Stub carbide drills..........
I found a few more total of 14. Also including the 7/8 Kyocera carbide end mill, 2 unused Imco 1/4 end mills and few other random carbide end mills. Everything for $150. Free shipping. Thought I'd try one last time before going to the scrapyard.- Mark P.

To everyone who owns a cnc machine please read
Our Fryer VB-60 came with the Siemens touch 2100 control. I don't know how many times in the first few months, some shit would happen and I'd lose everything. The control would revert back to German. It was a nightmare. They eventually straightened everything out. Expanded the tool and program...- Mark P.

Hiring new workers and pay scale of current workers, what options are there?
LOL...when I first started, I was making $6.25 an hour...yikes. But yes it is depressing, I've seen shops offering starting wages at $12-14 an hour. Who the hell is that going to attract?- Mark P.

Hiring new workers and pay scale of current workers, what options are there?
In an industry that is clearly understaffed and wanting of anyone to walk through their doors, it's a joke. The guy that offered me $18.50 an hour actually hounded me for months prior to our business closing. I was prepared to go to work for the guy. After that offer, I think it pushed me to...- Mark P.

A new inflation reading shows the small business tipping point has been reached
Didn't grow them...BUT made them happy. Bluejays, starlings, junkos, chickadees, cardinals, three kinds of woodpeckers, finches, chickadees, nuthatches...etc. And the stupid squirrels and deer eating from the feeders.- Mark P.

Dorian Dovetail Cutter and APT Chamfer tool
That is cool I never noticed it. It is under a LED light. From your formula, I need to be in the $75 and lower range on the dovetail and chamfer tools. Next warm weekend, I need to actually lay things out and organize in lots. I've got carbide drills and mills by the computer, mics and...- Mark P.

A new inflation reading shows the small business tipping point has been reached
It's funny I was looking for a receipt for something today. 40# of bird seed was $19.99 last year at a big box store, jumped to $20.99 in the late fall and is now $21.99....for F-ing bird seed.- Mark P.

Do I belong here?
Looking back, I realize how lucky I was. My dad taught me everything I know. We never got along great when I lived at home BUT he was the absolute most patient, positive and knowledgeable teacher I could have ever had coming into a profession I knew zero about. That in itself instilled a passion... -

Do I belong here?
Some can be a bit abrasive on here. As my dad always told me, consider the source. Shrug it off. There are plenty of really bright people on here willing to help. I've got 30+ years of machining experience and try to offer what little I know. I walked away from machining and pursued a different... -

O.T. ~ Get medical checkups.
Had a colonoscopy at 45. Got a pass until 55. They had me do the Cologard. Everything ok. I've made use of the paid physicals since my later 40's. I was a little overweight then and the blood numbers were a little off. Went a little extreme with everything. Went from 211 to 170. I started... -

Machining fads you have seen come and go
Conversational programming!?! I used the shit out of it for machining at our shop. Unfortunately, it hasn't done me any favors in the job market.
