Hi All:
So here's a royal screwup on my part that turned a 2 hour job into a whole day job.
I had three small parts sent to me to mill the little hourglass shaped contour into them...nothing fussy but the maker of the parts doesn't know how to do 3D surfacing and doesn't have the CAM software to do it, so I took it on.
2 parts went just fine but I fucked up the third part...it's skinnier than its mates (I didn't check and just ASSUMED they were all the same) so I cut the third profile off center because I just squeezed them all in the same vise setup. (the picture said they were all the same and I was too lazy and too much in a hurry to check
So I had to laser weld the fucked up one and re-cut it.
Here are a couple of pictures.
Guess which one is the welded and recut one.
Cheers
