It would seem as though working alone in the machine shop leads to many fewer chances of messing up a measurement or motion. It also means you can be twice as fast working with a milling machine. The rack brackets I made this time around were perfectly symmetrical and fit nicely into the racks.
While making them, however, I did somehow manage to get the sawblade to jump off it's track on the band saw, which produced a mighty scary noise, but had no other ill effects. I'm hoping that I get to spend more time in the machine shop, albeit I don't know if my supervisor has any more work for me to do there. I can think of 1001 different <i>personal</i> projects to work on, but I don't think that David would appreciate paying me while I cut custom components for my launch pad.
Today, I test out an HV power supply and try to get the last data points required to finish my PMT calibration.
