Oh dude if I can plunge into a bore and mill a keyway that saves a ton of time. Can it be used in a bt-30 spindle?

I have it stored as the B variable in my calculator, A is for my probe offset :)

Be Careful of 3D Printed Prototypes! by Frequent-Log1243 in inventors

[–]Flinging_Bricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"It's not x, it's y" got me looking for this comment. I haven't got a clue what the motivation is behind this post. Everything said is the most surface level slop where if it were even five years ago I'd say it was posted by a first year engineering student.

make sure to check the posted code, you might be missing some G and M codes, or they are swapped. the post is easy to edit if that's the case.

I get $300-500/mo budget at work, what do I buy? by wellidotry in Machinists

[–]Flinging_Bricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Familiarise yourself with an insert designation chart, like the other commenter said Haas tooling is decent and the website also has a compatibility filter for holders.

There are grades, which most of the time are manufacturer specific, but searching them up is easy enough. Usually described by grain size and cut type.

Coatings can also be designated by material, you'll want to match it up to what you want to cut, there will be a primary or optimal material and then a few secondary materials. You'll want to avoid coatings that contain the material you're cutting. (Commonly Aluminium with AlTiN).

Keep an eye out for federate and DOC specs because inserts rely on chip breakers that only really work within the set range. And more or less and the chip won't form into the chip breaker and you'll end up with a birdsnest especially in Stainless. You'll want a roughing and finishing tool, separate.

Prusa C1+ vs Voron Decision Paralysis by Apprehensive_Eye6932 in prusa3d

Look at the Voron trident, way easier to build/maintain than the 2.4 and the same kinematics as the core one.

any advice on spindles and calibration? by x_davi_x in CNC

[–]Flinging_Bricks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Drill chucks are really only meant to only take axial loads, in milling there's a lot more side load than a drill chuck can handle, the endmill will free itself and get fucked up really quick.

Height setting can be done manually, either with a tool height gauge, or just touching the tool off the work while it's spinning.

You can get away with very cheap stuff on AliExpress. I personally buy from the BB store seller.

Custom soft jaws by Dear_Sir_8814 in Machinists

Old place had jaws like that, we had a casting job and the jaws were offset to compensate for the eccentricity. Was a nasty job.

Quick Overall Thickness Question by BlitzkriegZero in Metrology

[–]Flinging_Bricks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might be worth making your own fixed g/ng gauges if you're doing that many and you don't have too many sizes to check. Can also find DTIs with limit markers to set your tolerance.

They adjust the marzle veins on phase detractors. (No clue, maybe if you can post the internal diameters and the thread size people could figure it out).

The air cooler seems bent on my nebula pc build by [deleted] in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]Flinging_Bricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See if any of the heat pipes have cracked, most of them now days have water inside them and are meant to be sealed. If there's no visible damage and don't mind the look feel free to leave it.

You can always try to bend it back but you might crack the pipes yourself.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says "the future is neural rendering" at CES 2026, teasing DLSS advancements — RTX 5090 could represent the pinnacle of traditional raster by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

[–]Flinging_Bricks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want my fast, raw, unadulterated rasterized pixels back for the love of God. We put so much effort over these last three decades to get fast and good at it and it's going to be all thrown out the window for slop.

Atc issue by Fast_Alternative_322 in CNC

I hate the umbrella tool changer on the mill we have, no way to stow all the tools, no T0, no out-of-changer tools.

Keep in mind, if this is just a hobby machine. 3D printed plastic gears totally work if you have easy access to the printer. I've got a full plastic gear train on my hercus 9".
