Ted,
Who's your tooling engineer and does he have access to Mold Flow"?

Yes we always do a mold analysis but in this case...it was wrong

Cool stuff there Ted!

What kind of indicator is in picture 6; I don't remember seening one with the same number face pattern.

Thanks and God Bless, Louis

Looks like a Browne & Sharpe to me. They make good stuff! They make black face and white face indicators. I prefer the black face as I find the contrast easier to see. Especially in less than fantastic lighting conditions.

Brown & Sharp with the long tip.....I don't use it very often

The same numbers are left and right of zero....to the right = (plus) to the left = (minus)

This feature is what I love about B&S indicators vs Interapid

My workhorse is the Noga mag base in that same picture and is a tool that I use very often and recommend

OK I thought it was a Brown and Sharpe but all the ones I have.....have for instance 0-1-2-3-4-3-2-1-0 or say 0-5-10-15-10-5-0. You get the pic. Yours looks like it says something different. Like 0-1-2-1-0 or something. I have several and my favorite is Brown and Sharpe too; but the number scheme on yours looked different to me. I wondered if they made one finer than .00005.

Andy I too like the black face better, especially for my aging eyes.

God Bless, Louis

Ted,

If the surface finish on the inside of the molded part had been critical. How would you have solved the issues?

Yeah, been there done that!! When I got caught with something like this the solution was vent pins somewhere in the core side. Wish I'd had some of the newfangled steel to work with.
