GoOnThen Posted October 11, 2012 Finally some one asks a question in my field of expertise and I wasn't allowed to answer it 2 : If you use a slot drill / end mill you will end up with rounded corners which will correspond to the radius of the tool that you use. The other option to get closer to a true square is to use a Watts drill. Ok I am done now I will crawl back in to my hole again Cheers Got 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted October 11, 2012 I enjoy reading your posts SallyD. I find them both humorous and educational (not necessarily both those things in the the same post). 1000 posts under your belt,!! ... and heres to thousands more to come . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can swing you some Acacia seeds if you're up for it. brix or degrees Oechsle (°Oe) re:refractometer units .. ??? ( you know i really don't know what i am talking about) Another winner! Very good Amz, the refractive index can be applied to many different scales, they are two of the more common ones. #1 Which physical phenomena is exploited in a tank circuit in an FM transmitter (not oscillation) #2 How do you drill a square hole in a piece of steel #3 I've recently germinated some seeds that are the only species in their genus - name the genus #4 The presence of dandelions indicates a predominant deficiency of which mineral in soil #5 What unit does a refractometer measure #6 How old was Old Tom Parr said to be when he had an affair and fathered and illegitimate child #7 How do you determine the age of a racehorse.

∂an Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) 5) Degrees? I'm thinking refraction of light, which is essentially changing its vector of propagation... woohoo 666 posts for me! I should do something evil. edit: darnit amazonian beat me! is 7 a trick question? I do not know any horses but perhaps they count their age just like we do, by knowing when they are born?

El Presidente Hillbillios Posted October 11, 2012 7) Number Brand on the shoulder is year of birth and number foal born to that brand that season. Or look on the horses registration papers LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sallubrious Posted October 11, 2012 No it's not a trick question, it can be cause for confusion because of the horses birthday factor. If no-one gets that question tonight I'll give it to Ethos, as a good vet can tell the age of a horse by its teeth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

at0m Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Would it come off bad if I was to answer that one too? Probably. I'll leave it for someone else Someone got it anyway. Edited October 11, 2012 by at0m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qualia Posted October 11, 2012 technically there is no unit of refractive index, as it's a derived quantity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opticaldelusion Posted October 11, 2012 #2 with the Swiss made Vika attachement Hope i am right. Shit... beat me to it Optical. oh well. P.S, Congratulations on reaching 1000! great give away.

Sallubrious Posted October 11, 2012 technically there is no unit of refractive index, as it's a derived quantity. Fukken nitpickers, you try putting a quiz together with ten beers under your belt. The question was what unit does a refractometer measure, I was after degrees (of refraction) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haynzey Posted October 20, 2012 Ive used a refractometer to test the specific gravity of my home brew. i beleive it can be used for multible purposes but mainly to measure density of liquid.??? I might be off track cause you can also use a hydrometer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
