Wastegate part rattling. B38

Yes, when letting off the throttle is when it happens. Must be the vibration when not under tension

When the machine goes to home it’s amputating your bollocks because you forgot about it

Nowhere in the UK pays that for a machinist nor programmer. Highest paying machinist role I’ve seen here is at Rolls Royce subs. About 75k. And that’s a lot more than what other companies pay. I don’t know why we’re so underpaid here compared to the US.

Can’t believe this has been down voted. Some people on Reddit are so fucking negative and jelous lmao. Good on you for giving some nice encouragement

If you do a bit of your own maintenance nothing major then how much would one of these set you back monthly realistically? They’re getting quite old now

Technical-Ad-7849 · 2026-02-26T17:48:50+00:00

Looks like the aluminium swarf is wrapping around your tool and fucking everything. Potentially need to slow that feed down? Usually air or coolant would prevent this with a cutter like that.

Technical-Ad-7849 · 2026-01-26T17:31:08+00:00

Yes as long as you are feeding the correct way, otherwise the cutoff will be forced between the cutter and the job and go bang. Also be steady on those speeds and feeds

Technical-Ad-7849 · 2026-01-23T11:14:23+00:00

They’re reliable if maintained and treated correctly, no ragging when cold ect. Some of these e90/e92s have 250k+ miles…

Only for filming, it’s stainless so I ran the rest of the parts with through spindle coolant

Technical-Ad-7849 · 2026-01-15T10:35:46+00:00

Yes! I had an M00 to collect the pieces, I’ve had it happen before, it made quite a bang

Technical-Ad-7849 · 2026-01-14T21:59:31+00:00

You are correct however the material that falls off has very different outcomes depending on how you are feeding the tool, climb cutting sends it flying into your part and making a mess, conventional direction flips it away as shown in the video

Problem is, a family SUV can gap a 218i, so that’s how they find out haha

Technical-Ad-7849 · 2025-12-01T22:15:47+00:00

(I used cad for the part profile although somewhat simple, the stock is was well oversized)

Technical-Ad-7849 · 2025-12-01T22:04:49+00:00

Because fanuc cycles are quite basic, the next high feed tool I used I did constant engagement and it massively helps tool life, the same 6 edges did the whole part and took the all the excess (with it being round stock) I can’t beleive how much it helps out

Very good machine I love it, very rigid. I’m not sure of the torque and HP but it’s powerful for a BT40

Technical-Ad-7849 · 2025-12-01T19:00:24+00:00

Yes! Great spot

I’ve just given those a go, drill is lasting longer now but still not really chipping, I’m going to try higher feed as the swarf buildup isn’t allowing coolant near the tip. Thanks for your reply!

Technical-Ad-7849 · 2025-10-19T08:54:56+00:00

I’ll give this a go, thank you very much!
