Talk:CEB Press/Manufacturing Instructions/Arms - primary
On my own initiative, I am attempting to assemble the Manufacturing Instructions for the CEB Press from the various materials on the wiki into one Open Office document, for eventual publishing as a full and complete .PDF (Adobe Acrobat document). I am not knowledgeable in machining, but I believe I have spotted some inconsistencies between the instructions and the diagrams and would appreciate help rectifying these.
Are the "Left" and "Right" diagrams intended to be the two primary arms with mirrored hole punches? If so, the models seem to be inconsistent with each other and the instructions. The "left" diagram shows only one hole punched on the 6" (vertical) side of the diagram whereas the "right" diagram shows five holes punched on the 6" side. The text instruction explicitly states, "The holes are all to be punched in the 4" side of the angle iron, in 1 1/4" from the edge of it." The holes on the 6" side are inconsistent with this, and one hole on each of the arms (on the 6" side) is 3 1/2" from the long edge and 2" from the short edge. The additional holes on the 6" side of the "right" model are 1 3/4" from the long edge. All holes on the 4" sides (on both arms) are centered 2" from the long edges.
I would greatly appreciate help rectifying this. I am capable of downloading the Sketchup models and altering them, but I'm not sure whether one of the two different models is correct (the "left" or "right" models as I described above and shown on the article page), or the text instructions are correct, as all three (the "left" model, the "right" model and the text) appear mutually inconsistent. This will most likely require someone actually at the Factor e Farm to confirm which (if any) are correct for the most recent iteration of the CEB Press Primary Arms.
This will probably be a slow process, going one step at a time through the various pieces, but it is necessary to get to a working draft. I greatly thank anyone at Factor e Farm who spots this and can help me ensure the manufacturing instructions are consistent and up to date with the latest version! --Howard V.
