I sent a file on Friday and picked up the base template today, it looks perfect. 100x better than what I had been making by hand.

seems like a lot of us are in the area. I would also like to check out any of the local shops and show our rag tag place also.

geeez small world huh? But really we are from Clinton, our shop is right next to Fuller field.

Found something in the old posts, don't know how I missed it.

Also threeninthree I would love to check the shop out some time and talk stuff if your ever interested,

Shops in Clinton like 10-15 from Worcester. I drive through Gardner between Umass and home all the time.

thanks a lot

Shop is in central Massachusetts, but go to school at Umass Amherst

Just wondering where you guys have gotten templates CNCd? Looking to get a more precise base template made.

Thanks a lot

I might be able to help you, let me get a picture of what I have up here to make sure we are on the same page.

how much are you looking for?

Looking quickly before class, I would need to get 5SRTC-GG-J/K-20-36? Which would only be the male head of the TC and the wire?

hrmm ok. The one he had was a K type, but the heat sensing end is like a screw head. I thought they were separated by ends so I guess not. I guess i have to look for one like you.

What do you screw the other end into?

Do any of you guys have suggestions for good thermocouples to use? When I initially ordered the parts my friend said he had one, but it turned out to be a K.

thanks alot, I will take a look into your suggestions when I get back to the shop. "shakes fist at living over an hour away at college"
