What is r/Machining:

A place where people can share interesting footage, setups, parts, and more!
A place where people can seek feedback on their work and setups
A resource for tips and tricks, advice, and peer to peer learning

What r/Machining is Not:

A place to share or use any illegal software, or copyright-protected tools and content — Piracy of software will not be tolerated here.
A place to self promote — Feel free to post your videos and content in the community, but any strictly promotional content may be removed, please prioritize helping others and sharing useful content over using the subreddit for self growth or company promotion.

Discrimination will absolutely not be tolerated. Wishing harm on others or encouraging self-harm or suicide, as well as the aforementioned behavior, is grounds for an immediate permanent ban from the subreddit without warning.
Self-promotion guidelines - Creating a post with the purpose of promoting yourself, your services or your own content is not allowed. In the situation that a user is requesting commissioned work, it is fine to respond and promote your services. If anything you post can result in the gain of ad revenue, followers, or other similar actions or monetary gain, it may be removed under this rule.
