Re: For FRC Student Machinists
I started FIRST a while back not knowing CAD or machining. My tolerance was jigsaw and +- 0.050
Then I got some experience, made some plates and learned to mill on a junky benchtop mill. Tolerance +- 0.010 Later as a student mentor I got into shifting gearboxes, press fit bearings, the works. Used a Bridgeport with a DRO / rotary table / boring head. Tolerance +- 0.001 Then came hydraulic valving in college, grinding, precision cnc, etc. Tolerance +- 0.0005. Now... microfluidic valving. Tolerance? Hah! +- 0.00004 The more you learn, the more awesome the stuff you work with becomes.
