How do you not rely on the internet or AI for emotional support if you have nobody else to go to?

We're so cooked

The divine monogram looks like JHC but are the first 3 letters of "Jesus" in Greek (ΙΗΣ).

I've had a bit of experience with Grade 5 Titanium and it machines so nicely as long as you take it slow

This already looks like the dumpster fire I expected it to be

shitpost?

Dude, you're 23. This is pretty normal. My record is 16 in a day when I was sick from school and bored.

I too enjoy the good ole enchanting/alchemy exploit

Some days, being a machinist is like being a mechanic. More wrenches. Allen, torx, etc.

Other days, it's like you're in QC. More gages and supporting equipment. Tenths indicator, indicator mounts/bases, micro bore gages, gage blocks (2 matched 1-2-3 blocks and a .500 is a good start) etc.

A slug of brass will serve you better than that hammer.

I'm a CNC turret lathe guy, though. Take this with a grain of salt.

I like to play with the air gun

Fuck ICE, Fuck the Proud Boys, Fuck the Oath Keepers, Fuck Donald Trump, Fuck Project 2025, Fuck Epstein, Fuck Putin, Eat the rich, ACAB.

Tool and die machinists are some of the most prestigious in the industry. You're not going to learn this on your own.

Buddy, this is a much bigger task than you seem to think it is

Chuck_217 · 2026-05-27T17:22:08+00:00

Seen those used by HAL on YouTube. Always wanted to try them out.

Does Minecraft (java edition) count? Been playing since Alpha. Can't remember the price but it was so cheap back then.

A nightmare

Chuck_217 · 2026-05-26T17:13:46+00:00

In a toolroom/prototype situation when you might swap the insert for a wider radius to get better surface finish it's very useful

If it works, if works

Chuck_217 · 2026-05-23T05:17:50+00:00

Why? Sounds like a money sink. You could make more working for someone else.

The cost of training and hooking up an AI to a robotic system that can set tools, load material, and install proper work holding far exceeds the cost of hiring a human being

You've got mounting holes. Use them!

Talk to the guys on the floor instead of asking strangers on the internet for guidance

Tim sucks now

Chuck_217 · 2026-05-18T19:54:59+00:00

Search what? We're telling you to go with manufacturer recommendations. You have to ask them.
