In this room, you’ll be blocked from progressing by a barrier of light. Destroy the blue crystal hanging from the wall to get rid of the barrier. The next room has a trap, but your party can avoid it by heading through the tunnel behind it.

These options, which include thermal, abrasive flow, electrochemical, and high-pressure water, effectively remove excess material but they also build time into the manufacturing process and add to costs.

The more ideal option, however, for many aerospace operations is to integrate deburring into the automated process with a simple, effective crosshole deburring tool such as the Flex-Hone from Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM). By doing so, operators can speed up the manufacturing process and ensure uniform quality for precision parts.

Continue through the now open door to the north and follow the path to the next large room, where the inquisitor Ch’r’ai W’wargaz is waiting. After the ensuing drama is resolved, head to the west side, to the alcove with a pair of statues on either side. Facing west, the statue on the left must be rotated so it is also facing west, while the statue on the right should be facing east. The left statue will likely require grease from a bottle, the spell, or a scroll.

This leads to another room with a similar trap, and this time it should be disarmed carefully, because it can push your party off the cliff nearby. Next walk up to the cliff and destroy the Energy Source to destroy the barrier blocking your way.

Despite the challenges, the removal of burrs from the production process is an absolute must for the high quality, precision parts required in aerospace. In many applications, cross-drilled holes act as conduits for fluids, lubricants and gases. Failing to remove burrs can cause blockage of these critical passages or create turbulence in the flow. Burrs can also lead to part misalignments, affect dimensional tolerances, and limit the overall efficiency of machined components.

Once you’ve placed the final weapon, a stone panel on the north will slide open, revealing a pouch with the Dawnmaster’s Crest, which is needed to retrieve the Blood of Lathendar. The next step is available after reaching the Githyanki Creche.

According to Orange Vise’s Scott, although the Flex-Hone is often used with automated production equipment it can also be used for secondary deburring options offline as needed.

Available in sizes ranging from very small diameter hones (4mm) to those up to 36 inches or more in diameter (a size appropriate for large engine cylinder bores), these deburring tools can be custom designed to the size, shape and abrasive grit to fit any application’s needs.

Spaulding particularly appreciates how the flexible hone’s abrasive globules each have independent suspension that is self-centring, self-aligning to the bore, and self-compensating for wear, all of which facilitate close-tolerance finishing work.

Characterised by the small, abrasive globules that are permanently mounted to flexible filaments, the product is a flexible, low cost tool utilised for sophisticated surfacing, deburring and edge-blending.

To take your first step in collecting the Blood of Lathander, you’ll need four items to place on the various pedestals on the top floor. Luckily, one has already been collected as an example. The other three items you’ll need are the Ceremonial Warhammer, the Ceremonial Battleaxe, and the Rusty Mace.

Once you have the final weapon, head back up the stairs to the divine guardian room. Go west, to an area with collapsed flooring, then north to the room with the massive stained glass design in the floor. The glass is meant to hint at which weapon goes to each pedestal, but we can simply give you the answer here.

Next is the Ceremonial Battleaxe, which is similarly guarded by an enemy. From the eagle’s nest, use the knotted roots to the east to climb down to a hallway with a glowing door.

According to Scott, flexible hones are ideal because it is a cost-effective solution to smooth edges and produce a blended radius for crosshole deburring.

For best results, the deburring tool is typically rotated into the main bore into which the crossholes break. After a few clockwise strokes, the tool is removed and the spindle reversed to rotate and stroke the flexible hone in a counter-clockwise direction for a few more strokes.

“The hone conforms to whatever you are working with, even if it’s irregular,” he says. “For example, if the back side of the part is not flat or not on consistent level plane in Z, the tool is flexible enough to still remove any burrs.”

“It is really about accessibility, because there aren’t many tools that can do this,” he says. “Whether it is internal grooves or multiple cross-holes, there is really no way to reach those areas with any other tool we have found.”

The final tool you’ll need is the rusty mace, which is found in much poorer condition. From the room with the divine guardian, head south and down the steps, jumping to the next set of stairs to reach the first floor. Then head north and destroy the planks on the western wall, heading through afterwards. Move to the south, where you’ll find a massive pile of rubble, along with a skeleton and the rusty mace.

“The tool can be used in CNC machines and also with a cordless drill,” says Scott. “So, if you manage to deburr 90% of the holes in a machine, but have a few left you can’t access easily, you can use it with a handheld drill and maintain the uniformity in surface finish and process.”

Walk up to the central mechanism and insert the Dawnmaster’s Crest. The scene that plays next will grant you the Blood of Lathander, a powerful legendary mace that allows the wielder to use a Level 6 Sunbeam spell once per long rest, in addition to a once per long rest heal when health is reduced to 0. This brings the quest to an end.

Once inside, head north, speaking to the gith along the way so you have permission to explore freely. Heading west at the intersection leads to the tadpole purification device, and the nursery where a githyanki egg can be found, but you’ll need to head east for the relic. When you reach the captain’s quarters, speak to Kith’rak Therezzyn and show her the artefact. The rest of the interaction will result in her giving you access to the inquisitor’s chamber.

Additional customisation from BRM in a variety of shapes is also possible to meet the requirements of non-traditional applications. This includes spherical-end configurations, stepped or multi-diameter configurations for double diameters and counter-bores, tapered or cone shapes, segmented shapes, or combining Flex-Hone globules with other filament materials.

“Getting rid of burrs is really important because if there is any loose material that gets dislodged when the product is in use, it can cause major problems,” says Anthony Scott, lead machinist at Orange Vise Company, a manufacturer of machine vices and quick change fixturing components used throughout aerospace.

Find the Blood of Lathander is a side quest in Baldur's Gate 3 that leads to a powerful holy relic - The Blood of Lathander. As such, it requires finding several items and solving a few puzzles to successfully retrieve it, so this walkthrough will guide you through the various steps required to collect your powerful prize.

Prototypes of the US Air Force's sixth generation fighter jet, which is meant to be deployed in 2030, have already flown in secret.

To start this quest, you’ll need to enter the Rosymorn Monastery and reach the central room on the first floor. When observing the plaque on the central statue, you’ll find a reference to the Blood of Lathander, a powerful holy relic. This interaction will add the quest to your journal.

From here, there are vines leading right up to the roof of the building. Just southeast of where you landed, you’ll meet a pair of eagles, which you can pacify with the proper checks. Otherwise, kill them, then check their nest after the fight. Inside you’ll find a Ceremonial Warhammer, which is needed to obtain the Blood of Lathander.

When both statues are facing the correct direction, the stone wall at the end will slide open, revealing a secret passage. Follow it to the door and head into the newly revealed region.

Despite the ceremonial nature of these weapons, the rusty mace is meant to hint that any weapon will work, as long as it fits the category of the intended weapon. If you have a spare battleaxe and warhammer, feel free to use those instead, but it’s not too much extra effort to retrieve the ceremonial weapons.

Pick the lock, or head southeast through the door and blow up the northern wall to enter the room. Once inside, you’ll need to defeat the divine guardian, which shouldn’t be too difficult with a full party - any damage it inflicts is also removed from its health pool, so it’ll eventually destroy itself. When it’s gone, search the area around it for the Ceremonial Battleaxe.

First to collect is the Ceremonial Warhammer. It’s located up on the roof of the monastery, which you can reach by entering the kobold room on the west side. Leaving the room through the northwest exit allows you to jump up to the second floor.

To reach the Githyanki Creche, you’ll need to head down to the first floor, where you read the plaque regarding the Blood of Lathander. To the north is a pair of staircases that lead down to the creche.
