As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under \"Comments\" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut OnceSince custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring TapeExtend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2\" has a bigger mark than 1/4\" which has a bigger mark than 1/8\". The smallest mark follows at 1/16\". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End HookThe sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
Black PEEK HPV is a high-performance bearing grade sheet designed for applications requiring excellent wear, slide, and mechanical properties. Reinforced with carbon fiber, this advanced thermoplastic is engineered to offer a very low coefficient of friction (COF) and high machinability among PEEK grades. PEEK HPV is formulated to run at higher speeds and handle heavier loads than standard unfilled PEEK, maintaining dimensional stability even in environments where it will be continuously exposed to hot water or steam. It serves as a highly effective replacement for metal in demanding components such as bearings and bushings. Looking for standard, unfilled options? For applications that do not require internal lubricants or carbon fiber reinforcement, we offer Natural Virgin PEEK. This is a specialized bearing grade material reinforced with carbon fiber. It is ideal for environments requiring extreme thermal stability and continuous load-bearing capabilities. PEEK HPV is the correct choice if you need: While both are high-performance, semi-crystalline thermoplastics, they are utilized in different mechanical environments. PEEK HPV offers some of the best machinability among PEEK grades. Due to its structural stability, it supports the tight tolerances required in demanding aerospace, automotive, and textile components. High-Performance Bearing Grade Durability & Wear Resistance
