    Ongoing unrest in Russia

    If they started hanging for that again it might help deter it some.

    What are the best end-mills???

    1018 I could believe that speed. I set all my endmills to rough out 4340 at 500SFM, but these are on dual contact 50 taper machines that you could put your little dinky TM machine in and turn it into chips. From the tests I've done for the price, MA Ford and Niagara can't be beat for pushing...

    Have you tried apologizing to whatever god you may have pissed off?

    Moon landing or or not?

    Last guy who tried to tell Buzz he didn't go to the moon didn't fare so well. Maybe you should build your own rocket to get there. I mean the flat earther who thought he knew better did, though the only thing that wound up being flat was him after his parachute failed. But you're obviously...

    New type of anti-vibration bars - MAQ AB

    We've gotten 1 or 2 of them to test out in the smaller sizes (3/4-1"). From what I've heard from our tool guy who quoted some of the larger size bars we use often (2" and up) they are cheaper than Sandvik ( though with their prices it's not that difficult). As far as if they work, the operator...

    What’s going on at Boeing

    You just reminded me of a dark joke that I saw after the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared, which also happened to be a Boeing: I'm taking a vacation to Malaysia, but I don't think I'll shower before the trip. I figure I'll just wash up on shore.

    "Win the Lottery" Home Garage Machine(s)?

    I'd buy the most bad ass food truck I could. Screw the hotdog cart.

    Handheld dot peen markers

    Because if you make a part that goes into the ground or is in some other highly abrasive environment, it's the best alternative to having to engrave all of your parts. I know I sure miss the old school stamped plates on motors to see what the specs are compared to the new printed plates that...

    Walmart moron.

    Couple million years ago a badass 10 ton dinosaur was walking through the forest when a massive rock fell from the sky and nuked his ass. Shit happens, you do what you can to mitigate it. Sometimes there isn't shit you can do. Yes he became the favored target by a piece of shit because he saw...

    60 degree angles

    My question is why 82 degrees for flat head machine screws. Seems like they were shooting for 80, messed up, said fuck it, and continued making them.

    I was fired from the first machine shop job I had for bad attitude. At that point I had been there for 5-1/2 years and it had been over 3-1/2 since I had gotten a raise making $14/hr. The shop was a shit show all around. The shop was a whole family affair with the owners family working at all...
