Having previously posted the "surface grinding/lapping" thread, I have been convinced by my design group that the topics discussed in there were dead ends. I'm now investigating an alternative method of meeting the tolerances in question.
To re-cap, I'm trying to make a laminated...
I'm designing a laminated superconducting magnet which is 2m long, made up of around 250 individual plates. The required flatness of the pole pieces across the length is 10 microns. Our original idea was to join all the magnet plates together using dowels, controlling the location of the dowel...
