GODDDAMNNNNIT right when I read that second paragraph I thought, "was this a Chat response?" Didn't want to be rude cuz some people do just be talking like Chat y'know. 🤦
GPT-4 with custom instructions would definitely get that. Here's a good article on how to properly leverage them. Can be a real game changer, takes the kiddy gloves off and gets to know you as a person.
About 6 parts in my last batch came back with white spots/pock marks as seen in the image below (clearer in the second picture). After machining, I clean the parts thoroughly, then the finisher polishes them on a grinder and type II anodizes them. The finisher said it was the result of...
Circling back around to this, what is an "R8" bright dip? Can't find anything online about it. Also have been running into some issues with uneven coloring around the edges as seen on the right side in the picture below (ignore the tool/other marks). The anodizer said that was from the bright...
My anodizer consistently delivers late/shifts the timelines back. Says it'll be 3 days, then 3 more days, then 4 more days. I provide pretty small batch sizes, so I understand that I'm a lower priority, but the unpredictability is challenging. What do people do with their anodizers to lock down...
Definitely going through the first peak of the hype cycle right now, this stuff's going nowhere though. It's so concentrated in the programming and copywriting fields rn, and want to bring it to other fields. See a lot of potential for it to speed up physical product development and...
2FA is gold standard now. Look up the list of companies breached this year it's astonishing (includes some PASSWORD COMPANIES)
It's definitely a data harvesting operation...just not for your personal data which is everywhere. They're data harvesting training data by letting people talk to their...
Yeah machinist world definitely more prone to physical than digital data since it's physical lol. In my the best sources would be: a) forums like this, b) manuals, c) transcripts of videos (might actually be really good), d) blog posts, e) internal company documentation (much harder to get).
As...
Wondering if people have had good experience using ChatGPT in the machining world. Been using it like crazy for programming (Javascript web-apps) and it's at least doubled my speed.
Been thinking about making a custom fine tuned model with embeddings based off of scraped data from this forum...
here are results of a blue spindle taper check, think I used a bit too much but what do people think? it made contact everywhere, but less on that one side.
If I get a refrigerated dryer would I need the water trap, auto drain (assume so cuz this is just for the compressor), and motor guard as well?
Only have one machine so would rather not spend $800 on a refrigerated dryer just yet (tho willing to if it really makes the difference, will pay for...
Have a California Air Tools compressor, don't have a water condenser or anything but Haas has a bleed valve that goes off every 10 minutes. Drain the air compressor about once a week, never have water shooting out of the hand-hose. Does seem to be a moisture issue tho, whether that's air or...
torque ~65 lb-ft (as advised by Haas)
do not use Loctite, have heard mixed things about necessity on
roughing a few of them, nothing crazy though
getting grease right now, can't find Red-I (Haas' recommendation) so planning on getting Mobil XHP-222
not sure on drawbar force, might do...
yeah I've only been using the green/gray pads, tho will lay off and get some
what grease do you use? looks like Haas recommends Red-I tho it's hard to come by, will Mobile XHP-222 do the trick? Haas has it listed with Red-I on their website, from my research they seem pretty close.
what...
Yeah think I was overthinking it in the beginning. I'm press-fitting magnets and had a few experiences of magnets breaking on the press that spooked me and made me overthink it. Anytime I've thought it was an issue it turned out to be some other variables.
I'm getting fretting marks on my toolholders. Below are some examples, it is like that on most of the tools. Those lines can be rubbed off with my fingers, mostly those bigger dots. I also attached pictures of what the inside of the spindle taper. Only one side of the taper has marks.
I have...
I am bright dipping my part along with anodization, my type II anodization adds a thickness of 0.0003″ and was wondering if bright dipping affects thickness. From what I know it's a very chemically harsh process that flattens out the surface, and strips a tiny bit away, is it enough to factor...
