Emile is correct, just take your grinder with a flexible disk and buff the high area down. Just place the hatch on the land and use feeler gauges to find the gaps and mark them with your chalk. The fixable disk is very slow at removing material, so you have plenty of control. I had the same problem with my land on my escape pod and I fixed it easily. I got it to within .004 and it went to 638 feet. Don't panic about a little gap. Just buff then check then buff then check...... oh ya, you can use super coarse disks.</span></div><div><span>Hank</span></div> <div><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div style="display:block;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"> On Monday, February 1, 2016 6:29 PM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div><div><div><div style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><div>Got to straighten this hatch thing out. Emile suggested that it would be possible to grind/ sand down to get flat, sounds a bit harsh, not sure how I would go about doing that. I need to get a flat surface, like a granite surface plate or a piece of glass so I can determine flatness. I knew I shouldn't have welded those hinge flanges on after welding, but I had assurances that it wouldn't deform anything ! Last time I take advice like that ! That side pulled up just slightly so I would have to turn or grind down about 2/3 rds of the hatch by about 75 thousandths to make everything level.</div><div> </div><div>Brian <br clear="none"><br clear="none">--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none">From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none">To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none">Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Got vacuum !<br clear="none">Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 23:18:46 +0000 (UTC)<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div><span>Any idea when your going to test her?</span></div><div><span>Hank</span></div> <div><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div style="display:block;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"> On Monday, February 1, 2016 4:18 PM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div><div><div><div style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><div>Thanks Hank, Good feeling !</div><div> </div><div>Brian<br clear="none"><br clear="none">--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none">From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none">To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none">Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Got vacuum !<br clear="none">Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 22:45:04 +0000 (UTC)<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div><span>Brian </span></div><div><span>A big satisfying mile stone, congratulations!</span></div><div><span>Hank</span></div> <div><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div style="display:block;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"> On Monday, February 1, 2016 1:40 PM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div><div><div style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><div>That's encouraging !</div><div> </div><div>Brian<br clear="none"><br clear="none">--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none">From: Emile van Essen via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none">To: "'Personal Submersibles General Discussion'" <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none">Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Got vacuum !<br clear="none">Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 21:18:33 +0100<br clear="none"><br clear="none">

All, My subs sitting with
26" of Hg over at my shop !! Did have a bit
of a problem however, I had to clamp the hatch down because I have a
slight warp, probably from a couple of welds done after machining, should be
able to remedy that with another trip to the big lathe.</span></font>
