    Well, I think in today's circumstance they at least clearly see that will be impossible. Told me yesterday we'll just do what you can, it takes what it takes for time.

    I welded 22 of the 32 of these yesterday and noticed we had an extra one. When stuff is laser cut they don’t just give you an extra one for no reason.

    I found out why. Apparently there was a cutting problem on two parts and they cleaned em up with a grinder :eek:

    These get powder coated and shipped to Texas. We can’t ship these two ugly parts :annoyed:

    This is a good one, the gap is supposed to be 3mm.

    Today I make big Square into big circle. First order of removing a little material to save lathe time. On a angled cut I use a file end to put a little pressure on the blade there. Finger wouldn't be a good idea.20220113_070026.jpg

    Yes it's one inch. I'm just knocking the corners off and then put it in the big green lathe. This one wouldn't cut circles either it's just Marvel band saw.
