Re: Nothing But Dewalts Issue

Thanks for pointing this problem out.

This is one of the trickiest parts to make.

The part is hard and the wall that is left is very thin*. The machinist needs to take very small cuts with a carbide boring bar or (my perference) you need to find a good wire EDM source.

*in fact it was so thin, there is no engineer I trust that says it should work, I myself doubted it would hold up, but thankfully, testing is the ultimate authority.
