Mechanics to visit Table-Tek shop this friday

Actually, funny situation yesterday.. I was delivering a table to the Catskills in New York and while up there stopped by at Orange County Choppers. Just around the corner I passed a pickup truck with a Bridgeport milling machine in the back. Unfortunately I didn't have time to get a picture, but it proves that they are technically portable!

So what is the other 50% for the original question? Trying to see where you are going here. I did like RJTcobra idea, though I would only change that 2 or 3 degrees at most. A softer facing would compress more, imparting more rebound to reject balls especially hard shots or with certain english. cant say I have spent much time making tables more difficult. As it so happens, I was just talking about this with Pete Fusco the other day. I did a table with Pro-Cut pockets and he asked to have me open the facings up a bit for one pocket usage. Going back this monday, maybe I will post the before and afters. What was the original gc3 corner pocket angles vs the current 141-142>? Talk to you later.

I explained the other 50% in the thread I started, check it out there.;)
 
I read it just a few minutes ago. Thanks for the clarity, but I was a bit disappointed. All the drama and no climax, reminds me of middle school.

Sometimes the correct answers can be boring, but never-the-less 50% right...is still 50% wrong;)

Rob, I don't have an address for my truck:thumbup: and not only do I hardly ever know where I'm going next, I never know how long I'm going to be there. I left the Diamond factory around Dec 14th or so, and still haven't been back yet. Just give it to Jay and he'll hold on to whatever it is for me as I'll be seeing Jay real soon.

PS, nothing I have....let me say that again....NOTHING I have...has OTLB written on it, beside it, under it...or any where near it:thumbup:

Your wrong again!
 
Don and I had a good time at the shop. Thanks for having us, Rob. I enjoyed seeing the tooling, and even though it isn't portable (reasonably LOL) it was good for me to see that side of things and think of things from a machinists perspective. You've got a lot of great ideas and a different way of thinking than a lot of us.

It was good seeing you, Rob, as well as Jay, Pat and Bob again. I really enjoyed meeting all of you at the Alsip seminar and was glad to have another chance to hang out and exchange ideas. Good stuff!

Talk to you guys again soon!
 
I sure hope he will, it was a good day. Lots of exchange in information and plenty of war stories. Thanks for the good words about the tooling. Never said it was going to be the industry standard, but you can see how it shows the lack of manufacturer tolerances. Any portable version will have shortcomings from either adding a human element or a deflection prone cutter as was evidenced by the original cut surfaces. Not to say that it would not be "good enough", but never as good as possible. Having the ability to build a custom solution is invaluable, though as we work together it can have even greater appeal. I look forward to the mechanic dinner, cya there.
