    I keep hearing that this winter will be bad for manufacturing in Europe.

    When did I ever say that I support those things?

    I keep hearing that this winter will be bad for manufacturing in Europe.

    You are judging why something is said rather than the content of the message itself. Why not simply ask the motive? You are acting like any speech that questions what you believe must be from the enemy. How is that fair? Furthermore; how do you know that you're always right? For the past year...

    I keep hearing that this winter will be bad for manufacturing in Europe.

    How do you know that all of those instances are real? I am not claiming they are false... but are you 100% sure that everything you see is true? In order to maintain support from it's citizens; a government needs moral justification to take military action. Crimes against humanity are the...

    I said may because I cannot say for certain. You are definitely correct about his perspective not being representative of Europe, that's why I like to keep an eye on what Hungary is doing. Speaking of authoritarian; have you seen the protests in France sparked by Macron's decision to bypass...

    I mean, he is the leader of a nation. Whatever you think of him; the guy knows more than we do. Didn't you profess the virtue of disseminating information from sources you may not agree with? It's just a different perspective from a source much closer to the conflict is all. I think...

    Ever try to argue with a meth head? They'll carry on your conversation, 2 in their head and 1 with the dog across the street all at the same time. Lol

    Ebay's latest personal info harvest

    Is that what I said? No, it isn't and you know it. Some people are always looking for a reason to be a dick, do not be one of them. As a customer; I buy tooling on eBay because I can find good deals shipped in a reasonable timeframe; that is the truth. Although I will say that shipping speed is...

    I keep hearing that this winter will be bad for manufacturing in Europe.

    Yeah, I suppose I could see that as a consequential outcome but to say it is the authors sole intent; I think that would be throwing the baby out with the bath water. The examples given in the article are factually true and do not require imagination to get there. Sometimes that sucks and the...

    Ebay's latest personal info harvest

    I don't shop at Walmart either and I'm not on Facebook... But If you start a site, please send me a link and I'll add you to the list. **A list doesn't exist yet so please nobody pm me asking for it***

    Ebay's latest personal info harvest

    Can you pm me your website? I'm always interested in new sources. FWIW; the reason eBay is asking for that information is to comply with banking regulations. Crypto brokers do the same thing. They will let you buy cryptocurrency and they will hold it for you but you cannot remove it from their...

    I keep hearing that this winter will be bad for manufacturing in Europe.

    This is exactly the point I was (and have been) trying to convey - albeit not nearly as well articulated as the author of that article. Too many people these days have far too much trust in information sources. It is easy to get sucked right into the propaganda without an assessment of...

    I keep hearing that this winter will be bad for manufacturing in Europe.

    Call me old fashioned I guess Lol! Shipped 250 units last month. Working on a reweld for R&D right now. Checking the forums and sharpening tungsten while sections cool between passes. 😉

    I keep hearing that this winter will be bad for manufacturing in Europe.

    Yes Yes Really The greatest generation. The last Americans who fought and died in Europe. Someone will always be trying to take over europe it's just the way it is. Read history and prove me wrong. What do you mean "retro thinking"? Did you know; in the 1780's James Madison wrote about the...

    I keep hearing that this winter will be bad for manufacturing in Europe.

    We can go back to 1914 and find people making the same point about the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Americans are finished dying for Europe. Call me when the Russians get to New York, we can talk then.

    Toolholders for TSC drills

    You are heading in the right direction for sure, TSC is great. I rarely ever use flood coolant for anything; even my solid endmill holders are TSC. Last month I had a job drilling a lot of 9xD holes through carbon steel that was cladded with a particular superalloy. It was brutal but it would...

    At whits end with a employee

    I get bored easily. Making 10 identical widgets on a manual mill or lathe feels like torture at times. Machining is fun, production is not. It sounds like the kid might be starting to realize that. It got pretty bad for me about 5 years in. "Why am I here?" "Will I be punching someone else's...

    First VMC

    😬 yeah, that's rough. Don't feel bad, I've been running CNCs for 15 years; last Monday I got in a hurry and turned a Renshaw probe into a hammer 🙄.

    Toolholders for TSC drills

    Yep, most of the production level carbide drills do; they also last for 3000+ holes. Do the the HSS drills you're using have through holes for coolant? Edit: These are the drills I use. I have used hundreds of Walter, Kennametal and Guhring drills, Guhring takes the win for sure...
