Re: How it works

 

Dave,

This drawing is very blurry because the resolution is so low, only 488 pixels wide.? It should be at least 1024 wide.? Unless somehow you're reducing the resolution before emailing, you should be able to get an improvement by setting this drawing to be a true attachment, not inline as you have done this time.

Recently you attached a PDF which fixed a similar problem.? I'd like to see what happens if you try the true attachment method, though.

I'm a moderator of one or two of your other machining groups, amd have several groups.io of my own, so I have experience with this kind of thing.? Email me direct if you want.

Hank

FYI? Background?
?
I had check class 45 cast iron and would not fit in Rockwell tester.
Rutland had a unit for none destruction testing I purchased and very simple . A 3/16 ball from ball bearings. And a clear tube . It work but easy to lose the small ball so I up size so easier to find the ball. Then used a paint stick good and bad marks . Now my crew could check the hardness too. They set wheel on floor and drop ball. In time a rug around the wheel stop ball from hiding . The pickup ball and check next wheel. We did not check every wheel just in in each batch.
Then when looking materials it came handy too.

FYI I still have the test disk from Rockwell hardness test I think last for ever
