Just had an ordeal here where I couldn't git my 3/8-24 rings to guage right. It actually seemed as tho my No-Go was .0005 bigger'n my Go! I assumed that one of my rings had been dropped (look like new) or who knows what?
Order was for a 100 parts and they were hot, so I took a chance and ran the parts just so's the rings would just slip on - hoping this would be OK and git them their parts as needed. I sent my guages along and wanted them to check aggin their guages and see where the problem lies.
They checked with their guages and got the exact same results! (And didn't want them of course.)
So now I am really scratching my head. I was running a 24tpi "cresting" insert too. So what's up?
I came on here yesterday and started typing out a post to see who had any ideas to check - be it my G76, or ????
...and then as I am actually puting all the issues in print there was one tidbit that should'a got more attention earlier on - With a .001 adjustment on thread D I could go from a loose ring to no engagement at all. But I just couldn't make no sence of that at the time. (I am claiming tiredness. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!)
Then it struck me upside the head ... ROOT D! But the only problem was that I had not only put in a new insert, but even indexed it once and even when new I still had the same issues. So I went out to inspect that insert and shore nuff - that edge was in perfect shape! (And had it been chipped I Shirely would'a noticed while I was in production, but just one of those things you gotta go back to check eh?)
Anyway - as I am inspecting this insert with fine tooth comb, the nose R of the insert just looked awfully blunt. (big R - not damaged in any way.) That R just looked way too big to werk in a 24 tpi - yet it was a 24tpi insert.
I went to the toybox and dug out another insert from the same package and compared it to the one I was useing, and you could see an obvious difference!
Once my guages got back I hit a part and all my woes went away! (Well - those associated with that part anyway.)
Point being that even the toy makers screw up and we should not forget that fact when trying to de-bug an issue. I have also gotten one cutoff insert yrs ago that had no rake ground onto it yet. $hit happens to everyone and we kant forget the fact that bad toys can come in from big suppliers too.
