@brianmccallum @AlanSim34718124 @averagearc @fourierCO i’ve juat gone down the rabbit hole, what a mess. the amount of headaches this has caused is comical

[ky @KyleJPat]

@brianmccallum @AlanSim34718124 @averagearc @fourierCO oh god another one, why 82° whyyyy‽

[ky @KyleJPat]

@emm0sh @Xaraphim i did mean .5° for sheet, it’s achievable in a single setup to get .1° on a mill over 200mm & your right, I’d probably spend way too much time on a grinding table achieving .05° lol

[ky @KyleJPat]

@emm0sh @Xaraphim but are the mounting surfaces going to have decent flatness & perpendicularity, every time i see a sheet metal bracket its warped af from welding &/or not 90° +/- .05°

[ky @KyleJPat]

@obfuscated_D everything is spring, holding down fabs without twisting them or getting clamps in the way can be a nightmare. There’s nitpicks but it’ll prob be fine. I always try to put an indicator on two or more perpendicular surfaces to make sure it doesn’t move as I cut or drill.

@LICENSAURI0 what we could've had, stupid copilot.

[ky @KyleJPat]

@21e8ltd even harder to make

[ky @KyleJPat]

define your god damn drawings properly & us lowly CAM folk will work magic and make that shit.

Until you can give me a model with full GD&T hold off on the dustbin.

Manufacturing & complete assemblies are full of stacked compromises, without drawings & proper tolerance stacking it gets messy af really fast.

@bonjyy oh, ohhh

[ky @KyleJPat]

@Xaraphim retards all the way down, faking it till I'm making it always.

[ky @KyleJPat]

@fishPointer oh my

[ky @KyleJPat]

@fishPointer reverse engineering mounting interfaces sucks sometimes, what do you mean the 5 holes are spaced on 205mm PDC starting 15° off of a dowel, who does that.

[ky @KyleJPat]

@Blobifie @sixstringsimple @DarthMac_OG even 2nd stage?

[ky @KyleJPat]

@NZ_Trav big bada boom :(

[ky @KyleJPat]

round & round & round & round

[ky @KyleJPat]

@hunterlanier a threaded 123 block is a good mill one, bottle-jack or punch are alright lathe ones. Depends what your looking to benchmark on the machine.

@krus_chiki @F530Josh @StayFree3DP they never reply to my emails 😔

@Xaraphim

[ky @KyleJPat]

@Xaraphim Denison is the only ‘proper’ tester i’ve used & its great. Massive bit of kit thats older than i am by a margin & still pulling strong. If you find one, grab it.

@Truthful_ast @USAspaceenjoyer Imma keep applying for a job there tbh, I can fix her.
