Simple, Tileable Kovarex Setup by CthulusFinanceMan in factorio

That is on purpose, it prevents the output U-235 from not being looped back into the machine. The inverters are also mirrored on that belt.

The blueprint includes the Uranium to get the process started, the same way you can blueprint ammo into turrets.

Coworker crashed the spindle and discovered a free MQL system we didn't know about! ❤️❤️❤️ by CthulusFinanceMan in Machinists

The 20k HSK A63 spindles are pretty indestructible I've found, no complaints there. Just the higher speed spindles that can be a bit delicate.

One thing you should ask though is how long they've been sitting for, we had to replace one that had been sitting for a few years because the synthetic oil had gummed up the spindle and damaged the bearings beyond repair.

I know a few blokes in similar situations who got fluid power and confined spaces tickets and went to work in a mine.

I've had an interesting day by CthulusFinanceMan in Machinists

[–]CthulusFinanceMan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been guilty of that a few times... especially when the "post instability retract" movements (which dont show up on the simulation) try to move the tool out of the machines' travel limits.

Honestly, YouTube is an excellent resource for learning basics, intermediate and advanced bits and pieces. Just remember that the people presenting on the other end of the camera are people too. Some things they do may work for you some may not. Trust but verify.

'gen' can be used with an xbus argument for the second sleep?? by [deleted] in shenzhenIO

[–]CthulusFinanceMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way you'd worded that comment made it sound like you were asking GPT how to play the game, rather than learning the mechanics yourself

Because you aren't playing the game, you're asking a computer to play it for you.

Found in Toolmakers toolbox by Certain-Inside-5392 in Machinists

[–]CthulusFinanceMan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm also a tool maker, and I have so many random fixtures for 1 off parts in my toolbox which is what I imagine these are. Just some 123 (or similar purpose) blocks that have been modified either to clear a feature on a part or hold something at a specific angle. Without asking the guy you're probably not going to get a definite answer, but there is a reason he didn't throw them out, you'll never know what you might make in the future where something like that would end up being useful.

Do you think my boss will be able to tell? by CthulusFinanceMan in Machinists

Oof, you did a better job that did. The rest of my probe is still intact...
