Cold Saw/Build Instructions/Fabricability Review

This is a page to review V1 design and 2d fab drawings.

Design

• Should be a grease nip around rod for swivel which allows lube.
• Any markers to tell you what angle the blade is at relative to vise? Protractors are a pain in the a** for fabricators. Markings will be more convenient. Stickers are sold online for stuff like that.

2D Fab Drawings

• Wherever possible, convert measurements to English units-- FeF Mills are in English units, so the conversion will need to happen either while milling, or on the drawings.
• Specify tolerances on all drawings
• Is there a cut list?

• Does the bottom side of Fixed Block need to be machined flat? Same with top of base flat. Specify if it does.
• Extend baseplate so the swiveling blade mount will always be on plate.
• Need diagram to show where to weld "long spacers"
