What kind of holder is the cutter in? Gage length of the holder makes a big difference.

Any chance on chucking up the threaded portion in a collet? It'll help keep the drill concentric to the threads versus the head of the bolt. I know your wall at the root of the thread isn't much, but...

I'm thinking vacuum fixture. If you can have stock face on one side, this would be a 1OP part.

These gnomes know what they're doing. I bet it would work for bananas as well. South Park Underpants Gnomes Profit Plan - YouTube

At least he responded to your text. I would bet your first thought was right and he got another job offer, and just didn't have the balls to do the right thing. Good luck finding another employee.

Something didn't necessarily prompt this. It's possible he just didn't want to do the work and said fuck it. I've had the same thing happen. Each time you wonder what you did to push the person out,...

Have you tried deleting the M05 on that line to make sure it is the issue? If it is, the program should run fine after, if not it should stop at G00X1.

Your part is long enough where you can just probe the back left corner of the fixed jaw for X&Y. With as much stock as you have, eyeballing it to the edge is good enough for OP1. For OP2, put a...

It doesn't look like powdercoat to me. I haven't seen any powdercoat that flakes off like that.

I've really liked the Scientific Cutting Tools Corner rounders. They hold up very well.

This is what we do as well.

Good luck. I'm 36 and haven't had any replacements, but have had my ACL done twice and both knees scoped. The best piece of advice I got, was to work on flexing the muscles around your knee as often...

Thanks for the confirmation Chip. After talking with another tech, he said the guy was full of it and he must have been thinking this was a CO2 laser. The tech I'm talking to now is pretty baffled as...

We picked up an Epilog Fibermark 24 30 watt laser in the summer of 2018 and it had been doing great up until now. We only run it on average 1hour/ week. Recently we started having issues with the...

Is this a question or just a statement? We do this on occasion if needed as well. In particular, we have one part that requires a .22" full radius so we use an indexable ball end mill as a bore bar....

You can get some Z mismatch if rapiding to final Z point. If it is, Change it to a feed move of 200ipm for the last .100". That may help. However, it is concerning you have .008" of movement when...

Here's a machinability chart for ya. It's got the basics on it. Plenty of other ones out there if you need.

If you're after a good surface finish and stability, you're probably going to be after...

Good luck with that. Our ST10Y had 1500 hours or so on it and Haas had to do a complete overhaul on it. $25k later, it was usable again(aside from the random A axis alarm we still get). Luckily after...

If you run a lot of resharps, or are running lights out, I can see a benefit to it.

We don't use it all. If it's a tight tolerance feature I just comp it a bit to see how the tools cutting, then...

You could try any online auto parts seller... I get wanting to help the little guys, but if they won't enforce a mask policy then they don't care enough about your business.

I second the Tang Grip. Very nice parting tool.

Pro vaccine once they have a better understanding of it and the side effects. I'm not buying the 90% effectiveness yet. The flu vaccine is supposed to be 60% effective or something along those lines....

Just picked up one of those Orange Delta IV's. Hoping to get it in the machine Wednesday to check it out. Gotta say, I am disappointed with the lack of deburring on the jaws. Looks like they ran a...
