Hex from round stock
Hex from round stock
(OP)
I'm quoting jobs that have hex shapes on the outside of part. I would like to machine these using round stock. The material calls out for aluminum 2024-T4 or T351 in accordance with AMS 4120, in the drawing view, there is a note on the size of the hex that calls out, in this case, .812 hex stock. This is a P&W part. My question is, can I use round stock and simply cut the hex, or am I required to purchase hex stock?
Thank you

Be prepared to be rejected because of the cost and time for an engineering analysis required to prove that the substitution is suitable.

I hope you don't have to order a custom mill run of 0.8120 = 203/250 hex stock, instead of using 0.8125 = 13/16 available off the shelf.
