Title: limb sleds?
Post by: Toxophilitis on October 01, 2012, 05:55:00 PM
I am taking some machining classes and for a project I thought I would make some taper sleds. How tight do the tolerances on the tapers need to be?

I bought some aluminum sleds from Kirkll  , 2 were exact and one was off .001 on one corner. A pc of cellophane tape on bottom and it was good.

I don't know anything about maching, but was duly impressed!

Perfect is almost close enough.
