A New Dimension

Dimensioning a part is a perishable skill.

I am knocking the rust off now.

Luckily, the parts for the silencer are actually very simple.

While figuring out how to dimension some features I am reconsidering them because it'd be simpler to machine them with a different process and that changes the shape of the feature slightly.

A good example is the slots in a flash-hider.  They are tapered because the cutter is tapered, a square cutter was found to get caught as the work flexed.
