Outwater to Introduce Many New Woodworking Products at the 2014 International Woodworking Fair (IWF)


Bogota, NJ (PRWEB) August 19, 2014

With this year’s International Woodworking Fair set to take place from August 20th until August 23rd at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, Outwater [Outwater Plastics Industries, Inc. + Architectural Products by Outwater, LLC] will introduce many new woodworking products at the show to address and respond to the necessity for woodworkers to improve their operating efficiency and increase their revenue in a progressively more competitive marketplace.

The International Woodworking Fair, also known as IWF, is long established as the largest woodworking trade show in North America, and is geared towards assisting woodworkers, furniture and cabinet manufacturers and other industry related professionals in sourcing innovative and traditional woodworking products of all genres.

Outwater has chosen to highlight a few innovative products that are likely to garner significant attention and positive feedback at the show.

1) RF Dimmers

Now you’re in control! Unlike IR Dimmers, which require that they be utilized in close proximity with a direct line-of-sight to their paired, unobstructed IR Receivers, the radio frequencies of Outwater’s new RF Dimmers are omnidirectional and can travel over an extended range and effortlessly pass through walls or other barriers, permitting Outwater’s RF Receivers to be placed anywhere desired, such as in cabinets, bookcases, closets or other inconspicuous locations.

Available in three different formats to suit specific applications, Outwater’s RF Dimmers and Receivers are extremely cost effective and are manufactured using the highest quality components to ensure years of trouble free operation.

Afforded with a dimmer control knob (Varies by model), which smoothly rotates in discreet incremental steps, 12V and 24V lighting can be readily and precisely regulated as desired with an effective range from 10% to 100% of illumination, and can be simply turned on or off with a light tap on the RF Dimmer’s control knob.

2) 120V RGB LED Brite Lite Flex

Just introduced as the first and only 120V RGB LED Ribbon Flex Lighting on the market, Outwater’s new 120V RGB LED Brite Lite Flex offers a kaleidoscope of colors that can be programmed to morph at variable speeds or to remain static on any color via its corresponding, 9 function RGB controller.

With no fixtures to hide, the highly flexible, diminutive physical contour of Outwater’s 120V RGB LED Brite Lite Flex can be easily cut every 19-in.and connected end-to-end via solder free, plug in connectors, and can be mounted in all of those “hard to light” areas, or virtually anyplace that could not be previously lit.

Additionally, low heat emissions and no generated UV radiation render Outwater’s 120V RGB LED Brite Lite Flex, with its IP67 rated waterproof cover (Totally protected against dust ingress and the effects of immersion in water between 15 cm and 1 meter) safe for indoor and outdoor use in a variety of commercial and residential applications in which the 120V RGB LED Brite Lite Flex might potentially be exposed to water or damp environments.

Horizontal China Milling China Machine

A horizontal China milling machine is one of the two basic styles of China milling equipment. These machines specialize in a process called arbour China milling, which involves the rapid removal of material from a source object. These machines were the original China milling machine style, with vertical China milling only coming into prominence many years later. While a horizontal China milling machine is still commonplace in most large manufacturing centres, vertical machines utilizing computer numerical control (CNC) are becoming more common all the time.

A China milling machine is a piece of manufacturing equipment. The horizontal China milling machine came into use during the early 1800s, and the basic design of a common modern machine is nearly the same as this original model. These machines may be small enough to fit on a kitchen table or as large as entire rooms, depending on the size of the item being manufactured. These machines take an initial object and remove bits, drill holes or shape contours until it is a specific size, shape and weight.

Most China milling machines move the object being shaped and the tool doing the shaping. This puts these machines in a unique class, as most manufacturing equipment typically only do one or the other. There are two basic styles of China milling machine: the vertical and the horizontal China milling machine. They differ in design and general usage.

The main difference between a vertical and horizontal China milling machine is the orientation of the spindle, the main tool inside the machine. A vertical machine operates mainly on the top and bottom of an object, although it can operate on any side. The orientation and design of many vertical machines makes them well suited for standing operators and fine detail jobs. Since the machine operates vertically, these machines are generally taller than they are long.

A horizontal China milling machine operates mostly on the sides of an object, and its positioning allows for much more aggressive material removal. These machines are often larger as well, since they are typically long instead of high. As a result, vertical machines are often used to make dies, while horizontal machines work with larger China milling projects.

Many modern China milling machines are moving away from the vertical/horizontal design. While these new mills are technically vertical mills, they are much more than a standard vertical mill due to their spindle rotation. These China milling machines are completely computer-operated. They can rotate the object freely, working evenly on all sides. In addition, they can rotate the tool, from a standard vertical to a nearly horizontal plane—this freedom of movement creates a combination of the two standard designs.

Arlen Ness’ Untitled

Image by cliff1066™
People in the know call Arlen Ness “Godfather,” not because he makes offers you can’t refuse, but as a sign of respect for his accomplishments throughout a long and storied career. He is the patriarch of the custom motorcycle industry.

Back in “the day,” circa 1970 BC (Before Catalogs), when choppers were still the homespun products of some local dude with a torch, a hacksaw, a drill press, and a rattle can of flat black paint, Arlen Ness was going for baroque. He gold-plated parts, adorned the aluminum fascia of drive-train components with ornate engravings, and applied wild splashes of Peter Max-inspired color to the sheet metal. Plush, velour upholstery adorned his seats. If Arlen thought he could squeeze more than one motor into a frame, he would. It was nearly routine—at least for Arlen Ness—to cram two supercharged, Ironhead Sportster engines into a single frame where they would cuddle up to produce ungodly heaps of horsepower.

These eccentric-looking machines were hallmarks of early 1970s chopper style. Ness was one of the first builders to embrace the extravagant hippie counterculture that blossomed in the San Francisco Bay Area, a place Ness calls home. Some of his motorcycles from this period look like psychedelic props from a Jefferson Airplane album cover, or as if King Louis XIV of France had commissioned an eighteenth-century, rococo rocket sled to go tooling around the Palace of Versailles. Ness combined “flower power” with horsepower to create motorcycles that defined an era. He is still setting the pace for younger builders.

Boeing 747-400, Lufthansa, D-ABVM, landing on Runway 19 L. SFO. 747

Image by wbaiv
Lufthansa 747-400, having landed safely, going basically South by South-west down Runway 19 L, at SFO. Thrust reversers are operating. All the way from Germany, possibly, or possibly they cleared customs in Chicago, or Toronto, re-boarded and now here they are. Or arrived from the mysterious West- Japan, China, Singapore, Australia, etc.

Its tricky, the shorter runways that seem to be athwart the Bay, well, they’re Runways 19 (coming in from the East Bay) and Runways 1 (O-N-E) coming from the Peninsula and over the BART station before landing. So
013 magnetic, 027 true and
193 magnetic, 207 true. Again, 27 degrees off a true North – South play. North by North-east for "1" and South by South-West for "19". That’s pretty counter intuitive.

And the runway that’s parallel to to the Bay, more or less, is runways 28 L & R going toward San Bruno Mountain, 10 L & R heading down to the San Mateo Bridge. It seems like it should be North and South, but those are unadjusted magnetic headings, not aligned to True North, so they turn out to be
103 magnetic, 117 true
283 magnetic, 297 true, 27 real degrees away from real East and West. More like West by North-west and East by South-east. So there’s some North/South component, but they’re really more E-W than N-S.

And it explains why the sun isn’t shining straight onto the side of planes taking off on runways 28 L or R- They’re pointed West of North-west. On the Solstice, that’s only 4 degrees north of straight into the sunset!
