I go through a lot of them but I'm all out. Luckily the blades I ordered will be here tomorrow.
Using my jigsaw just doesn't cut it.

Is the jigsaw blade on the correct way? You go through alot..... sounds like a cutastrophy.

50 years of messing with wood and tools, it's a pretty good chance the blade is right.

sense the tolerances of our old CNC and new CNC are different i get to recut half of what i cut at the end of yesterday. yay me. this only set me back about an hour.

Did nobody check the parts as they were ran?

no. there are 2 files. one for the old machine and one for the new machine. i only convert them to the new machine if i cut them. so having a file for the new machine made me think i had previously cut them on the new machine. which means they would be fine. turns out i hadn't cut them. so my ID's were a little over 3/64 off.

So you guys don't check your first part off the machine?

What kind of tolerances are you working to?

I made it to lactose intolerance.

You got me gassed up.

if its a part i haven't done before ill do one and check it. if its one iv done in the past there's no reason. i thought i had done this one in the past so there wasn't a need to check it. joke was on me.
anyway, its all made now.

What kind of tolerances are you working to?

it varies from job to job. sometimes iv got 1/16 or more to play with. in this case iv got about 1/32 to play with.

Wow, that's pretty wide open. I came from aerospace so +/-0.001" was not unusual.

i make electrical coils. the bobbins just have to fit the mechanism they operate and still have enough room for the windings. 99% are no big deal, there's moderate room (usually on the OD), but every now and then we end up with one that has to mirror the original to within about a 1/64th or it ether won't fit the mechanism or you won't be able to get all the windings on it. i only deal with maybe 3 of those a year. hate those. of course the big sloppy ones aren't exactly fun ether. you get to precise with those and it can alter the amount of copper you wind on it and it won't work right.

yeah i got hit with a job at 11:30 that has to go out the door today. i had to cut out and glue together the bobbin. finished cutting it out about 12, but letting the glue dry was a bridge to far so it got placed on the heat plate on the injection molder. after being told don't go higher than 100 degrees or the tape will get all gooey he proceeded to crank it up to almost 200. then checked it every 11 seconds to see if it was dry yet. then realized the tape was getting all gooey. removed the tape and put it back on the heat plate. after about 25 minutes he cleaned the goo off with acetone and with the glue still not quit dry, wound it. luckily it held. then varnished it. then at a quarter to 2, before the vanish was dry, was told to finish it. so i stopped what i was working on and finished it while he sat at the other end of the workbench not knowing what to do with himself. i finished it at about a quarter after 2 and he took it and scurried off. no joke, he left with it! don't know where he went or when he's coming back, but its supposed to ship overnight VIA UPS who will be here at 3:30. and it's currently 10 to 3, so...
