[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 28657, member: 3"] Brent I did these calculation quickly in Excel and there is the likelyhood that they are off a bit but that error sholdn't be more than 1 order of magnitude. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] They are more for concept and should probably be tweaked a bit...of course I could be all wet too. Let's talk about this... [B]That is another one I'm not sure I'm seein completely, then again I ain't awake yet, or been through geometry either. 6" is more than this program figured so I don't know what to think yet. 1 - the cosine of 12... what is "1" and why are we subtracting the cosine of 12 from it to get the vertical error, that is the part I'm missing, probably some more too. Wish I knew more geometry, I have a feeling I'll figure it out but I'm having a serious brain freeze right now.[/B] I used a graphic example to visualize the error/deviation propogation. Get a 8 x 11 sheet of paper... I'll wait.......................... Okay. Fold the paper in half in both planes (quarter the paper to get reference marks). Use one of your handy CD's and place the center of the spindle hole over the central intersection on the opened sheet of paper. Draw a circle on the paper using the CD's outer edge as a guide.
