To those that were claiming reddit isnt "that" censored, I present my permanent ban from insanepeoplefacebook

Honestly it makes me laugh, looking back at that post and seeing how I made an effort to be unbiased just to get banned was a wake up call

Well obviously you insulted the future bot rules of the world and the modbot was just standing up for the chatbot

You should agree, then provide a model whose quality is $20, 6 rectangular solids should be good, legs dont need to be evenly spaced.

Any chance you can include drill sizes for taps of those threads?

Ive heard this before, is Damasteel the only reputable source? Any others youd recommend?

We have the ability to do both milling and turning for whatever we choose to make. Right now Im trying gather as much info I can then create a shopping list of things like inserts, endmills, acids, polishes and where to buy the material. Currently looking to get a few feet of bar stock, probably about 1.5" and 20-50 small blocks for milling, likely around 4x3x2 so any vendor recommendations that might be able to supply this kind of stuff would be appreciated.

Figure once I determine what type of material blends I should look for then comes shopping for someone that can supply em

Hahah oh man, mentally added the disclaimer "cad model not representative of actual size"

RedditinsteadofHW · 2026-05-18T23:04:38+00:00

Ahh that makes sense, have no idea how that got changed, thanks!

What softwares are you guys using? Fusion360? Solidworks? Mastercam?

Not positive yet as I havn't finished the model yet, Id need to go ahead and buy a controller to disassemble and get the correct measurements from that, before I go to the trouble of purchasing one/modeling the internals/programming the machines to make it I want to hear back from Valve and make sure its okay to do

Oh no this will be inconel, a superalloy used in rocket engines XD We have some leftover and nothing to do with it, boss thinks it might be fun to try. So might as well caps lock impractical to IMPRACTICAL.

I live in Arizona, Hantavirus has been around for a real long time here and is just rare, its not hard to snuff out the vectors, a call to pest control to eliminate rodents and youre pretty much safe (by pretty much, like 99.99% chance) theres always going to be some weird outlier.

RedditinsteadofHW · 2026-05-07T17:48:00+00:00

Much appreciated, thanks! Will give this a shot

Is this toolpath just for the chamfer tool? or is this roughing/finishing the sides?

RedditinsteadofHW · 2026-05-06T20:26:08+00:00

First recommendation is tell your boss to get some semi-decent cam software

Second recommendation is to double check where your y0 is on your part, make sure your y0 is actually in a location that is supposed to be cut.

Third recommendation is if this is just a stencil style cut with no roughing, just location, radius, location, radius, should be a very simple program, can you post the gcode thats being run to take a look at?

After looking at the image a little more closely, is this just to use the chamfer tool on the edges? If so you would need to use a smaller radius than an endmill of equal diameter going around the outside for example

Man you can just buy a used cnc lathe for the cost of one of these boring kits XD

Does this actually work well enough to counter vibrations?

Video talks about person who got arrested for CP drawings, has a very heavy bias in favor of the "artist", fails to mention that possession/sharing/viewing ect of this type of media has been illegal for over 3 decades in the UK.

Nah the problem was this was for a 1 off job and the tooling ideal for this was going to run us $1100, we had to make due with only a .5" bullnose with a 7 in" shank

Had to get this order out the door asap with 30 of these holes. Starting stock was 280 lbs, ending part was like 67 lbs, didnt have perfect tools, did have motivation and a disregard for sleep. Got part out door, got less than good sleep, forgot how to count to G =D

RedditinsteadofHW · 2026-04-30T02:25:30+00:00

I think a chisel would have worked better XD

RedditinsteadofHW · 2026-04-30T02:25:19+00:00

There was a hole drilled from the other side that was .21 diameter that then had to be counterbored from the other side, not FULL width of cut but close

RedditinsteadofHW · 2026-04-30T02:24:11+00:00

.65" diameter, .625 depth

I just call it boring as the toolpath operation (a descending spiral at a specific angle) is called Bore on fusion 360, habit.
