David’s martial arts workout video. Pretty sure he needs to loop it twice each session.
There's a Speed Weasel with your name on it.Uggghhhhhhhhhhhh (just close your eyes)
Jarod has received the box of blades from the waterjet guys, and opened it up and sent pics. Every knife on this run, except four, had jimping programmed into their CAD files, and to my dismay the jimping is missing on all of them. I have emailed the waterjet company to ask what went wrong and why either nobody noticed, or if they did, why was I not notified and given options before it shipped. Jarod may be able to mill in the jimping for us. I told the waterjet company in the email I sent them that I believe I should invoice them for any extra work Jarod has to do cutting the jimping. Is that unreasonable? I'll find out tomorrow if they think so I guess. Ironic that while I was communicating with them to set up this order, I also created this thread in the GB&U about them: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/hai-waterjets-in-trenton-ontario.1902694/ I may need to revise that thread. If anyone thinks I'm off base please say so, and what you think the appropriate response would be to this.

Will be interesting to see what their take on the issue is, since you did pay for that feature to be cut into the blanks.Jarod has received the box of blades from the waterjet guys, and opened it up and sent pics.

Is there any reason that they cannot get the blades back and mill them now?
They should cover the costs incurred to make it right.They are in Canada and Jarod now has the blades in the USA.
if you are 100% certain that the jimping was in the CAD file you sent them
They should cover the costs incurred to make it right.
Idk if you ever played with diamond files or not?Crag the Brewer you know, I never thought about putting in jimping with the dremel. I have been finding all kinds of new uses for diamond bits lately, and I think I could in fact do the jimping with it. Great point. Not as a "going forward" type of thing, but on these, to salvage them. And at the very least, if I don't get at least a decent reply I will downgrade that thread in the GB&U to "mixed".
