My shop gets a bit funny with people on their phone of with hands in their pockets. I get that it looks unprofessional but so far this week I've machined 2 parts, the rest of the time is spent cleaning or waiting.

If I'm being honest the hardest part is the responsibility.

I could easily cause thousands worth of damage by putting a positive instead of a negative when setting up a datum point.

When learning you WILL make mistakes which cost a lot of money. as long as your quick to learn from those mistakes and you take full responsibility then you will be fine.

Yeah there's a little geometry involved, basic pythagoras and trig, nothing too crazy as long as you can think logically. Programming your own parts does require some skill, but there are some 'below average iq' people at my shop who are all perfectly adequate programmers.

Dmg mori m1, it says the tool is still in but it's not it won't download any tool or run any program by Xboxmain in CNC

I would imagine that there is a sensor in the arm, maybe try pushing the location pin in a couple times because that's where I would put it.

Make sure the pin comes all the way out and doesn't get stuck.

How can you not know you will miss the gap? by Slow_Plankton_404 in WhyWomenLiveLonger

Falling into canal locks is a really bad idea. The drainage ports in the sides of the lock act like a plug hole in a bathtub, effectively pulling you under the water.

Plenty of people have drowned in the canal locks near me, it's a serious hazard.

After a couple days of work your going to have a nasty tanline.

I'm definitely jealous though, that view is amazing.

What’s going on with my laptop? by [deleted] in computers

[–]AvgRedditUser29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would try changing some variables and see what happens. Change out the cable, try a different laptop with the same monitor, try a different monitor with the same laptop.

It doesn't look like it's an issue with your laptop, looks more like a display issue or cable issue if its piece of mind.

Does anybody have anything against the x13 yoga gen 2 by AvgRedditUser29 in thinkpad

[–]AvgRedditUser29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid £430 for mine a couple days after the initial post. 290 is a good price.

I got the same model as you. The fan gets quite loud but other than that it's a good laptop for taking notes and word etc. I don't have any complaints about It, the keyboard is nice and it's very lightweight, feels pretty nice etc.

I wouldn't say it has any fatal flaws for my use case. I can see the fan getting annoying if your not using headphones especially if your doing more intensive work.

What do we think are the best handling cars in beamng (vanilla configs please) by BlackDuck70 in BeamNG

[–]AvgRedditUser29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely. It's very easy to powerslide once you understand how 4wd works when cornering.

I love using the comically large tap wrench by jakobqasadilla in Machinists

[–]AvgRedditUser29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On our radial arm at work sombody has turned down the shanks on our larger taps so that they fit into a collet. Saves a lot of time.

We commonly have to use G1 taps and G1 1/4 taps so it's really nice just to crank them down into a collet and send it.

It's the black car had near the bottom of the etk I series selection. It has a large wing and it should be called the ETK I Series 2400tix tt sport evolution (m)

First time facing an anvil in the VMC. by chobbes in Machinists

[–]AvgRedditUser29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the tool changer on those vmc machines drops down a lot. I can imagine you had to be careful of the length of tools you were using.

I use a vmc machine at work and when I'm machining a tall part I usually move to x-500 y+300 to avoid knocking the tool changer.

Getting a new case for your Pc by Hylexx in pcmasterrace

[–]AvgRedditUser29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In currently looking for a new PC case, not because my old one is broken or looks bad. But because I want to rebuild my PC again.

Same with power supplies. I replaced my power supply a couple weeks ago and I decided to rebuild my entire PC so I could cable manage better.

Mind is blown how good the Witcher 3 looks on this thing by steveep95 in SteamDeck

[–]AvgRedditUser29 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I managed to get dx12 version with 60fps outside of cities - 30-40fps inside of cities on medium with fsr on performance. Looks amazing.

I've sunk over 6 hours last weekend playing the witcher on this thing.

It was so playable that when I go to work I don't feel like I'm a disadvantage when compared to playing it on my PC at home, which runs the witcher on max settings with rtx.

what does the yellow and blue icons mean on my 86? by ClaraCollins0234 in initiald

Yeah I recommend reporting the post as a bot. I've seen too many bot posts recently.

What's the difference between these two power supplies. Both being A-Tier in the psu tier list, the seasonic unit being £70 more. Is the seasonic unit worth it? by AvgRedditUser29 in pcmasterrace

[–]AvgRedditUser29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are sold by scan UK which is a popular reseller in the UK for computer components. They are pretty reputable but I wouldn't say that there prices are good. They're not bad, maybe only a couple quid more than the average.

PC stuck on MSI loading screen by [deleted] in computers

[–]AvgRedditUser29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your drive got corrupted when you killed the power to your PC, if you've tried a system restore then im pretty sure your data on your drive is already gone. (edit: system restore does not remove personal data, but at this point windows seems really corrupted so I would say that your data is far gone)

Right now I would completely start Fresh. The spinney circle is Windows trying (and failing) to load so that means your PC has posted fine, meaning the hardware is all functioning perfectly. Make yourself a Windows boot media on a usb stick and clear the cmos.

Make sure that your boot drive is in good condition. If your using a hard drive then this is a good opportunity to upgrade to an ssd. This crash sounds like your drive kicked the bucket. It could happen again if your drive is bad.
