    Can you make a slot symmetric to a hole?

    I need to locate a slot to a hole whats the best way to do it. The hole is datum C but the axis is perpendicular to the slot. Is it reasonable to do what I've done in the attached image? http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e54b8929-af4e-47fd-beb3-72e669a27f5d&file=gd&t.JPG

    Minitab DOE design of experiments calculation’s

    I’m used to doing DOE’s in excel and curious how minitab calculates the following 1) How do they calculate the p values for the main and interaction effects? 2) How do they calculate the values for tin interaction? I understand how they would do A*B, B*C, A*C but how do they do A*B*C ?

    What is the minimum sample size to generate a Weibull distribution?

    One of the advantages of the Weibull is you can form a distribution with a much smaller sample size than say a histogram. I experimented with using only the first 5 data points from a sample set of 26 to do a Weibull analysis. The first 5 points fit a 2 parameter Weibull and gave an R^2...

    Any idea on what could have caused this catastrophic failure?

    I recently replaced the bearing on my motocross bike (Suzuki RM 125) The bearing has 9 hours of use on it and it blew up. The bearing is in the transmission and supports the left hand side of the counter shaft. It's a wet clutch and the oil that lubricates the clutch plates also lubricates...

    Pilot hole size for threading an ASME B16.8.4 type B or AB thread forming screws into plastic

    Does anyone know of tried trued and tested pilot hole sizes for using ASME type B or AB thread forming screws in plastic? I was thinking simply 0.8*the major dia would suffice but I have changed that theory for the reasons below if you care to read on. I see design guides for all the...

    Metric module spline spec value confirmation

    I’ve been working on a metric module spline calculator in excel and would like confirmation the accuracy. Could someone that has software or published standard confirm the highlighted values? SMAX, SMIN and DFE? Or if you have a standard for another spline I can run it through the calculator...

    Calculating hoop stress in threaded fasteners

    Does anyone know of a way to calculate the hoop stress generated by torquing fasteners? I am working on a design where OD of my fastener is critical and I would like to make it as small as possible but I don’t have a good feel for what the hoop stresses will be like.

    What type of weld/braze is this?

    There are two types, brass/bronze to stainless steel, and brass/bronze to what appears to be a copper tube. I'm trying to find suppliers with similar capabilities, but I don't know what kind of weld/braze this is, so I don't know where to start.
