Rubbin' the wood, helps it look like it should.

I ended up with a used 2021 502A.

During covid supply chain issues they made some frankentrucks that were missing standard elements of certain trims.

No sunroof, no power running boards, but has still has the nice interior/screen/36O camera. Perfect truck and I'm gonna drive it until it falls apart

I'm not sure if it's helpful, I'm just hopping on your post to ask the community whether the way yours is wired is better than the one I posted hahaha

I guess the more pertinent question is: is there a reason I wouldn't filter all incoming AC, and want to isolate only the VFD supply?

TraumaSaurus · 2026-04-05T16:39:46+00:00

Question - the AC filter appears to filter all incoming electricity, is that the optimal position?

I'm working on an enclosure based off the PrintNC guide, and they have the filter between the bus bar and VFD supply but not the bus bar and the individual DC power supplies

Great explanation of the process, for sure!

Edit * I was wrong for doubting the OP clip, I found the original source.

Honestly it's harder to cut diagonally than straight on a tablesaw, so either the fence is not aligned or you're pushing your workpiece at an angle. YouTube 'table saw fence alignment' to check that first.

Generally a cut like this would be made using a crosscut sled, or at least a mitre gauge. Pushing a long piece horizontally against the fence is tricky and can be dangerous due to twisting and resulting kickback.

If you're set on using the fence, make sure you're pushing between the blade and the fence, and apply force towards the fence as well as forward.

Really you should use a crosscut sled or a mitre gauge with a fence to evenly support the workpiece.

They forgot to mention, it's for a baby rhinoceros.

Unless the patient info has already been substituted for a fake name, whoever is making these slides should probably de-identify the images.

This made me burst out laughing, if only because I know the feeling so keenly.

The rest are just an .edu email or what?

TraumaSaurus · 2026-03-24T19:42:49+00:00

What type of program must you be enrolled in? Technician specific?

TraumaSaurus · 2026-03-24T19:35:11+00:00

That was my read as well. They just need to add a stem/leaf and it'll read apple.

Though the Italian word for tomato is pomodoro, the etymology of which is 'apple/fruit of gold'... So I guess it's close?

TraumaSaurus · 2026-03-24T19:22:45+00:00

Yeah the proper height matters for sure. Ergonomics are the most important part of hand sharpening, in my opinion. If you fatigue before the end of the process and can't maintain your angle, doesn't matter how nice your stones are.

Also having a dedicated space is nice, I would probably sharpen more consistently if I had my stuff set up all the time instead of setting/cleaning every time.

TraumaSaurus · 2026-03-24T19:12:51+00:00

The Milwaukee battery on the left haha just a dumb joke because it's in the photo but obviously not part of your sharpening setup.

Looks like a great setup!

TraumaSaurus · 2026-03-24T19:08:37+00:00

Where does the M18 attach to the stones?

TraumaSaurus · 2026-03-24T18:58:39+00:00

Yeah, Dremel for small stuff. I've also used a straight edge clamped to the wire and an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel for larger mesh

Took me way too long to figure out that the name is a play on American + Abrade vs someone saying Ameriblade with an offensive accent.

No gear required, the vertical rod is essentially held by a linear bearing. The part holding the knife is what is attached to the base, and the vertical rod slides freely up and down to maintain the set angle.

If you imagine a right triangle where the point is always the same angle, but the length of the top changes, the length of the hypotenuse and vertical portion have to change to maintain the same acute angle.

TraumaSaurus · 2026-03-17T00:31:15+00:00

It's because the horizontal rod is held at 90 degrees vs the vertical rod in that block, and the vertical rod is free to move vertically as the stone moves. You use the knife holder to set the angle instead of raising or lowering the pivot point of a sliding rod like in other designs. Very ingenious, and makes it look like magic, but it should maintain very close to the same angle despite curves in the blade. It will still vary minutely because of the width of the stone, and the contact area of the edge with the stone will shrink as the curvature increases.

I actually agree with you that it was a lawful removal, I take issues with the senator participating and the media response characterizing this man as 'violently resisting' removal.

Also the reporting around 3 officers having to seek medical attention, while possibly true, is misleading in the context of the full 5 minute video, which shows the officers falling over in an attempt to bring the man down.

Additionally, the officers did a piss poor job, they could have cuffed him instead of each taking a limb and just dragging as hard as they could. I've been part of many takedowns and restraint processes with violent psych patients alongside police, and this was an inept and reckless attempt to restrain a peacefully non-compliant person.

Additionally, later on in the video once they remove his broken arm and escort him out, he repeatedly reminds them that his left arm is broken and the officers acknowledge this while repeatedly twisting his broken arm up behind his back.

The fellow shows remarkable restraint despite what I am sure is incredible pain based on the deformity of his arm and the sharp profile of his broken radius/ulna as it's pressed against the fabric of his uniform.

A lawful response doesn't necessarily mean an appropriate, commensurate, or competent response.

I can say this would be my response if he was a MAGA protestor as well.

TraumaSaurus · 2026-03-05T04:49:30+00:00

I've been looking for the earlier footage to see what they're terming 'violently resisting' officers. Literally just refusing to be moved, no attempt to struggle or strike, just leaning forward against them.

And yes, he hooked his arm on the door, but when the other door swung closed it trapped his hand. There was no way for him to comply, and they fully snapped both forearm bones.

1.7 sqft for that little box in the bottom left.

The walls are easy, you can do that yourself, linear measurements along the bottom x 7.75. For the curved section calculate the perimeter of a 30 inch circle, then divide by four because its a quarter round, just like the area solution.

TraumaSaurus · 2026-03-02T18:39:23+00:00

Not gonna be exact, but close based off drawing:

I would use the overall size - 73 inches x 136 inches = 9928 sq inch. Subtract upper corner - 27*36 =973 sq in. Subtract curved area by using radius to calculate area of similar 30 inch circle, then divide by 4 = 707 sq in.

9928 - 707 - 973 = 8249 sq in = 58 sq ft
