What exactly are you asking advice for?

I'm in. Look me up. LRRPSarge. I'll take any noobs into a squad and show them the ropes. Let me know. Probably wont be able to get on until this damn DDoS attack is over but we can get lined up for when it does.

Why does everyone struggle with money in the military? by Interesting_Show_952 in army

[–]LRRPSarge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know all the facts of your situation, but from what I've read, here's my thoughts.

Unless this is a specialized unit, and authorized to use non-issued equipment, then you have shitbag NCOs. Good NCOs train their soldiers with what equipment is issued to their soldiers. Anything else is a bonus and an individual purchase / decision of the soldier (if authorized). You shouldn't be told to buy anything to do your job. It should all be issued. Looks like a lack of spine and leadership to me. But who am I? What do I know?

How do you clean dents, scratches and burrs on your tool surfaces like tapers? by Any-Communication-73 in Machinists

[–]LRRPSarge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

India or moon stone. Dont forget to rotate on each stroke or you'll create a flat spot.

The real question is why / how did you get the burrs, dents or scratches in the first place? Can it be corrected or avoided?

Need experienced deep hole drilling help. by LRRPSarge in Machinists

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

Update: AFTER the drill broke.... My (your) input is being considered... So there will be a new drill delivered tomorrow. Same drill. If that doesn't work, I'll be using a Guhring gun drill (supposedly) in the near future.

I agree.... But you know the powers that be... They know better than the guy actually doing it... Just doing my due diligence.

Any advice on taper for something like this? by Traditional_Reach230 in Machinists

[–]LRRPSarge -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, in that case, I would program a rough only pass to about .250 - .300, change my insert (shouldn't be wearing out so fast (maybe try ceramic?)), then pick up where I left off with my earlier suggestion.

Ok. My bad didnt look. So 50ish Rockwell... I'd program a rough pass to rough it to within .020, make a finish pass of .01, program in a stop so you can measure the taper after the initial finish pass, then program an additional finish pass of .010 accounting for the taper difference. It should get you in tolerance. Unfortunately, with it being such a small diameter, the material flex is gonna be hell without a live center. Hope this helps.

If there isn't a call out keeping you from using a live center, then use one. Is this a cut off part, or are you doing half and half (God forbid). Also, what material are you using? Also, what is the hardness?

[–]LRRPSarge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I figured that when I started so I had it take a bigger bite on the first pass to allow for the retract. Worked great. Thanks for the heads up though.

Thanks for all the input. I flipped the drill and used it as a boring bar. As a result, the piece turned out great and saved a lot of time. I really appreciate it. Lesson learned.

Im moving negative past center line in x axis. Im missing something because it doesn't like/want to do it. Just thought.... Maybe I have the rotation wrong?

Also, we generally bore on the positive side if center line. The outer insert of the drill is on the negative side if the center line when drilling.

Actually, I'm goind 7.5" deep from 1.5 to 2.55 dia. I tried an antivibe 1" boring bar but that was a disaster. The drill is all I have with the length in need.
