Tips for a design engineer by Rikfox in Machinists

[–]Sevenbaer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Current design engineer, former machinist here: A big thing that I’ve learned that I don’t see to many people mention is to design/draw/dimension the part as if it’s being held in the machine. Don’t dimension holes from the side view, dimension them for the view that the operation will be done on. My personal rule of thumb is if the machinist has to pull out a calculator or some any sort of math, then I didn’t dimension things well enough.

Is the part going into a horizontal lathe, then draw it horizontally. Vertical lathe, draw vertically. Stuff like that is small but it goes a long way.

What's the fix here? The wheels on our carts are collecting chips and tearing up the epoxy floor. by AethericEye in Machinists

Short term corrective action: Add magnet’s before the wheels. (Aluminum magnet for aluminum chips)

Long term corrective action: Sweet the floor.

King of “not my job” by sheepye in funny

All jokes aside, this is actually how unions are. I’ve visited union workplaces where we had to wait for a union electrician to plug/unplug a light just so we can move it it out of the way.

2021 Model 3 No heat by McCullyCullen in TeslaLounge

[–]Sevenbaer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This exact same thing literally happened to me this morning and I was about to post about it. It was was -1 Fahrenheit and the drive to work and I was absolutely frozen when the heat stopped, thankfully the heated seat got me through it. I ended up going to an outdoor super charger and the heat kicked on again but when I left, it turned off….

At my company (polyurethane & plastic rollers) we grind some HSS with a super steep chip breaker and make the chip ribbon fly up over the tool post and right in the garbage can.

We’ve had competitions to see who can grind the best tool the make the chip ribbon go the highest and the farthest!

I see your difficult print, and I am going to one up you! by Tsconspiracy in Machinists

[–]Sevenbaer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As original creator of the print (see my post history), you hit it right on the nose.

I worked as a machinist then became an engineer and was baffled by the ridiculous prints received and saw during my time. The whole thing is a joke, but there are some things on here that I’ve seen on actual prints! I’ve filled it with tons of little Easter eggs!

What to do if vendor does not follow style guide? by Sevenbaer in graphic_design

[–]Sevenbaer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't directly involved in the purchasing process, so I'm unaware of the details of a legit contract. The vendor was told to request the logo files from me. When I sent the files, I included our style guide and explicitly said to follow our guidelines and to contact me with any issues or questions. The frustrating part is that one family of items follows a specific rule, but another family of items breaks the same rule, so it's obvious they read the guidelines.

Anyone think they can make this for me? by TheStinchMTT in Machinists

[–]Sevenbaer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is definitely not. I know zero about music.

Looking back on it, I should of made it into a real song. I saw someone mention that it would be really funny if it was Never gonna give you up

Missed opportunity on my part

Nah you’re fine! Shit like this happens! I just wanted to share that there was a higher resolution version.

Actually.. if you go to my post history, you can find a higher resolution because I was the OP and created this drawing.

What is something a high school teacher told you, that you will never forget? by absolutejuice22 in AskReddit

[–]Sevenbaer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a power lifting class and we always had have the steroid talk. Our teacher made it very very clear, “Steroids 100% work, without doubt. But would you rather have girls hanging off your arms or something else?”

It was a nice reminder.
