Hi All:
So I normally grind custom tools but for this new job I need indexables.
I have Sandvik Coromant Coroturn 107 bars with 35 degree included angle inserts...perfect for what I have to do.
But I need a bar that orients the insert a bit differently from the bars I have.
So I go into the Sandvik web site to try to find something.
What a frustrating piece of shit!
I can't call up a page that shows me all the Coroturn 107 bars that take a VBMT 03 02 PF insert I want to look at.
When I eventually find the boring bar page I can see puny thumbnails of HUNDREDS of bars and external turning tools (WTF??) that are so small they show me nothing, and if I click on one to expand it and it's the wrong one, I can't close the window, go back and pick another.
I can't pick by insert
I can't see all the bars they offer for that insert so I can choose one
They have promo photos in their catalog scattered throughout it, but I can't just click on a photo and go to the page that offers these tools.
Am I fucking STUPID or is this site the un intuitive crap show I think it is.
I've been fucking around in it for an hour and I still can't make it work.
I'm about ready to make my own Godddamn bar and never buy from these assholes again.
Let's not even talk about the tool recommender function they are supposed to have.
I fill in the table
I look all over the fucking page to find a button to accept my inputs.
I find it and it's greyed out.
I look for unfilled fields.
I click on every frickin' button on the whole fucking page to see if I've missed something.
No Joy.
So what moron designed this ...what do they think they're doing?
Sandvik makes good tools but they sure don't know shit about making good websites!
They need to learn from McMaster Carr.
OK, rant off...I'm going to call my local tooling guy on Monday and just drop this whole baby into his lap.
You poor guys who have to do this all the time...I'd be bonkers by now if this was the sort of nonsense I'd have to go through all day.
Oh wait...I'm already bonkers.
Cheers
