Todays Project - What did you do today?

[PixMan]

Does the tractor which is parked inside that shed know that he/she could park on the ROOF if it wanted to?

worked on this little slot till I was about ready to throw the thing in the trash, once you mill out what little you can, its time to get out the hammer and tiny chisel and chip away at it. And I know that someone that knows what they are doing could of done the whole slot in 5 miuntes and you would of thought it was done on a machine. The print has the radius center point in the middle of the block so you can't use a woodruff key cutter to do it with.

It's coming along nicely David. I assume you couldn't reach the slot with a long end mill?

Drawing may explain it better then I can, but the center of the radius is inside the block so the only way to mill it would be to put it on a rotary table in a vertical position, anyway it would of probably taken me longer to rig it then to chip out the little bit that wasn't milled out in the flat position.

if you know of a better way I'm ready to hear it incase I have to do this again.
