RE: [gingery_machines] new article: Making it Dead Flat and Square

 

I'm not so sure what I've got for metal. The label doesn't even say CRS or HRS. I guess it is CRS because there is no scale.

I took a 3" length of it and milled the top and bottom long edges. Then I used my one precision 3" square as my reference plus some HiSpot to find where it was out. It didn't take much draw filing to true it up. When done, I see no light between the two edges and both this square and another one I have with a knife edge.

So maybe I should now wait a few days and see if it warps?

Rick, it is HRS you need, which has the down side of having a layer of scale on it to remove!
