(I apologize ahead of time If I posted this in the wrong section)

I'm in the process of starting an import business. I'm trying to do some market research and need some help, since I don't know too many mechanical engineers myself I want to know if any of you have any experience with these tools (I do understand the general concept of these tools and uses) and I want to know how the market for these tools are, if sold at a relatively low price? My competitors (most online wholesalers) sell these items at a high cost, I can cut these prices 40-60% since I will be buying from a manufactuer who produces these items. I will be importing "cutting" and other various tools such as:



  • Sin Flute Countersinks
  • Dovetail Cutters
  • Woodruff Cutters
  • End Mill Cutters
  • Center Drill
  • Adjustable Hand Reamer
  • Morse Taper Finishing Reamer
  • Repairman's Taper Reamer
  • Taper Pin Reamers
  • Chucking Reamers
  • Flat / Rectangular Tool Bit
  • Square Tool Bit
  • High Speed Steel Tool Bits
  • Cut Off Blades
  • Counter Bores
  • 3 - Flute Center Reamer

Can you please help me with any knowledge you have concerning "cutting" tools in general and the market for them (north america)

thank you !

Manik Sharma.

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
