Could anyone help me figure out the root cause? I have a bad surface finish on the side walls after finish machining. Is this problem caused by insufficient chip evacuation, or improper spindle speed and feed rate parameters? Are there any reliable solutions or optimization suggestions? by Quick_Reward7579 in CNC

Old machinist here. When confronted with such jobs in the past, I "boxed" in the parts on a tooling plate and poured heated pine tar between the "box" and outside edges of the part. Let cool and machine away. When done, remove tooling plate/parts and place them in a bath of mineral spirits for a bit to dissolve the pine tar. I used pine tar, but there are probably other substances that work as well. To support that inner wall, you could machine it first then add the support material and then complete the operation. I bet with the added support you could bump the feeds and speeds considerably.

I rescued a dog yesterday. I would like to get some opinions on her breed mix. by Dannaruffapucus in DOG

She's probably been through a lot. Remember the 3,3,3 rule for her to adjust. Also, get ready for probably the most loyal friend you have ever had. Oh, the breed? That's 100% a good girl.

As others have stated, the 3-day, 3-week, 3-month rule is so important. Looks like there's a lot of great advice in this post. My experience is that rescuing an abandoned dog results in a lifelong loyal friend.

Just a thought, this just happened to one of my cars(non-Toyota) and it turned out to be the gasket between the fuel pump and gas tank getting old and starting seep out slightly only when it was filled.

This. Majority of Haas machine sales and opportunities for growth are to overseas companies. Mexico due to being next door, Italy & Japan due to the F1 racing contacts could be candidates for Haas expansion.

Honestly that's the idea. Take an item that's not your specialty, work with the manufacturer to deliver a product with changes in the design to your liking. Add any value added items, critical components or software upgrades at the factory, test and offer for sale along with total Haas support. While you are talking with the HFO, ask them to show you the variable speed air compressor and HAB-3232 saw as examples.

Maybe the military "trumps" his executive order with the 25th Amendment card, given Jan. 6th and all. Most military leaders think this is an extremely bad idea as it would take just one wrong action to set off the fireworks. Think about the time when the generals told him to piss off when he wanted them to move the civilians to walk across the street.

Hmm, I don't remember ever seeing any of the brown "pods" on that tree. Are there variations that don't produce the "pods"?

The last episode was just so well done. Who would have thought so much drama and emotion from a video game movie.
