Back in the day, I was the programmer... operator comes in and tells me my 5/32" EM program is giving a bad surface finish. I figured I better walk out and take a look. Everything looked good on the setup. EM length was sucked up tight, RPM and Feed looked good for that size EM. Fixture was solid. ER32 Collet holder. Started walking back to my office to figure out this mystery... when I paused and asked when we got 5/32" ER32 collets. Operator told me that we hadn't so he just shoved a 5/32 ER20 Collet into a 7/8" ER32 collet. Didn't work so good. Man I'm glad I don't have employees anymore... especially that one. He asked for a recommendation after he got fired. I told them that this employee will go far, the sooner he starts the better.

Had a guy that was a meth head... Found Jesus, married a nice church girl.. He was learning.. Learning his Algebra and
Trig.. He was even programming on his own... Fagor 8025, no help, he could do it (and that is not an easy control and not
the simplest programming language). Getting it pretty well on the Mazatrol and I was teaching his some Cad/Cam stuff..
He was doing really well, and he was excited about learning...

And then...

The day I figured he got back into meth was when he was setting tools and there were reamers in set screw holders.. A .172
reamer in a .250 set screw holder, and the few collet holders he did use... He put DA's in the ER's.

Up there to me that looks like an ISO or NMTB 40 friction welded into a BT30..

No need for safety glasses at that point since when the tool holder comes out its going to take out your whole face, glasses or not.

Had a guy here put a 1/4" endmill in a 1/2" side lock holder and ran it. :nutter:

Saw that too. Seems about right for MSC doesn't it? There biggest claim to fame is they destroyed J&L and for round two the took out Enco.

I'm guessing it was probably a good strategic move on their part but man it...upsets me still.

A new way to do trochoidal milling!

Atomkinder · Sep 29, 2016

In school I saw a student put a 1" drill in a Bridgeport and then call the instructor over to ask why it wasn't milling worth a damn.

I think it was the only time I ever saw him curse at a student.

Apparently these guys really make the rounds.

Now that's funny. I wonder if it came out of a stock photo library or someone actually setup and staged that photo for their manufacturing related business. :wrong:

Nah, it's a flash photo ... in the middle of a tool change.

And now, a story of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumbass, told in pictures:

Aside from the fact the idiots have the wrong toolholder stuck in that poor mill, with no tool in the collet I might add, WTF do they think they are measuring with a tape measure?

Their machining knowledge.

Obviously they are calibrating the digital readout.

Midas969 · Sep 29, 2016

How did they get that tool holder to stay up in there. Shouldn't it just fall out?
