Dr Bob Vendetta PP Block

[GB2017]

I didn't get one, so there may be details that I'm unaware of,
BUT
as long as it was clear to all, that this was a prototype with untested changes they were buying in to, then I'm afraid it's a chance you take & I don't see that he should have refunded the buyers.
As for errors with threading/machining where does the fault lie ? the CAD drawing, the conversion to CNC file, or something else entirely ?

Is/was the mk2 Vendetta a sorted design ?

Well as far as I am aware the mk2 is and all things being equal I should receive mine built up in the next couple of weeks

As stated above the mk2 vendetta block is suffering some of the same issues and other issues as above..... I also have a mk2 as well as the PP block. Hopefully this week will put a review together

The production blocks were meant to be perfect and offered as replacements for the preproduction blocks but also suffered massive blunders by the new company machining them. Bob failed to check them again before sending them out to paying customers. Yes the company who made them should have inspected them and found the faults but they didn’t. Bob refused to send them back and have them remade after being told to do so by myself (a CNC and manual machinist by trade) and other machinists by trade.

The company doing the machining is meant to be ISO 9001 certified, this means they have traceability and inspection for every step of the process along with final inspection with calibrated equipment. This was not followed and therefore the company has a responsibility to take the items back and remanufacture them to the correct specification for no additional fee.

I have a pre production block and a production block, both have been with me to my work and been inspected and found to be out of spec. The pre production was made to work but the production one I’ve just lost interest in now, I may attempt to make it work yet.

I was a day one supporter of this project and even offered to help Bob with the CAD work. I’ve given advice and so have many other far more experienced machinists along the way. I really wanted this to work but they just haven’t.
