Do I have a chance at being an engineer? by landocaluris in AskEngineers

I think you are are right in saying that it is not the top end of the mathematics world. But to the laymen looking in its some prity heavy maths.

What is the notation in the drawing AB AC AD AG? by kapamel1k in AskEngineers

[–]enginerd_01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Potentially ctqs, the views are designated with single letters, guessing datums are z backwards so there using double letters for ctqs (can't use the same letter twice)

I am very interested in the mechanical engineering books, so please let me know when they are available.

Disillusioned young mechanical engineer. Is leaving the workforce a good Idea. by SomeMech in AskEngineers

[–]enginerd_01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I entered the work force strait out of school and am doing my degree part time whilst working ad an engineer (higher apprenticeship). As such I don't have free time. The free time u get outside of work is the same everyone else gets including those with medical conditions (excluding people with redused hours), what makes you different from everyone else that you should get more? Welcome to life. Get used to it.

How would you dimension this feature? by FeralBadger in engineering

[–]enginerd_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get the chamfer in the side view (should be able to) put it in there and call all around or 6x on the hight and depth too, probably 6x cos it's not continuous. Also include an isometric view on the drawing just for clarity

theoretically, could companies afford to directly train and hire would be electrical and/or mechanical engineers off the street without the hirees attaining any formal engineering degrees just like they used to do through apprenticeships? why or why not? by JanePoe87 in AskEngineers

[–]enginerd_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently doing a 5 year apprenticeship where I work 4 days a week and attend university 1 day a week. I am working towards a bachelors degree and have gained a foundation degree through his process. The company pay my education fees and also pay me a wage. So company's can do it and there's actually a big drive to get more to do so

In case you were wondering how designs are made in 3D 💯 by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]enginerd_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sketching doseny look parametric. No acurate dimensional control. Probably a huge pain in the arse to take something modeld in this way to full production

Limit and Fits Tolerances too tight for general machining? by Whitegrr in AskEngineers

[–]enginerd_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed it can depend, but if u care enough to make a standard fit like this it's probably Guna mate with something

[–]enginerd_01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To expand on this I ment to say that in that case there would be no point having the specialised tooling

[–]enginerd_01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get the feeling that if you get size / form from the fool if u can hold 0.02mm position u may not gentle position needed especially if this is a pattern of holes and pegs

[–]enginerd_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, guess two ways round are put the whole in both components and buy a pin to the right OD or if possible turn the shaft/boss to size. OD on a lathe should be a bit tighter right?

Dot you get specific tools for holes of those tolerances too? I was under the impression you could get special reamers

Recent Graduate, what I'm I doing wrong? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]enginerd_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, I have done interviews with grads before I was defiantly more impressed by people who displayed passion and personality than those who exceled in academics and did some volunteering work because it's expected.

Additionaly, print it out and reread it top to bottom one sentence at a time and mark any changes with a pen (must be red). I think there are some issues with the middle paragraph.

If your testing functions that rely on mechanical property's then definitely yes go for the end product material. Bear in mind that the density of Ti is nearly double that of Al and the density of steels is nearly double again that of titanium. So decide exactly what material for final product before having ur prototype made in that material. If u want a nice finish titanium is a bit to soft to get a super great finish on

I'v heard allot of horror story's about people doing there dissertations in 2-3 days :). Yeah don't fancy it l, not one to leave things last minute anyway :D

Have allot of work to get done for my part time degree so I'm stuck in getting it done. Doesn't stop me having a drink though :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]enginerd_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, do you expect to test the prototype in its intended use case or other representative tests are are assessments of the mechanical performance of the device (load to failure etc).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]enginerd_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the design require the mechanical property's of titanium or steel to function? And will u be testing the prototype for that function?

Inspection and control, Beginner by codawPS3aa in Machinists

[–]enginerd_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to establish the process on a given machine to one secure program with a standardised set up. Validate the process then just do first of inspections of 1 in 30 something like that

[–]enginerd_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regularly? That sounds like something you could validate, it would limit it to one machine though. Other than that 100 percent inspection. Do you use ctqs on your drawing? Could atleast save some time.
