Re: Best way to make gussets?

Team 4499 has recently acquired a 1995 Haas VF2 and what we are doing to make gussets is first cut out stock that is big enough to fit two gussets on it as two L's. Then we chuck it up in the mill and run a holes sequence to get the hole pattern in it to then mount it to a plate tapped with those holes. After that, we bolt each side down and then it runs a sequence that cuts the perimeter of the gussets. The whole 8 gussets are done in under an hour and we are ready to assemble.
