我的题目放了一天,,不见有人来答. 我想请你homestay来答. 我那天一口气答了你的7道题. 你可不以也任选7道题来答.
我看了你写的“变压器故障 请踊跃发言” 文章写得很好. http://www.edmontonchina.cn/view ... &extra=page%3D1
( }; h2 a, |/ U( E( O4 n; R! W但从另外一个实战角度看,,那种情况十年才发一次, 如果你动手能力不行,还没等到变压器”飞地线”那天让你来”显才华” 你的已经被foreman fire 掉了.
我这里的题全部来自工作中的实例. 都是动手题. 如果你花一分钟把焊在钢粱上旧支架割卸下来, 你的apprentice会对你肃然起敬, 如果你半个小时还没割下来, apprentice will say to you: let me show you.
我是第一次来油田活, 从一楼干到现在的顶楼(约十五层) always running basket tray. 带过三个白人 four year apprentice, “let me show you.”是他们最喜欢听我讲的一句话.  
做完上面十道题,我再放20-30 running basket tray 的题, 再作完. 那你几乎就是running basket tray 的 ”顶尖高手”.  好了废话少说, 接招吧!

怎么很多不像是电工干的活，还是工业电工就是干这个（没干过CABLE TRAY）。那个panel的问题不知道是我没看懂还是跟我干过的不同，我认为按图纸做就可以，不用问什么，除非需要改变位置。颜色用错了在时间允许的情况下一般都会换了（#12或#10），用红胶带也行（有些INSPECTOR可能不喜欢）。
另外，个人认为不必那么抢时间，不故意偷懒就行。

哥们，您是自愿的，而我可是被点将的，从这点来看就不公平。另外，本人不但不是“是running basket tray 的 ”顶尖高手””，而且几乎就没做过。还有，说实在的，你的问题回答起来很麻烦，有的问题我看的不是很明白，会进一步向你讨教。不过，既来之，则安之，我试试看吧。
1.        a)How to drill two holes on uni-strut ? The drill bit is one quarter of one inch.  The distance between two holes is 10 CM. The tolerance is +1.00mm or -1.00mm.  b) It is request to finish in 5 minutes. 转两孔,误差1毫米

在绘图中，按规定，“ The distance between two holes is 10 CM”通常指两个孔的中心点的位置，因此画距离为10cm的两点并打孔即可。但老赖在此为此问题显然不会如此容易，我想他是指两空孔的外缘的最短距离。如果是这样，那么：
1.找好第一个孔的中心点A的位置，画一条线（等号为unistrud）；  
=====|==========================
6 U+ x9 p5 q1 s. g' d& {2.用tape measure量出10cm，画第二条线；
! C3 [" H; f2 T5 y) n) \=====|======10cm========|========
8 |# X0 G* P0 B, m3.用任意一个直角的材料（H）置于A于第二条线之间，并对准第二条线；
=====|======10cm=======H|========
6 z! @4 c2 o: v; K7 G  i4.将quater inch drill bit （O） 靠在直角材料外；
=====|======10cm=======H|O=======
' g9 ?! Q6 _: j8 m. s! B1 h" J4 u5.夹住drill bit，沿着quater inch bit （O）的外侧画第三条线；
=====|======10cm=======H|O|======
9 n/ r4 F- G- T5 s6.则第一条线和第三条线的中心点就是center punch的落点。

注意：
1. unitstrud最好用vise夹住，否则unitstrud在即将被钻透时会卡住钻头并因此而旋转，极易受伤。
' j% H* L( z1 b3 ^4 d  P2.钻完后顺便把铁渣渣打扫干净，最能显示您journeyman的水平。
/ i; |1 f/ c& _% O/ Q3.只有量的准，才能钻的准---细铅笔的效果比shapee的效果好得多。
9 K# c# B: d( k( N8 \* p, }
如果工具和材料凑手，钻头锋利的话，应该用不了5分钟。另外，顺便说一句，测量两相同直径孔中心点距离的办法很简单，只要量两孔外缘的同一侧的距离即可，这样就不用麻麻烦烦的还有夹住个钻头来画线了。

2.        a)How to identify a hammer drill bit which is qualify to use or not?   
b)        After the hummer driller has power, answer the question in one minute.

I am not sure what the defination of "qualify" is in this senario, however, due to the reason that Jake is the tray master , i guess he is trying to test if i know how to choose the right drill bit for concrete anchors. is that right, Jack?
$ G6 Z4 s* E0 v5 R9 C2 U1 t6 A2 bFirst of all, the holes have to be exact in diameter and sometimes even an exact depth with the anchor in order for the anchor to work properly.  For best results with masonry anchors, it is important to "blow out" any excess dust from the drilled holes. I wish this answers Jake's first question.
As a quick test of your hammer drill bit, find a soft ground surface even it is icy and bore a quick hole then drop an anchor in it should be able to tell the "quality" of your drill bit.

3.        a)The beam’s length is 10 mm.   How many holes you can usually drill with a new one quarter drill bit before it becomes dull ?
b). If the drill bit is dull what can you do ?
c)        Drilling 10 one quarter holes on the beam which is 10 mm length. The time is one hour for you. What tool you will use at this job and how to do ?

5 y- P& v1 Y2 k* [: FI think Jake is refering to thickness of the girder here which is 10mm. How many holes you can usually drill with a new one quarter drill bit before it becomes dull ? I don't know---it depends on the quality of the bit,  material of the bit and the way how you are going to use the bit. if just not carbon steel bit, maybe just a few; if it is stainless stell bit, you may bore a lots of holes; if it is cobolt bit, you may want to---well just take it home. Also, using proper cutting oil, set the proper spining speed and apply proper presure on drill......it all matters.

" B5 m0 A$ c  |% V% a0 k6 p" a, Q  Zif the drill bit is dull, you may through it away and get a new one if you are not paying it. I have seen an Russian guy who simply resharped it by using a grinder. I tried to resharp it with a grinder too and it works perfect as well, however if you don't know the secret you may just demage it. Drill bit sharpener is being used in some company as well and usually are available in tool crib. you may also take the drill bit to your forman and tell him that you could not get the job done because the bit is dull, but you may end up heading toward the gate then :)

Drilling 10 one quarter holes on the beam which is 10 mm length in an hour is a big job for most people if they don't know the trick----I usually could get this done with in 20 minutes  with one hand in my pocket(did you see the new B?), but this is defenitely my trade secret :)

4.        How to cut 50 pieces read rod. The length is 5 inches +_one quarter in 20 minutes.

As I said, I wouldn't be able to get this done unless I may get Jack put his hands on this task. If  Jake was my supervisor, I would have somebody as witness and report this to safty department as harassment.

书归正传：first, put a 2 by 4 or something similliar on right hand side of chop saw 5 inches away from cutting disk, make sure chop saw is not moving(may need couple screws to secure it), put ready rods vertically into the clamp and cut 2 or 3 at a time depends on the diameter of the rod, should be able to get 50 pieces done within 10 minutes;
then, use and only use hand file to clean the burrs off on both side to ready rots, so that it has a useable thread. this may cost a little while though, say 15 minutes.

7.        How to install a feet, which has four holes for half inch bolt , on concrete floor in 15 minutes ?

这种活以前干过几次，不多。感觉只要把眼的位置找准，钻头用的合适，深度稍微超出anchor bolt一点，用胶带在钻头上做记号以确保各眼一样深且足够深， 15分钟应该可以搞定。
$ z: w& R5 V# n6 |2 a/ Z0 ?最重要的是：打眼务必保证垂直，否则ready rod 扭进去后指向各个方向，就很麻烦。
