EXTRACTED REQUEST: clean this up Ok I believe I understand now. The assembly I sent you a picture of is the one we are modifying and the attached are ones you just need us to reproduce. The biggest issue with simply reproducing the attached files are the plate sizes, we will need to update everything to American so we don't have fit up issues. For Example 3mm Plate is .1181 inches. We do not have that, the closest American standard mat

1. clean this up Ok I believe I understand now. The assembly I sent you a picture of is the one we are modifying and the attached are ones you just need us to reproduce. The biggest issue with simply reproducing the attached files are the plate sizes, we will need to update everything to American so we don't have fit up issues. For Example 3mm Plate is .1181 inches. We do not have that, the closest American standard material thickness is 11 Gauge steel at .1196 inches. It doesn't seem like much but for the attached P…
2. the guy replied with this so far that tolerance is more than acceptable , so if you need we ca have a fast meeting where i do approve all the different size that you are willing to have, so you can use the material that you have in stock
3. yes but if they are not willing to send the solid works files I will need to redraw everything which will take a long time I can't use their drawings I dont think
4. clean this up for me eIt will take me a day or 2 if not longer to go through the Large Assembly we are modifying and get it all ready to go and then I will move on to the other parts. so if you can get them by the end of the week that would be good. We will send approval drawings for everything, if you want to clear the air that it is ok to sub materials I think an email would be good enough. I can have Chase set up a meeting if you would like though

ASSISTANT RESPONSES:
1. Here's a cleaner, more natural version: :::writing{variant="email" id="51284" subject="Assembly and Plate Thickness Clarification"} I believe I understand now. The assembly I sent you a picture of is the one we will be modifying, and the attached files are the components you would like us to reproduce. The biggest challenge with reproducing the attached files is the material thicknesses. We will need to convert everything to standard American material sizes to avoid fit-up issues during fabrication. For example, the drawings call for 3 mm plate, which is 0.1181" thick. That material thickness is not a standard size that we stock. The closest standard American material is 11 gauge steel, which is 0.1196" thick.…
2. That's actually a good response from them. They're basically saying they approve using your standard material sizes as long as you both agree on the substitutions. I'd reply with something like this: :::writing{variant="email" id="16874" subject="RE: Material Thicknesses"} That sounds good to me. I will go through the drawings and create a list of any material thicknesses or sizes that need to be converted to standard American materials. Once I have that list together, we can have a quick meeting to review and approve each substitution before I begin redrawing the parts. That way we can ensure everything is manufactured using readily available materials while maintaining the intended fit and function of the as…
3. :::writing{variant="email" id="84271" subject="Project Timeline and Material Approval"} It will take me a day or two, possibly longer, to go through the large assembly we are modifying and get everything ready to move forward. After that, I will begin working on the remaining parts. If you're able to obtain the SOLIDWORKS files by the end of the week, that would be a big help. We will provide approval drawings for everything before manufacturing. If you're comfortable approving the use of equivalent American material sizes, I think an email confirming that would be sufficient. If you would prefer to discuss the substitutions together, I can have Chase set up a meeting. :::

EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO
- Here's a cleaner, more natural version: :::writing{variant="email" id="51284" subject="Assembly and Plate Thickness Clarification"} I believe I understand now.
- The assembly I sent you a picture of is the one we will be modifying, and the attached files are the components you would like us to reproduce.
- The biggest challenge with reproducing the attached files is the material thicknesses.
- We will need to convert everything to standard American material sizes to avoid fit-up issues during fabrication.
- For example, the drawings call for 3 mm plate, which is 0.1181" thick.
- That material thickness is not a standard size that we stock.
- The closest standard American material is 11 gauge steel, which is 0.1196" thick.
- While the difference is small, it can affect how the assembly fits together.
