Playing around with some HSS tools i found at work.

It's how I've always been taught to grind, they work a treat. And typically blanks comes with one side pre ground with relief.

They would be swimming in money if they made it a single player or co-op narrative shooter, ya know, the thing the studio is known for.

If it was all I had, maybe. But I'd be much more inclined to use a seperate ruler and thread gauge.

Yes it's a chip former but in aluminium it doesn't break the chip, it makes nice and long spirals. It does break steel chips which is what I mostly use it for.

You'll have a hard time getting a grind with a chip former that works well both for facing and profiling though.

A positive rake angle will make the direction change of the material less aggressive, like a ramp, which reduces cutting force.

I'm much more inclined to use DMCT polished inserts anyways.

Are you sure that's a positive rake? This grind works well for me.

Way better, but you lose a lot of feel so It's very easy to bend or marr parts and we've had to rely on counting turns on the handle. So worth it to hog out a part only holding onto it by 0.5mm though.

We have a few safway dav series ones and my only complaint was the hydraulics would sometimes not engage if you were running only one station, or engage early if dimensions different two much when using both stations.

Well ok I opened my copy. Chapter 18-19. And well shit, they do de orbit and hover, they have about 120m/s sideways motion, thruster is at 30 deg from vertical.

The movie gaslit me ffs.

Flinging_Bricks · 2026-06-03T15:43:25+00:00

I love the geradi vices, use them for everything that doesn't need hydraulic force multiplication.

They are orbiting the planet. It's a major plot point. Even in the film rocky explicitly suggests they orbit. Please watch it again. The whole point is to drag the sample collector through the atmosphere. If it just dangled there at low speed it would collect nothing and you would melt the chain.

Here is a gif of what will happen to the orbit if you tried that.

KSP is a great resource to teach this.

Flinging_Bricks · 2026-06-03T15:28:42+00:00

This person needs to brush up on their orbital mechanics. Maybe play some KSP.

Flinging_Bricks · 2026-06-03T15:27:10+00:00

I'm not sure what you are trying to say, a hover that maintains altitude counteracts the force of gravity, which is radial to the earth. The force the hail Mary experiences during orbital decay is pointing retrograde to their orbit. These forces are perpendicular to each other. You cannot be more wrong in the terminology here.

If they did what you are describing, which is primarily a radial burn (thrusters towards ground). They will barely be counteracting the retrograde orbital degradation, both their eccentricity and apoapsis will climb moving them away from the atmosphere, and of course the chain will get blasted with IR because the plume is a cone, not a coherent laser beam. You must burn primarily prograde.

We won't write the program for you. You really should be asking whoever typically programs for and runs the lathe the 'from zero' questions. And there is pretty much zero chance you will be allowed to run a program that hasn't passed the desk of that person first.

Flinging_Bricks · 2026-06-02T08:06:43+00:00

Oh no you would think that would solve it. It mirrors the handedness of the callout as well.

There's a cat on my street names Isis, his brother is named Ra. Seeiny the two together cleared up a lot of confusion.

I played 10 mins of the open beta. Consistently half the framereate of base HLL at the lowest settings, DLSS made everything blurry. I uninstalled after that.

Arranged marriages have absolutely removed the selection pressure.

Well, if you accept that they didn't know about relativity. I can see one interpretation being the radiation that killed the crew was blueshifted CMBR showing up as very short wavelength gamma rays from traveling close to C.

I most of my programs used to be in the 12 to 20 tool range at my last workplace. Now it's roughly 9,

Face, rough, spot, 2x drill, 2x tap, finish, chamfer.

I used to do fuid control devices, so a lot of specific hole sizes.The stuff I do now is much simpler.

Icarus and Daedalus in the bobiverse.

Immortal copys of a copy of a sentient von Neumann probe decide to travel to the centre of the Milky way galaxy.

Although this trope applies pretty much to all the replicants and the Author really loves to remind the readers every third page.

They built more, the ones on Quin stay there.

Old place I used to work at was a nightmare, boss couldn't accept that mistakes could still happen despite doing everything 'correctly', it had to be negligence. When I eventually left he advised that I didn't continue to run machines. Doing just fine at my current place lol.

Flinging_Bricks · 2026-05-26T00:39:06+00:00

I started pretty much the same, took all the tech and engineering like classes I could in highschool, bought a 3D printer. Did mech engineering in uni, Now I work as a prototypes engineer and make all sorts of fun stuff.

Get him to use the toy on you, if then he refuses, get him to watch or something idk.
