Dear All,
It's a while since we had a query of a purely mechanical rather than
gnomonic nature.
So how about this one....?
It is required to fix a stainless steel sundial component into an
existing slab concrete pavement. The stainless steel is c.4mm thick and
can be circular, of the order of 200mm diameter or rectangular, of the
order of 400mm x 300mm.
Query:- how can the concrete be cut in each case to the required depth
so that the component is flush with the surrounding concrete, and with
neat edges, and how could the stainless steel be fixed in place to
resist pedestrian loading and vandal attack?
Are there machines e.g. diamond cutters that could cope with all
possibilities?
Would s/s lugs welded to the under side of the component and set in
corresponding resin-filled holes be a fixing method?
Thanks in advance for the flood of solutions that I am sure will come
piling in.
