Dang.... folks punking the dude for wanting to do a project. Like the project isn't "worthy" enough.

Talk about scaring off the...

That's quite a good little article by RP (he wrote no bad ones). There are a number of books on the subject as well. If anyone is interested I can find...

Most probes come with a little clip that goes on the end of the bare probe. It connects to the ground ring, and has a "tail" the same length...

I suppose that has to do with the accuracy you want. And I never said you could not get to the accuracy, just that you may not get it just from tightening...

[J Tiers]

Eh, you have no right to assume the work will be perfect at some distance out from the chuck, many reasons why that may not be the case, and not all have...

Even with signal grounding you may not get good results from the typically recommended "star" grounding.

The "real" goal...

"Judgemental garbage" like: "If you think I might be talking about you (when I mention A-holes), then I am"? The weasel words are...

Best advice in this whole thread....

You are 100% correct. I have no clue why anyone would argue against that. What on earth were their reasons?

As you would know very well,...

That is a little obtuse, but it seems you are directly calling all posters in the thread ass-holes, with a kind of fake disclaimer intended to make it...

And not to bop you on the head.......😉...

That is really not true. It LOOKS true, but actually it is misleading.

The fundamental issue is misunderstanding frequency and frequency...

It might....

You can tap a nail, and it does not even have a hole in it!

Worse yet, you can tap it with a tap, a die, a hammer,...

Not entirely, but "somewhat".

The thing about audio is that there are large peak power levels in music, but the average power is...

Ah Ha!

How is the bearing area where the scroll ID meets a journal on the chuck? Hardly anyone ever thinks about that area, but I have...

Super score on the lab bench/desk.

Yes, cheaper chucks can be good....
