End Radius!

End Radius!

End Radius!

(OP)
Hi All,

First and foremost, I am trying to make a dimple on a brass sheet that is 0.8mm thick. The standard to which I am making these dimples say "Deep Dimple made with a 4.8mm rod with a 5mm end radius". Can anyone explain what your understanding of this is? Maybe my understanding of End radius is wrong. Thanks for your help.

Thanks

RE: End Radius!

Is there any depth requirement in your "standard"?

RE: End Radius!

As noted, "DEEP" is relative and the required depth needs to be specified.

"4.8mm rod with a 5mm end radius"
Is the 4.8 the length or diameter? If the dia, would there be a point using a 5mm radius?
If the length, why call it out?
