Who else is a “real man”?

[Kitwn]

Today I've been playing with a new clock design in Gearotic and CamBam. By doing some redrawing of the DXF import from one to the other and making the arcs arcs instead of polylines I've managed to get the number of lines of code for one part down from over 500 to about 50. What kind of 'man' does that make me?

PS Enjoy Devon, the weather must be becoming just about bearable by now.

Less of a man...... A real man blunders straight in with little thought, goes about things in an overly complex way with the wrong tools, then refuses to alter the plan and ploughs on regardless through sheer bloody mindedness. Come on now and "man up" and turn that 500 lines of code into 5000

I shall enjoy Devon if this cut finishes. Otherwise it will be weighing on my mind!!!

That's quite easily done - just use trochoidal machining. I did a small job on Friday that involved some deepish slots in aluminium and tried doing it that way and managed to generate over 450,000 lines of code for cutting 650mm length of slot - but at least the cutter didn't snag

I think you have the description about right!

As voicecoil said, trochoidal cutting will up the number of lines, though the relevant CamBam plug-in uses arcs rather than lots of straight lines.

Perhaps Devon won't be so good if they are not civilised enough to have Yorkshire Tea. We drink Yorkshire Tea here in Tasmania, though I haven't yet seen a packet of HobNobs.
