Good Day,

 

I will post MC9 file "Whats_.58_Dim.mc9"

 

Please discribe what you see

 

it might be an optical illusion.

 

Or a high paid engineering wonder.

 

Whats The .58 Dim...???

Ok Tony the only thing I can get out of it is maybe he wants a taper cut at the 17 mm width and that si the difference from one apex poitn to the next. i did create an arc fomr that point and it does intercect at the edge o the part but is not the center of the arc so that was out fo the window. I am sorry but unless I was send a 3-D dile ro a better print I would not even bother more than about 30 seconds on a part of this nature. It doesn't matter me to me how smart a person is if they go out of their way to make it diffuclt for me to do my job not the kinda work I want to do.

Good DaY Mill

 

 

I will give you another hint:

 

Its not a milled feature

 

and it was not a smart Engineer

 

look close... ( zoom zoom )

 

The info is all there...Be creative

 

The only limits on MC are the parts you program.

Since there are no verticle dimensions on this, but obviously the holes are not in line with each other in Y, it has to be the offset between the holes in Y and analyze kinda suggests that. I hope this guy doesn't really get paid for doing this crap, is he like 10 years old or something. I'd have to take him out back and drop kick him towards the unemployment office. cheers.gif

biggrin.gif I decided to take time time now, but to no avail. What appears to be "center lines" ticks may not be. confused.gif May be "pyramids" shape objects (three of them). The fact that the end points of the "center ticks" are dimensioned with 0.58 means they are NOT just tick marks, rolleyes.gif but part of the part. And, I think, the key to this whole quiz. Hences the name of the file "what_.58_dim.mc9"

 

I believe the mtg holes needs to be "hidden lines" if from back of part. tongue.gif

 

Very interesting, but no longer interested. Thanks wink.gif

Challenges are always fun to try to figure out. I too believe the dim. (based on what we are given), refers to the "Y" offset of the hole. The reality of the quiz? Is there anyone here who would machine the part without getting clarification on what the dim. represents? I would hope not!!

 

The purpose of a drawing is to CLEARLY convey the engineer's concept of a part to the machinist, so it can be made as required. This is not done here (we have prolly all had drawings like this) and has to be revised for clarity.

Good Day,

 

 

Im glad that almost everybody had a " time "

( good/bad ) with this.

 

Those of you that said it is the "Y" ofset

Dim. of the two holes were correct.

 

When I showed the " engineer " HIS mistake

he looked at it and said " I dont Know what I

did...Which comes to the moral of this post.

 

My point was to show that (Im going out on

a limb) some (most) American engineers design

parts processes and assemblies and dont know

what or how they work.

 

I believe our manufacturing problems in this

country are ( somewhat) a product of this.

100% agreed. Today I have a part we are doing out of ABS and the engineer needed the spefic gravity and the voulme of the part and then wanted me to figure out for him the weight of the part when it was done. I am like are you an engineer or not.

I have the saying:

 

Engineers are the people that design the part and Machinist are the people that make it and make it work right.
