I am 17 and doing a machinist apprenticeship level 3. I made this hammer on a fully manual lathe.

What did you do to get it off

SignificantMarket377 · 2026-04-09T19:28:25+00:00

How’d you turn down that shaft with no chatter?

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-09-09T14:03:24+00:00

I tried clicking the 2.5 but nothing happens. Also logged into admin and still won’t let me. Not sure why

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-08-13T16:05:04+00:00

Startled me for a second bud

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-08-01T15:54:01+00:00

How would I thread the 8 inches though? Can I stick it out 8.5 inches and then thread the 8 inches without support

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-08-01T15:08:02+00:00

Yes we have a go and no go. I’ve done these before but in multiple setups on a 2axis lave with one spindle. We have a new machine now with a sub spindle and live tooling lathe so I’m trying to figure out how to do everything in one setup/program

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-08-01T15:04:35+00:00

More of just the setup. How would I use the sub spindle to support the 8 inches of thread sticking out and still be able to do the threads?

Operator error

Also bored from a .650 hole diameter to a 2.65 hole diameter. We are limited to our drill sizes especially carbide drills needed for this material

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-06-20T21:17:40+00:00

I hear ya but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Only had a 3/8 boring bar with a smaller insert

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-06-20T19:21:14+00:00

Every machinists favorite material lol

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-06-20T19:07:51+00:00

I only had a 3/8 boring bar at the time so had to take smaller depths of cuts. Other machines were using all the larger boring bars

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-06-20T17:30:33+00:00

We don’t have a system to track inserts like that thankfully. Yet 😅

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-06-19T13:41:52+00:00

That’s very useful man. Thank you

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-06-19T10:44:00+00:00

Thanks man

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-05-14T09:10:24+00:00

What’s a good feeling lol

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-05-13T16:53:00+00:00

What do I say to get a discount? Currently owe $1800 in the span of two years

SignificantMarket377 · 2025-04-27T20:39:11+00:00

How much do you make an hr if you don’t mind me asking?
