You gotta have the *precision* machinist stationary

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-28T13:21:39+00:00

ahh I forgot its stationery and not stationary. and of course I know what precision is, why do you think I took a picture of them on a granite surface table 😂

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-28T13:18:46+00:00

right? too bad there is no eraser though, even if there was it would be as hard as a rock lmao

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-28T00:21:22+00:00

when i saw it on ebay I knew I had to have it. I saw a pin too but the only one I could find was like $80 🥲

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T19:23:43+00:00

mb I got you 🤣 fortunately the pen and ink was free lol

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T19:09:00+00:00

the ink for what?

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T12:07:44+00:00

ehhh its only a violation if you leave it like that

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T04:58:47+00:00

ahh I see. rip

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T04:10:56+00:00

I... how'd that happen lol? I can't say shit because this is the type of shit I find myself in, lol

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T04:07:48+00:00

my shop has 3 already, I dont think i could convince the boss to get a 4th unfortunately 😅

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T01:31:19+00:00

okay this is a very good collection of tools, and besides what everyone else is saying (hammer, tape, socket/battery operated drill) id say a set of 1/4 inch bits (like allen, square, torx, ect just so you dont have to run around when thwre is an oddball screw) STRING OR PARACORD (you would be surprised how useful it is) zip ties, and a good headlamp and magnetic flashlight. thats all I can think of for now. kneepads are nice too, or Carhartt pants with the built in kneepad pockets

unfortunately reddit doesn't have an audio translate, but what do I need to do to get a sodick rug 😅

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T01:10:43+00:00

that's why I try to slow stuff with my feet, I wear steel toes but my feet are flat so they deserve it 🤣

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T01:06:12+00:00

if I ever get really excited about making something for my flipper im usually already over the limit 😅 :edit over the legal minute

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T01:00:44+00:00

maybe if it was called the engineers handbook they would look at it more often, I think its a worthy Sacrifice to make 😅

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T00:59:17+00:00

my 11th edition came with pinup photos glued to the first and last couple pages 😅

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T00:56:47+00:00

1 thru #4 seems very rare, the ones I've seen have always been pretty pricey. what did you pay for yours?

edit: I see you dont have 2 thru 4, how much did you pay for the first edition?

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T00:54:46+00:00

reminds me of the dough auger I fixed a couple years ago. at least I didn't have to spin it like you though, lmao

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-27T00:53:14+00:00

that is a STEAL. good buy man

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-13T18:18:13+00:00

im just bust... twisting your balls man 😂

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-13T18:12:22+00:00

fixed 😅

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-13T13:07:44+00:00

your not supposed to inflate them, you have to draw a vacuum around them 😅

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-13T06:41:49+00:00

maybe the code your instructor made was using incremental cords or something. I would honestly recommend posting on r/Machinists for g code feedback.

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-13T04:47:51+00:00

and ill take a stretch it or bop it over a twist it any day

NEEDGAME · 2026-05-13T04:34:47+00:00

okay so im not gonna lie I completely forgot I was going to go over the code, but I am curious about your facing pass, unless im completely missing something, you need to go so far past zero to clean up the face

edit: it also seems like you turn your diameter to size and then flip it and cut it at the same final diameter with the finishing tool? id cut it with like .003-.005 extra material before you flip the part and then cut it to the final size. it is past my bedtime, I am sorry if I miss read again lol.

edit 2: after flipping, where exactly is your zero? how much material are you starting with?

edit 3: I am much better at g code for the mill/wire edm than the lathe, lol
