 I have the template machined and will send tomorrow..............looks
 very good... the dowel pin holes are tight... they were reamed for
 precision so could not be more than .002 off or it would not go
 on............

 Jarrett is sending me an updated file with this new and exact hole
 placement.  When I hear back from you,all is good ,I can get those
 plates out.....

 OK Jeff. I'll take it down to Mazdatrix and try it out on a couple of
 their RX8 engines. I have plenty of 13B around here.

Who.. what... um..  what am I sending.. I must have missed something..
let me
know what it is.. and I'll send away :)

Jarrett

I don't know. Jeff do you need some SW files?
BTW Jeff what cad cam software are you using.
Larry is using visa cam and he says splines are not a
problem. My local shop is using master cam I think.
No problems with splines.

I got what I needed from Jarrett..

I have no problem with splines,I just do not like them....It boxes you
in some trying to manipulate the geom when optimizing machining ops and
creates a ton of code..In fanuc controlled machines they usually cheat
you memory.  Mine is only 356K.

All  is good , just a preference...


jeff

Ah so that is why people are going to PC and EMC controllers.
4 gig memory :)

Larry is also updating one of his machines.
