    Reference Designators Made Easy

    Does anyone know of a usable guide that spells out the rules for assigning reference designators in documentation? I know I can buy IEEE-315 but that is so formal and nebulous that it only leads to confusion! Thanks!

    DEBURR HOLES AND BREAK SHARP EDGES

    Our company has a boilerplate note on our fabricated metal drawings that says: DEBURR HOLES AND BREAK SHARP EDGES. Is it true that only drilled holes have "burrs" and that we need to "break" only edges to eliminate cutting hazards? Comments?

    Machining a diamond tread pattern on a flat surface in aluminum

    mncad- I should mention that the pattern need not be "machined" per se.

    Machining a diamond tread pattern on a flat surface in aluminum

    mncad- The parts are small: 1" X 2.5" x 4" with a .5 x 1" x 2" recess inside. As for processes, we have only a small shop for prototyping. We outsource our fabricated metal parts.

    Machining a diamond tread pattern on a flat surface in aluminum

    Thanks. What I failed to mention is that the surface is at the bottom of a recess. This would mean that only the middle part of the surface could be reached with the roller. Any other ideas?

    Machining a diamond tread pattern on a flat surface in aluminum

    I know this can be done on a cylindrical surface (knurling) but what about a flat surface? I'm aware of the availability of tread plate but my part is substantially thick and the value (and quantity) is not enough to justify casting. Thanks!
