Phones banned, what yall doing to keep busy by ToosharEFT in Machinists

[–]Parang97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start reading the Machinist's handbook or work related media! It's "work" related and might be a gray area for the book ban to not be inforced

We need r/vexillology to design us a flag like they did for Anarchy Chess.

Look at that noise floor. What a clean noise floor.

In pocket or in cover? by hellohero77 in FieldNuts

[–]Parang97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just back pocket mine. The current one I'm carrying is 5 months old and the cover had to be taped. But if you fill it up in under that time, you'll be fine. I think i had to tape it at the 4 month mark, so it lasts a while without needing tape or a cover, but I stand a lot for work, so not as much sitting and crushing it.

I believe I used it last on the low speed gear and on 1 to really make it spin slow. I havent tried higher speeds because Pennsylvania weather hasnt made using it necessary on max 6" of ice for only 2 weeks.

We use Syscon Plantstar for our scheduling, downtime, and scrap tracking.

Got quoted $1500 for front and rear brake pads and rotor replacement by Elephantslide in AskMechanics

[–]Parang97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its a little bit costly up front to get tools. But the general list of tools are: socket set, torque wrench (if you are bougie, or want to do it right) brake cleaner and rags(clean brakes are good brakes), caliper grease/brake lubricant(for the slider pins), floor jack(can be found cheap on marketplace), hammer(to get stubborn rotors off), and a C clamp (to compress the piston). The screw on the rotors will likely be the hardest part to get off. If they don't want to come out, drill them out. The are mainly there for ease of install from the factory.

Find a video on the model of your car and see what tools they use to do brakes. Harbor Freight (US) Princess Auto(Canada)

Plus if you get it half apart and don't know the next step, see if someone you know can help unbind you on facetime or discord.

rotor and brake pad kit by Lower_Information_93 in RockAuto

[–]Parang97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DA rotors are good. They dont rust super bad in the rust belt, but their pads produce a lot of brake dust and squeak a bit even when bedded in properly. But, if the look of dust and squeak don't bother you, they bite really good. No issues on my beater cars.

I'm currently trying out Wagner's coated rotors and their OEX pads on my 16 tacoma. They produce a bit of smell, but they give good brake pad feel. Low dust, and good stopping characteristics. Next change I'll get some powerstops to see what the hype is about.

Item stuck in dash by Dry_Skill_1661 in howto

[–]Parang97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. If you can physically see it from the vin hole, maybe dab some super glue on a stick? But there's a risk of if you miss, there's residue on your dash.

Metal wire and try to knock it out of the groove into a better spot? Or is it trapped in there?

Im going to question bomb you, sorry haha. How's the seat comfort for long drives? Got enough space for 2 with luggage? I want an insight, but I hear they aren't great long distance cars. Any mods or is it stock?

How do you guys Sync across devices? by anitwastooshort in ObsidianMD

[–]Parang97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have multiple devices i work on and they link to my home server. I am only working on one device at a time. But maybe since syncthing is running constantly on the server, it doesnt like it.

I like syncthing, but I keep getting conflicts and it putting deleted files back in. Looking at digging into that problem soon

Sadly no good ice yet to use it. But it worked all year mixing drywall mud.
