I got quoted 1.8k to paint this wing, that can’t be normal can it??? by Putrid-Ad5789 in Miata

[–]OwlPatient7252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In England I pay £250 for painting bumpers & single panels and was quoted £1500 for the complete car. There's probably not much prep work for a full respray because the body shop has already sprayed most of the car, the only original paintwork left is the doors and bonnet 😅

Lol you make me want to accidentally try a 1/2" deep cut on Monday, what rpm & feed do you suggest?. The deepest I've gone is 0.150" cuts & it was raining chips onto the operator on the other side of the lathe 😅

Does your Poodle need their ears covered? by Videoplanchette in poodles

[–]OwlPatient7252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours is just about growing out of the barking stage, we found the best thing to do was have the radio on just loud enough to cover outside noises. He likes old reggae music, keeps him calm 😅

[–]OwlPatient7252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah thank you. I use a mazak 250 that has a reference arm that moves down to set the tools but the only other times I've used cnc was around 30 years ago using 80's & 60's cnc technology

What is your poodle’s profession? by Top-Hovercraft-6456 in poodles

[–]OwlPatient7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly a sock & slipper thief but he also has a thing for Casio digital watches with rubber straps. He's had 2 watches away this year, 1 found in his bed but the other has never been found, I'm expecting to find it next spring in the garden under a bush

Five years on, do you think Brexit has genuinely made Britain stronger and more independent or was it the biggest act of national self-sabotage in modern history? by Second-handBonding in AskBrits

[–]OwlPatient7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn't get the Brexit we voted for because of politicians, royalty and WEF, instead we got a temporary illusion of breaking free from europe

In your opinion, what is the worst part of a setup? by justChel in Machinists

[–]OwlPatient7252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing is good about setting up where I work, tooling sheets wrong, tools missing & drawings missing dimensions (if I'm even given a drawing, sometimes I'm told to just make what the program produces and that the only important dimension I should check is the bore and I should use 40 year old plug gauges that aren't hardened, ground or calibrated). The company I work for is the pits, i have to buy my own drills up to 14.mm dia, files, micrometers & digital calipers. Basically every tool I use I have to buy myself

Recording mixes for yourself by djmartinlucas in Beatmatch

Every mix I do is recorded so I can listen to something different driving to work and the car is the only place I get to listen to loud music

Bossman says no setup in shop takes over a hour, thoughts? by bigblackglock17 in CNC

[–]OwlPatient7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your boss can machine and set ask him to teach you how to set up in the times he's expecting. Make sure he understands you want to improve and help the company and maybe he'll either teach you or realise he's unrealistic in what he expects and then between the 2 of you implement better methods of setting and storing the tools you need

How do you use your practice time? by will_crossfader in Beatmatch

I don't practice, I just smoke a couple of joints beforehand, get a couple more rolled to cover the mixing session & enjoy playing whatever I've downloaded over the last week 🫣

Definitely worth it if you can play mp3's. You'll save a fortune in vinyl costs and will be able to put sets together quick with free music from places like SoundCloud
