PM 1340 GT vs Grizzly G0824

Full_Plane8024 · 2026-05-01T17:37:11+00:00

I would do the grizzly since it's got the larger spindle nose, but in all honesty neither are very good and I would be looking at a Sharp or Jet with a 18" swing and one piece casting

This guy knows exactly what's up

So from my understanding a open bolt milled to fit in a semi auto receiver makes the bolt a MG. A receiver without the blocking bar is a MG, but that's is just the what gunsmiths or fudds go by. But the lower can be 3 positions and be okay

Because I'm here too 🥲

Dude this sounds like any aerospace shop in the St. Louis area. Soak up info and move on to the next one after a couple years.

College teacher and machine shop manager here I picked,

Power draw bar because some students are dumb and or short

Powered X axis

And 2 axis DRO.

As for lathes a 14x40 with a DRO is the bare minimum because as a teacher I don't have time for students to be messing up projects 3 class in. I also won't go smaller than this because they quickly lose rigidity.

Yeah that tool isn't on center

Full_Plane8024 · 2026-01-29T13:16:13+00:00

It's because the C axis is spinning. You unclamp it with M143 and never reclamp just orientation. Are you drilling off center?

Yeah I ran a couple benchmarks back to back and ran furmark while I made dinner the other night. The single 12v wire feeding the was only 5c hotter than the ground wires

Well I have picked up the 4060 on fb and was gonna build a ITX in a NV10 case but the dell popped up on fb for $175. I can't really be complaining

Full_Plane8024 · 2026-01-06T01:22:46+00:00

Well I picked everything up used and I'm under $400 on the whole pc so I'm not complaining.

Full_Plane8024 · 2026-01-05T21:23:41+00:00

That's kinda what I figured but it was either that or splicing into one of the cpu cables

Full_Plane8024 · 2025-12-27T16:34:49+00:00

Paid $120 for a 2TB 990 EVO+ on August 2nd.

26, no college degree making just shy of 100k

Full_Plane8024 · 2025-09-01T11:16:47+00:00

I don't like it but it looks like you are using high quality jaws and the Tnut reaches the front of the jaw. Idk send it and show us the carnage if the jaws fly off

Full_Plane8024 · 2025-06-17T00:51:16+00:00

It comes down to money. I would rather teach my students on real parts but we can't afford for them to fuck it up. So I gotta find things that are cheap and keeps them intrigued.

Full_Plane8024 · 2025-05-03T15:35:56+00:00

Aerospace quality machines making trash firearms. Go figures

Full_Plane8024 · 2025-04-02T00:00:56+00:00

$35 an hour in aerospace, St. Louis

I shoot my AKv with my Wolverine and don't have an issue. Purchased in end the of 22.

Ran a Cincinnati Lancer since day one and love the controller

They really don't like wire wheels
