Outspoken
I just looked at the spec for the first set of crimpers OS put up.
No specific conductor sizes given for a coloured crimp size, so how much do you crimp a 1.5 compared to a 1mm. Both go in a red crimp.
DW, calibrating a set of crimpers, don’t make me laugh!
I think you will find all crimps suffer the same problem Tony, I have never had a crimper that adequately crimped a 1.0mm, but then I have a specific crimper for 0.5 and 1.0mm crimps
With regards calibration, Yes you can have crimpers calibrated, in the telecoms (mobile) and the Nuclear industry all tools of this nature have to be calibrated on a regular basis or you cannot use them. I have had my crimps calibrated on numerous occasions when working on cell Infrastructure projects and on Nuclear sites..However for general sparking work so long as you keep your crimpers in good order and lubricate occasionally then they should never need to be calibrated, only the occasional adjustment if possible.
