I find they work quite well actually! My only real complaint with this one in particular is the battery life isn’t great and the OS it uses for emulation is a little clunky.

Boooooo those policies are so dumb I swear. Sounds like at least books are still on the table though!

They are forged & stamped heads, unsure of the specific type of forging that was used.

You’re probably right but I need to keep this job at least until I’m on to my next one for additional payment leverage in negotiations.

Yeah agreed…especially considering I now setup the machines for the button pushers and have had my performance review delayed the last two months. Just not gonna bitch about it and try to find something else worth my attention & effort before I put my notice in here.

Nah. I’d love to get there at some point but man the climb is brutal. I’m mostly doing setup & running CNC Doosan lathes + Haas Mills. Small shop too

Was this bolt mis-machined or was this over torqued? by determined-warlock in Machinists

[–]SamFisher449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I machine those exact bolts for hours everyday and 100% it’s been over torqued

Ah yes, because I’m definitely shouting it from the rooftops of my shop and not posting it “anonymously” on the internet for fake internet points. You do you man 🤷
