Exactly. *For most die work we'll hold .0005", for the length of the

How often do y'all see machinists also shear and bend sheet metal?

Quite a few "general machinists" will do it as part of their project.
Just like they will weld and braze, and torch or plasma cut. *And
besides, this is a METALWORKING group - not a "machinists" or "cnc" or
"cad/cam" group. It's RCM - which even includes hammering copper, or
wire sculpture.

It's now a group hijacked by phony conservative assholes who follow
the cult of Gunner.

These phony conservative assholes have forgotten what conservatism
should mean as well as what ethics are.

In addition we have the non-metalworking computer idjets.
