If we wanted to have a go in this potentially new and exciting area of mechanical production, how would we go about producing hardened tools?
The problem that I foresee is that our methods of hardening will result in a case that exists for the whole geometry of a miniature cutting edge, and therefore liable to fracture.
From what I understand nanotechnology is not done on microscopic lathes or milling machines, so there is no requirement for microscopic cutting tools. In nanotechnology products are made from atoms, with the costs involved I cannot foresee this being done in the homeworkshop.

Unfortunately, you omitted to take note of the posting date. I'm afraid you seem to have been April Beaned.

Posted post midday though - so dibs on him eh?

So are you admitting defeat before even starting?

I see that the infantile traders are still around with their rather silly and childish remarks.....
Will they ever grow up? I doubt it.
Having mastered the art of machining in the world of nanotechnology with purely manual machines I find no problems whatsoever regarding the hardening of the cutting edges. However my next development is rather fraught with difficulties and that is getting the electronics to a micro miniature nano state for the control of my projected CNC nano vertical machining centre (NVMC). Only last week I had to drill and tap 500 holes of M0.0000001 to ISO fine pitch on a plate of L168 ali 0.0003mm x 0.0004mm x 0.000002 thick. Cheers

Stupid boy.
Rubbish.
Constructed on the nanoscale, liability to fracture is reduced.
Your knowledge of fracture is very poor, as you have clearly failed to grasp the very basics of the subject.

In the back of the fridge, maybe.

Tony,
I knew it was a wind up, admittedly I forgot it was also April 1st.

If you think that a serious suggestion that we should progress in modern practices of mechanics is a wind-up, then more fool you.
Have you ever considered a career as a plod? They're renowned for their stupidity, I'm sure you'd fit in well.

I have some involvement with this technology and propose that if the fabrication limitations are understood then there is opportunity for innovation to achieve the function within those limitations. When this is done the resultant concept can be fabricated 10X or 100X as a demonstration vehicle.
