,,,, check out the website, jeff

Looks like you could build just about anything with that equipment, I seen a truck the other day and top rail around the door glass was chromed how do they do that?, just dip the door deep enough to chrome the window frame, who knows

Kitamura is nice equipment too ... FORTUNATELY for me, I don't see them much around here! Although the DMG stuff is practically everywhere in one particular part of my territory. That part of the territory seems to specialize in mold & die work ... particularly aluminum die cast and aluminum extrusion. Next time "The Boss" looks at new 5 axis equipment, tell him to look at the Okuma MU400 or the Hermle C60 ... we give DMG fits with those two lines!
![]() Thanks for the link ... nice MPG's of the 5 axis machine ... I love multi-axis work! ![]() Here is a link to our company ... let me know if you ever get down this way and need any equipment! ![]() R.O. Deaderick Co. Last edited by Shane; 07-08-2003 at 02:14 AM. |

Thats some nice equipment The week before last I went to the national vica competition I was competing in the automated manufacturing technology we used a prolight 1000 and they checked our parts with a starret cmm. At vo-tech we have a haas mill and lathe and a emco mini mill.
We kind of got off subject ![]() |
