With regards to their honing products... over the last few months, Sunnen's customer service, lead time, and various other factors have become worse and worse. Anyone else noticing this issue?- swiss blade

"Employee Entitlement"
A lot of places are running into that.. we have too. It all comes down to how much they're worth to the company/you. Human nature is greedy; they'll always want more. Even if you gave them four weeks they'd want five. I'd say your benefits seem pretty legit. Our company goes... 3 personal days...- swiss blade

Draftsight Entity Snap inaccuracy
The problem is this "Draftsite" .... It sucks. I would recommend checking out something like TurboCAD. It's fairly cheap, like around $100 and it works well. I used it for a while before I upgraded to Mastercam- swiss blade

0.2505 Drill???
Totally agree... I should ream it. Yep. But, I am out of tool space in my Vertical Mill. I don't need the hole to be exactly 0.2505, just no less than .250. I am using a 1/4 right now and it is just a smidge small for the mating part.- swiss blade

0.2505 Drill???
Is there anywhere I can get a 0.2505 drill? I know I could always buy one oversize and grind it down, but would rather not expend that cost if possible...- swiss blade

Infinite Helix Chips on Ti
I am turning 1/4 Ti down to 3/16. I am taking it off in one pass. And I am running this in a Citizen L12. The Tool Nose Radius is .007.- swiss blade

Infinite Helix Chips on Ti
Hey y'all. I am cutting 6AL4V Titanium and getting some really "rat's nest" looking, long chips. They are balling up around the work and making a real mess. I am cutting at 2500rpm, 0.0025 Feed, and 0.032 DOC. Anybody find a sweet spot running Ti they'd be willing to share?- swiss blade

Cincinnati Milacron Sale Price ??
I was at an auction today and saw a big Cincinnati Milacron lathe running on tape go for $200. I am pretty sure the guy bought it for scrap. Should I have jumped on it? Or was it not worth much more?- swiss blade
