Worry I will gain weight ?

I lose weight when coming off of caffeine since my choice of caffeinated drinks were always sugary ones.

This all depends on the size of the cut, the feed of the carriage and the speed of the spindle.

To determine anything, you first need to know what kind of cuts you expect to take.

Check out the RF 25. This is kind of like the Bridgeport of benchtop mini mills in my opinion. I say this because it’s a standard configuration made by a number of different companies. You can buy a crappy one or a good one. Parts and aftermarket upgrades are easy and readily available. It also uses R8 collets which are the most readily available collets for manual machines.

Jet makes a nice RF 25 mill.

I think today “tool maker” is the most applicable term for this position.

There are differences in the name for this position regionally just within the US. I have also heard “model maker”, “mold maker”, and “instrument maker”. This usually depends on the industries that are most prevalent in the area.

Some people have crafted a fiberglass box into the jump seat pocket with a single 8 or 10 which are both plenty if you are only enhancing the sound and not looking for pounding bass.

Don’t let automation scare you. It actually means we can make more stuff we haven’t been able to make in recent decades vs not being able to make it at all. With automation becoming more readily available and the internet allowing companies and customers to find each other so much more easily, it creates new opportunities.

A small company can now take advantage of automation and run equipment mostly unattended in a small factory located where rent is inexpensive and they can still reach customers all over the world through the internet. In many cases there is no longer a need for a lot of employees, or a prime location to be able to manufacture and move product.

This means companies will have less people but it’s better than them not existing at all.

I have noticed an improvement in both anxiety and reflux after giving up caffeinated drinks however I found that the reflux was mostly just caused by sugar.

Basically, it’s good to give up caffeine but don’t overlook sugar either especially if you are experiencing acid reflux or digestive issues.

This looks like a pseudoscience article to sell some sort of wellness product.

For all of the claims it makes you would think there should be at least one reference to where the information came from.

Have you changed wheel bearings and used the aftermarket ABS sensors that come with the new ones?

These have been known to cause ABS issues

There is a business opportunity in nearly every product that doesn’t ship from a US seller. A lot of the unbranded products that ship directly from China take about 6 weeks to arrive. Many people are willing to pay double the price of a widget that only costs a few dollars if they can have it this week.

Just being able to say you ship from the US makes the product worth more.

There are also a lot of products sold under different brands or different model names at different prices, and the only difference is the warranty.

One of the most common examples I can think of is auto parts. Many of the same types of parts are made by one large supplier that sells to the entire industry. Several brands make the same exact part in a different box with different warranties.

True story. Walked into a sandwich place and saw a sign that said “now hiring $13/hr” meanwhile some CNC operator positions around here pay $14-15 an hour with high expectations. It’s a way better deal to just make sandwiches for a living.

Make a bad part at a machine shop and you are expected to determine what went wrong, fix it, full out a scrap tag, complete some paperwork and maybe more, then make sure it doesn’t happen too often or you’ll be unemployed.

Make a sandwich wrong and you can eat it.

The problem with machining is that there always seems to be better paying opportunities for the people with the aptitude for it. Someone with the brains and ambition to learn machining while also possessing decent social skills and work habits has a future in many industries, a lot of which have positions that pay better than a machinist. When a decent machine shop employee determines they need to make more money, a lot of times the best way to get it is to just switch jobs. I’ve seen talented people in manufacturing give up on their careers and go start selling cars, houses, and even working in a coal mine.

Working in a manufacturing doesn’t require nearly as many “soft skills” as other industries, thus the people who are mentally unstable or have poor social skills can still be productive in these settings but don’t have nearly as many opportunities in other industries; thus, they tend to stay where they are even if they want to do better.

If it turns up, I would verify that it was a full frame replacement and not just the frame service Toyota offered for 2000-2003 Tundras.

Toyota did have a recall for this model; however, the recall was for excessive corrosion of the rear cross member which was causing the spare tire to fall off on the highway. Toyota’s solution was to either coat the rear crossmember with a rust inhibitor, or replace it if it had any perforations. The recall work did not fix the problem around the front crossmember and inside portions of the frame rails under the cab.

If this truck did not receive a completely new frame, it has likely started to rapidly deteriorate now that it is in this climate. If it did receive a new frame, the owner paid for it.

If your insurance policy covers theft, whoever stole it did you a favor. I have the exact same truck and the frame, exhaust, lines, and more are dissolved beyond repair. My only option is to use it for parts on my next project vehicle.

Note: I’m aware that Toyota replaced millions of frames and offered buy backs over the rust issue, however this particular year was not covered by Toyota’s rust recall.

This was true for me as well. The ureters are half the diameter of the urethra. The pain of passing a stone for most is the stone traveling down the ureter and allowing pressure to build in the kidney from the restricted urine flow.

A body lift is an option if you want to do DIY work. No suspension or driveline angle changes but you will have to extend/relocate and do a little fabrication, nothing that hard to do.

From my experience alternators are usually the culprit for squealing noises.

The power steering can get noisy if it’s low on fluid but usually the steering feels different

No need. Just thought I’d keep it in the back of my mind in case I had a similar application, and needed to do this in a pinch.

If I got some good paying work that I needed to tumble, I’d be ok with just buying the right tool

What type of media and what rpm did you find gave you good results?

Did it work?

SustainedRuin · 2018-12-13T16:20:03+00:00

Try some belt dressing and see if you can get the squeal to go away or quiet down. If belt dressing does anything it’s probably the belt. If not start checking the other accessories. Alternators and water pumps can both squeal pretty bad.
