    Accurate boolit length

    NOE molds are pretty straight forward but I’m not seeing a length for this accurate boolit.

    Good Lord. I’m so flustered that I needed you to point out the obvious. Thank you!

    It's a hard to read drawing . I'm a draftsman by trade and I would be ashamed to turn in a drawing that pathetic ... looks like CAD . Computer Addled Drawing

    I took one semester of drafting in college and my woodworking drawings are better than that.

    KISS Once you know how it works it is an extremely simple drawing to read all the info most customers need.

    I am fairly dumb but I can read the drawings well. Some overlook the obvious which causes the simple to become confusing.

    I also blame the drawing. You shouldn't have to figure where the datums are, that's how drawings get misinterpreted and your shop turns out scrap instead of parts.

    Has Accurate Mold been turning out scrap? When did it start?
    I just received one from them less than a month ago. 3 cavities of one design and 2 of another.
    Hate to hear that as I was going to order another mold soon.

    Nope, just venting about drawings in general. As long as their people use and understand their drawings, there won't be a problem.

    I have ordered Accurate molds and I have always been pleased. When it was pointed out to me I couldn’t believe I didn’t catch the length. I honestly felt like it was added after I posted the picture. Lol!
