Description:

This film explains and illustrates the proper methods for machining the Henry Wiggin & Company high-nickel alloys. Because investigations have shown that most industrial accidents involving the Wiggin alloys are caused by improper attention to machining principles, the company offers a book (shown in the film) and this film that explain the proper tools, lubricants, cutting speeds, and safety measures for cutting off, turning, boring, milling, drilling, tapping, broaching, precision grinding, thread cutting, and spark erosion. Stressing that these new high-nickel alloys are especially demanding of care and attention, the film includes a mock silent-era sequence (monochrome, with music track only), in which a workman carelessly allows a machine to overheat. <32mn>
