Kent,
It's always the silly season around my
household. ;-) Spent the last week using a vixen file to file down
my vacuum hold down platen on my saw beveler. The platen that I
thought was flat, wasn't. As a result, I was ending up with tapered
bamboo triangular strips that didn't really follow the taper I set
forth to achieve in the G code. Platen is 60" long, and 1"
wide. You get really silly filing .001" out of a 6" section of
that. Even sillier when you have to knock down .003" - .005" of said
platen. But it is now off less than .0005" the entire length. I
think I just passed my apprenticeship test. That much filing ought
to get you a journeyman's card anywhere... ;-)
