We have dropped down past few months, extremely.
But wondering how the rest of our locals were,
I noticed the metal delivery guy only had a couple orders on the truck :scratchchin:
They are probably the largest metal vendor in the valley/state, he said that he only had 2 more orders to...
So I bought a new VMC and an auto saw last year.
Been a year, out of the penalty stage of the loan.
Have the money to pay it off, and its at 4%.
But the economy being shit, I wanted to keep that money around, just encase.
But I don't want to loose 4% on hundreds of thousand of doll hairs.
So I...
OT Issues, Anyone missing media links in their posts, as of today when "I" post a Youtube link it isn't there in Chrome.?
Thought it was Adblock cause I blocked that ad today, but nope, not it.

OK, I asked this about a year a go and didn't get any good answers, so lets try again.
We currently are doing 100% Aluminum So I have only been buying Cobalt drills, no carbide.

Saw a guy on Youboob comment that you don't need to be a machinist to be a CAM programmer.
Other guy said, that's like saying you never went to medical school, but your a brain surgeon.:nutter::ROFLMAO:
I have been contemplating a 5 axis past couple years, but this year I think we have to get one.
Parts lately are franken parts where multiple parts have been combined into a single part with compound surfaces blended with organic curved surfaces.
Most of the current parts are about the size of...
So I just bought and tried one of these things today, surfacing 4" X 18" customer needed a non planar surface finished.
Worked extremely well with the large 1.5" rad tip.

Just thought I would put this out there for those looking for a new saw.
I bought a Hydmech H14-A a year and half a go, Its been awesome.
Like having another employee, literally.
I saw Peter/Edge Precision say once "why the fuq do you need a touch screen display on a saw" or something like...
When you need to make an injection mold in your garage shop, but all you got is a table saw, some 3" thick 7075 plate, and a Haas MiniMill haha :D
Thought you would get a laugh out of this, hey we do what we have to do.
So I wanted to bring this back up, after so many years on this subject.
I had never hard milled before so,
I bought some Harvey Hard Mill Cutters $$$$, called the mfg, they said use wet.
Looked at some Maritool Hard Mill Cutters , says wet or dry,
Sandvik said use dry.
So I have ran a bunch of...
Well I have been banned on my like 5th or 6th machining channel now.
just a tip, if you use a TOR browser with the country set to a shady country, Youtube will not count the views,
this is my new way to watch these Youtube machinists.
Quick question since I haven't worked at a shop in this field.
With the increasing number of small garage shops set out to increasingly ruin standard job shop demographics.
I am looking to where I want to direct my current investment as a small shop forward, but also possibly diversify those...

We ordered a Walrus hi pressure coolant pump, it arrived damaged.
they would not send out a new one, or refund our money.
They said what they do is file a claim with Fed-X and when Fed-X investigates and then sends out a payment for damages caused to Walrus,
then Walrus would forward that to...
