Step 13
- Use
the Node Edit Tool to nudge all of the nodes indicated by the red
squares down 0.15 inches.
- Nudge
a duplicate of this shape up 0.30 inches.
- Start
node editing and trimming to create the depth.
- The
lower right illustration shows a completed washer. Avoid the
temptation to try to extrude this object. It will produce too many
nodes and a symbol more in keeping with our competitors’ stuff.
The color coding is for clarification.

Step 14
External Tooth Lock Washer
- Get
a duplicate copy of the 8.00 inch circle, reduce it to 7.00 inches.
Dupe it again and reduce it to 6.00 inches (lock on). Combine both
circles (Ctrl+L). Create a rectangle 0.75 inch wide by 0.98 inches
high and center everything.
- Dupe
and drag the rectangles into the position shown – exactly 8.00
inches tall. And combine (Ctrl+L) them. Use the Transform Docker to
apply a rotation of 30 degrees to a duplicate 5 times.
- Weld
the result together.
- Apply
a vertical stretch on 57.3 percent to the trimmed circles.
