Today really started with this, the much long
waited for 8 mm bit! , arriving only a few minutes
before taking my wife to Kamakura.
She was attending the final sessiion of their regular
gatherings, out for a luncheon party, before the summer
recess.
This package, is it not ridiculous? It only contains a simple
8 mm bit, as shown, encased in a plastic tube!
Inside this plastic tube is the reuter bit I had ordered, and it
is shown bellow, on the right.
One on the left of it is a smaller diamter (6 mm) bit. This 6 mm bit is
useless for trench cutting for mini chopstics containers, because
its diameter is just a little too small.
The most prominet effect of today's arrival of the 8 mm
diam. bit is shown above. Can you belive that you are looking at
them, top on!?
Can you see that it is now much narrower? The one above was
fabricated using a 12 mm diam. bit. Treches have been cut
, in both cases, inside these narrow humps!
Above is the view, looking at them sideways. Each one of the pair
members contains a 190 mm chopstic. Trench depth is 8 mm, just
enough to contain a 6-7 mm chopstic.
Above? Yes, you are looking at the inside out of the whole thing,
with the chopstics. As a matter of fact, the trenches are now
deep enough, the chopstics can be placed in there, paralell,
rather than anti-paralell. In reality, I find it much easier to
place them anti-paralell.
Let me now talk a little about operational issues.
Take a look at the following illustration.
A is showing you the 8 mm reuter bit going down into
the workpiece, and B is the expected result, with walls
of equal thickess on either side.
In reality, this never happens. No matter how carefully
you try to centre the bit end, before embarking on
your actual trench cutting, you are likely to see
something like C, after a few sessions with the workpiece.
However, you can easily correct for this, by moving the bit
slightly to the thicker wall, as shown in D!
The blue blob is the bit end, of course. You may say
that might deform the top view of the trench.
However, you can barely see the result of the correction
procedure, I can assure you!
All in all, I am very much satisfied with the result of
today's and I am looking forward to mass-producing them!
Readers, I will belogging tommorrow and the day after
tommorrow. However, after that, there will be no
entry, until before the Beijin Olympics.
I will be staying at our Yatsugatake cottage, with
my mother, slowly working on those 190 mm chopstics
and other things, and generally being happy for being there.
