Told we didn't make any money.
The management team should look inward. A responsible management team would try to gather insight on the issues that the company is facing, so that they can address the problems. Shifting blame onto the workers is amateur behavior. If the workers are incompetent, then it's still the...- alek95

Told we didn't make any money.
Just switch companies. Everything starts from the top. If the management is pointing fingers and blaming the guys at the bottom, then you know it's a horrible place to work and that the company doesn't have much of a future. The whole purpose of management is to steer the ship. Basically I saw...- alek95

Any multitasking mill-turn machine with lower turret below $400k?
What's the benefit of this machine? Seems like you're paying not much less than the price of a real b-axis millturn and in return you get a lot less versatility and performance.- alek95

Has Anyone Had Luck With Staffing Agencies?
100% true. I am yet to come across a process or workflow that is simple or straight forward enough to stop unskilled operators from crashing machines or making bad parts.- alek95

Lol are you making drone parts for Ukraine? Doosan SMX is definitely above your price range but I know the Puma MX is about half a million. You might have to go for a used machine if you are limited to 400k.- alek95

Has Anyone Had Luck With Staffing Agencies?
@F35Machinist I'm not a shop owner but I'm a shift leader so I have a lot of operators to deal with. I'd say the biggest indicator is if the person has a strong interest in CNC or not. My best operators are guys who are taking CNC courses at a local community College. Also a lot of these...- alek95

OT: Best steel toe shoes for everyday
Because I bought it in the store without checking reviews first. I liked how comfortable they were on my feet and I needed new shoes ASAP because my old ones were bad. -
OT: Best steel toe shoes for everyday
Update: I ended up buying these shoes at Red Wing. They were just shy of $200. For me they are extremely comfortable. Hopefully they last the entire year (I only get a shoe credit every 12 months). I just checked online, and the reviews are TERRIBLE on Red Wing's site. Everyone is saying... -

OT: Best steel toe shoes for everyday
Hi everyone, I bought the same Reebok steal toe shoes as last year, and they didn't even last a month this time.... Quite disappointing because the pair I had before lasted the full year. So I wanted to ask, does anyone have a good recommendation for steel toe shoes? I'm looking for... -
What are the best end-mills???
Great for less rigid machines. Not the best for machines with limited memory. -
I have a 2023 DNM5700. Is the coolant/chip management really supposed to be this terrible?
Doosan makes great machines yet they make some decisions that leave me scratching my head. Lots of small but important details are overlooked.- alek95

Ford 7.3 Diesel Bellhousing Bolt Pattern
A few years ago I made an adaptor plate to put an LS4 in a Porsche Boxster (belonged to the son of my boss at the time). I got the measurements as best as I could on the trans and the motor. Drew it up in Solidworks. Then I used a Chinese laser to cut a template of the adaptor from some...- alek95

What strategy do you think is best for this feature?
I draw the line depending on how useful I can be to somebody. I limit contacting them about MY problems, instead I only try to contact regarding ways where I can make them money. Obviously your situation is different, but for me, the product manager, production supervisor, engineers are all...- alek95

I have one part that is 19 tools. Turret looks like a porcupine. Last year the owners were talking about a twin turret machine (Doosan TT), but in the end they got another 2600SY. I don't have too many parts that are 15+ tools, but I still hope they get a twin turret machine soon.- alek95
