At my last formal job as a machinist, which before that was 15 years ago, I had a job which required using soft jaws. As basic an item as soft jaws are, I had never used them. So, I bolted the soft jaws to the chuck, and then got to thinking that I could not machine the jaws because they are loose in their slots. The supervisor was standing behind me, so I turned around and voiced my concern, at which he reached into his tool box and handed me a disk with three screws on the perimeter and said "use this". The expression on his face alone was enough to make me embarrassed. In machining it seems there are a vast array of techniques that can only be acquired through, sometimes painful, experience. -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC lathe Bridgeport mill conversion pending Zubal lathe conversion pending) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
