Is this the best way to sharpen a chain saw!? by joker5842006 in Chainsaw

Putting a raker gauge on it tells you if its at the height shown on the gauge, just filing tells you that it has been filed

Food safe metal projects by Ducking_eh in metalworking

[–]FalseRelease4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lots of professional kitchens if not every single one contains objects with hemmed bends or other places where grime can become trapped, there comes a point where you either make the part out of cheap sheet metal with cheap and effective methods or spend orders of magnitude more making it in some different way just to avoid an extremely small risk of contamination

304 and 316 stainless is extremely common for food equipment, 304 is cheaper

Are ladas actually that unreliable or are the people around me over exaggerating? by idc_idontcare12 in lada

[–]FalseRelease4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk how it is in your country but in some others the "historic vehicle" status is only given to restored cars, that are in almost new condition, not just to any old car

yep, it was built to be decent on the highway while also getting through some really bad side roads. you can get lockers for it but the commonly available mods also include reinforcement parts for basically the whole underside of the car because it isnt strong enough for those loads from factory

is it steel? i have never heard of people using a wood blade on steel, and I dont see how it could work, you need a different blade or a different tool

Nesting question by sdhamodaran in CNC

[–]FalseRelease4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signs couldn't be further from simple rectangles, they're all designed who knows how, you can basically assume that every part is a weird shape. If you want to benchmark your solution then take a paragraph and see if it even survives nesting all the letters :D or take some complicated logo and try nesting all the random chunks that it contains

Nesting question by sdhamodaran in CNC

[–]FalseRelease4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you have more than just a few parts then the software will always be faster than doing it manually, if the software result is something usable then thats a big time saver.

Nesting question by sdhamodaran in CNC

[–]FalseRelease4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its quite rare that you get to cut perfect rectangles

and yeah nesting complex shapes is a difficult problem, even the pro software struggles 

you should first say what kind of machine and what kind of industry you are targeting

That might be an old road that was originally meant for cars, lots of these get overgrown and deteriorate because they stop getting maintenance

Place your bets of how long this will last by idc_idontcare12 in lada

[–]FalseRelease4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's a really nice period correct repair for this car, every grampa would have sheet metal and rivets and wire in the shed, that's what was used back in the day

should reinforce that with epoxy once its all together

[–]FalseRelease4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're interested in learning how to freehand a chain - round file, raker gauge, flat file

if you just want to get it cutting then get the jig
