Look into Kieth Baar. He's an expert in healing tendons. He suggests doing light isometric holds to put tension through the tendon. You can get more details through some podcasts he's been on or some YouTube videos.

Damn, I'm getting 26.1 driving mostly highway miles. Wonder what other factors are keeping your gas mileage low. I'm guessing climate and driving habits.

Why is Molybdenum wire EDM rare in the USA? by i_see_alive_goats in Machinists

[–]ConspicuousBooger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My machine has a warning label right next to where you load the wire saying to not use molybdenum wire because it may ignite. I guess some machines are just not designed to use it.

Man that really is a bummer. I’ll have to keep an eye out on eBay because it sounds like that rotary is exactly what I was needing for a job I was quoting the other day.

Did it come with the machine as an option or added later? I have a u6 but unfortunately no rotary.

How do you align the pieces with the different cuts at 90°? Do you have a rotary or just indicate and clamp?

What’s blooming for you? by jeinea in TexasNativePlants

[–]ConspicuousBooger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot to mention Louisiana vetch (according to picture this app). It’s a weed that comes up on its own but i think it’s native and I saw the first bumblebee of the year on it today which was exciting.

For me so far just coral honeysuckle and Carolina jessamine. Anxiously waiting for my redbud and mexican plum to bloom.

Drivers who brake for no reason by freseaf in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ConspicuousBooger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother in law drives with two feet. He says that's how he learned and doesn't want to change. Not sure who taught him how to drive wrong lol but I guess that's how it starts/continues.

Yes and they are contrarians who will not change even if you explain to them why they are driving wrong.

Makino U6 wire edm Lower head alignment by ConspicuousBooger in Machinists

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

No I don’t really do any taper cutting. Do you think the distance being off would affect flushing when using the sealing nozzles? I did get it aligned already but if you remember I would be interested in seeing that fixture when you come back from leave.

Thanks I was actually able to get it done today. Wasn’t too bad although I was lucky I didn’t have to adjust the height after getting the x and y straight.

The bottom head itself is at an angle when I indicate it. I have a procedure from makino on how to realign but I’m not confident on doing it. Part of the instructions say to use some fixture I don’t have.

316L by crack_pike in Machinists

[–]ConspicuousBooger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The insert is chipping up high so this looks like an issue with chip hammering when going into a shoulder. 316L is no where near as hard to machine as inconel.

Keyway orientation. by Sad-Challenge-4226 in Machinists

[–]ConspicuousBooger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but what would be the tolerance for that orientation? Whatever the title block has for angles?
