SPQ13: Quinn. B&G machine and the Torch

This week I got to experience up close some huge diesels. As a class, we went to B&G machine shop in Seattle to view how they rebuild these huge motors. I learned about how important accuracy is and RA (roughness average). RA has to do with the surface finish of the medal you are machining. I also got to get some practice on the cat simulator. I have completed 4 exercises, but need to do the final tests. As you can see in some of my photos, I got some more experience with a cutting torch. I needed to flip the cutting edge on a 160 JD excavator, but the nuts would come off. All in all another good week.

Hours: 40
Hours to date: 203
