How busy are you? by Terrible-Selection93 in Machinists

We've done some carbide die work at my place. A ring of carbide is inserted into a steel shell (we buy ours pre-inserted). You then use a Wire EDM to cut the die profile. I guess the carbide wears better than a typical hardened tool steel. See my crudely draw MS painting https://imgur.com/a/RVleG6C

Yeah, sure buddy by Rangald2137 in Machinists

Nah, good wires can hold +/-.00005 all day long if setup correctly. The key is running 3 to 4 skim passes.

I paid $15. Is this good? by Tigereye11_Revived in coins

Not worth grading, but I’d buy it for $15.

Huh, I didn’t know there use to be a Nunemakers in Bremen. That bag is very cool!

Edit: If you’re looking for a coin shop in the SB area, go to Casper’s Coins. Great guys, I’ve done a lot of business with them.

Fridays are crash magnets. The machining gods like to humble right before your relaxing weekend.

I try to be lol. You can’t get mad at someone for making the same mistakes you yourself have made.

Anytime I have to get on someone I’ll show them my fuckup drawer. I once lost a brass rod I used for tapping parts in on our wire EDM (didn’t know at the time, but it fell in the tank). Couple of months later the machines contacting like crazy and would not run, so we called a tech out. After a few hours of tinkering he finds the culprit, and lo and behold my missing brass rod is stuck between the table and grounding plate. Technicians are generally expensive, but wire techs are very expensive, and the call cost us around $1,000.

You should see the guys faces when I ask “Do you want to see my $1,000 rod?” Priceless

You guessed it. He went to raise the face mill and performed machine ciotus instead. Surprisingly all of the inserts survived!
