I used to know slightly a woman named Pam who worked for Sherline and went to the shows from time to time. She's a great machinist; I wonder if she's still there.
Did you talk to Kat?
Jim, remember that Zee was a software engineer, he never reads manuals!!
There's a word for you guys...but I'll keep it in the shop. Chris: Yes, I remember that. I should've mentioned it. That gives measurement to the carriage whereas the plate does not (easily).Jim: I think you're referring to "Rollie's Dad's Method" which is what I was going for.Jim: None of my nuts have that feature.P.S. There's actually more than one word for you guys.P.P.S. And no...they're not pretty.
To keep the studs from exiting the bottom of the nut, the standard procedure is to "stake" the bottom of the nut - displace a bit of metal with a punch to obtrude into the path of the stud. Of course, this is harder to do if the nut is hardened ... is it?
