Engraving. What do you use?
I use a lot of different tools for different materials and applications, center drills are my favorite for most of our engraving jobs.- dylskee

HAAS DM2 or Brother S700X1?
I have been working on Brothers for 26 years and Haas for about 18 years, we still have both at the shop. I will say 10-12 years ago Haas was a great bang for the buck machine but they are priced up there with everyone else now. I will say that Haas service is terrible nowadays and most of them...- dylskee

Looks like a nice machine! We're in the market again for a couple machines so maybe I'll look into this and put it on the list. What kind of money do these start at?- dylskee

Stay in shape for CNC work.
I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to say something about that? EVERY post is an advertisement for this guy, getting very old! And now he's spamming a workout program for a friend? Anyone else would be crucified here for a lot less.....- dylskee

Daewoo Mynx NM410 orientation problems
You need to elaborate a lot more on your specific problem if you actually want to receive some help. What exactly are you having problems with, your question is pretty vague at best. Give some details and I'm sure you'll get some helpful responses.- dylskee

First experience with a variable helix end mill.
I pretty much use variable helix end mills exclusively now, I use dynamic tool paths on almost all my parts now. I use Volumill in Gibbscam and I use an application called MillingAdvisor, it gives you both conservative and aggressive speeds and feeds based on the parameters you enter. Works...- dylskee

CNC Pay Rates.
$16.00-$36.00 an hour here in Central MA, depends on a lot of variables but 90% of the jobs require you to go through a temp agency now and I think that's awful! Most shops around here are starving for "Real" programmers and are willing to pay great wages but fail to find people who can actually...- dylskee

32 Surface Finish In Counterbore
We don't have a profilometer that will reach that feature, the customer doesn't either so they asked us for a uniform smooth finish. I have to have a first article part for them tomorrow. The part also has a trepan on the face of the part that requires a 32 finish and we can check that with our...- dylskee

32 Surface Finish In Counterbore
Nope, nothing about that. But I guess this part will be under about 1500 PSI so the seals will play a big roll in the parts success.- dylskee

32 Surface Finish In Counterbore
Yes, I'm using a solid carbide 1/2" diameter end mill. I think the smallest insert cutter I have is a 5/8" and that would require me to plunge onto the surface. I guess I could try ramping onto the surface but my guess would be that it will leave too much of a mark. I will check Monday and see...- dylskee

32 Surface Finish In Counterbore
I have a job for a couple hundred parts that I need to pocket, counterbore and thread mill in 4140 Annealed steel. My problem is I need to hold a 32 finish on the bottom face of the c'bored hole and I'm having trouble doing that with an end mill. Can anyone give me some advice for this type of...- dylskee

Tool probe location
That's bull! I left enough room to use a 1/2" pin for calibration so I left about 3/8" on both the X and Y. 2" is ridiculous and a total waste of space!- dylskee
