    OT. Why, in 2023, does "on hold" music sound like a worn out cassette tape?

    I've often wondered, why is the video from a sheriffs dash cam so bad you can hardly tell if it's day or night, but a 14 yo kid riding a skateboard with a Groprro is nearly broadcast quality

    Air regulator for haas vf2ss with a 5th axis rotary.

    are you going thru quick disconnects? Haas installation guide specifically says not to. Dont waste your time with scanazon crap. If it's still a problem, you can always add a small reservoir tank at the machine

    Cost to lap and or calibrate granite surface plates?

    a few years ago (so be sure to subtract 7.1% for inflation) I had our surface plate guys out. I had a 24 x 36 plate they relapped to A for about $100. Since they were already here, that excludes travel time, etc.
