I know I’m supposed to make mistakes, I do, all the time.
I’m making some clamps like the Kant-Twist variety.
I am very careful, this is a simple part but it needs to be accurate to +0 -.002”.
I need two pivots, the first one is spot on, OK, piece of cake. I measure one final time, dial in .004” and I turn .010”.
One thing about this project, I’ve never had to turn to a shoulder with this accuracy.
I have to walk away for the rest of the day…….. maybe.
I need to remind myself, it’s OK, you don’t know what you are doing and look what you made. = scrap?
