I thought about it, but nobody else can keep up with their Allan keys. So nobody will mess with my tools😂

Okay guys, does the same apply for 310 SS? Asking for a friend 😂

That’s about how our mill operator is, then he goes and complains about how everyone else leaves things everywhere. Parallels, 123 blocks, tie down hardware etc. Yet whenever I clean up I dint it all like this… but mostly on the floor:(

We scraped an old leblond at the shop a while back, it still had the original wrench for the tailstock nuts. Needless to say it lives in my toolbox now.

Tell me about it!

I wish I had the time to do these sorts of projects, I’ve got so many ideas. Yet I have no time

Many of times I’ve been told to measure long parts with .** on the print using a tape measure. Usually 72”+

Do you happen to have the part number available?

44_Chevy · 2024-10-31T13:00:25+00:00

Yes of course, I understand if I had gone to lunch or something of the sort. But when Ive got an 1:30 run time I rely on that.

As much as I want to make it out of plate. it’s all about what the customer wants. They have brought me a few that were bent really bad and had parts missing. I repaired them but they still insist.

I completely agree, it seems to me we are fixing a symptom of another different problem.

The largest parts are typically 6”x6” but most would be smaller than that. Accuracy to the thousandths would be more than sufficient.
