Got the skateboard truck parts all proofed out and load stock in and walk away while it does its thing, so I started working on re-organizing the fixturing and pins drawer.
Nothing special, just putting together sets of tools and organizing them. My boss uses one interesting technique for keeping small pins and screws to use old endmill boxes. It’s perfect for holding many different sizes separate while taking up little space to do so.
Re-organizing these drawers was quite tedious, but it feels nice now that everything is in its proper order and makes finding tools much more accessible.
The Haas VF3 is also having some weird issues with tool probing repeatability. My boss was testing it the other day and found his work lost from improper tool heights, and the strange thing is that it doesn’t repeat; each time he probes the tool, he gets a different result. Typically within two thou of each other, I’ll be re-calibrating the Reinshaw tool probe tomorrow and see if that somehow fixes the issue.
