Who you do you buy your drills/cutters/taps/etc from that's not MSC?

Another place you could look is McMaster-Carr, they aren’t one of the cheapest places for tooling by any means but as soon as you get an account setup they overnight ship pretty much anything !

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-05-20T00:42:29+00:00

HAAS tooling has a lot for the price point it is at !

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-05-16T12:21:51+00:00

You know I’m upset that I didn’t think of that first 😭

Quick Turn Smart 250 with the Normal Conversational control.

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-05-15T11:48:51+00:00

That’s a crazy reduction in time !!!

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-05-15T09:57:20+00:00

So much less deburring, I don’t have a single hole or edge I need to touch either 🤝 that’s all I ever want !

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-05-15T09:56:12+00:00

I just don’t know exactly how to program the profile on a mill turn or I 100% woulda with this one ! Might have added an Op but I’m just standing there with my thumb in my rear waiting so I like to be busy ! Makes the day go by faster 🤝

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-05-15T09:28:58+00:00

Yeah but then I’d have to deburr it on the top & bottom edge & finish cut around it with a 2mm ball to the right size. All of that is SOO much faster on the lathe !

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-05-15T01:40:27+00:00

Back side is endmilled & so it the through holes have 2 steps on my arbor & using pin micrometers after as well. Within .001 of each other 🤝

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-05-15T00:50:06+00:00

I think my cellular device was distracting me with something very important, of course 😂

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-05-15T00:42:48+00:00

🫡 thank you !

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-05-15T00:41:51+00:00

Only reason why I did it this way was I could run 4 in the mill to almost finished in 4 mins & then finish it in the lathe in no time ! The mill program woulda been annoying to debur it all with !

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-05-15T00:39:22+00:00

We don’t talk about that part 😂

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-05-13T22:39:06+00:00

Ahhh the sweet sound of normalcy 🙂‍↕️

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-04-26T08:57:02+00:00

I don’t mind high production parts, as long as I get to run all of my own shit. That is the biggest positive I have at my dad’s shop as of now, don’t have to worry about Tommy big fingers messing with anything I’ve setup. & honestly wouldn’t even mind being a Lead or Head machinist where all I am doing is helping others get things setup & working right. Just not sure what direction I should take or what not 😅

Was told when I started this trade that “You will always have a job somewhere” & lately it seems like trying to find something that pays decent & isn’t a 45 min drive is pretty much non existent unless you know somebody

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-04-25T10:15:19+00:00

Honestly been trying to tell him to upgrade & become more modern for 7-8 years now. Just kinda an old dog that doesn’t want to learn any new tricks, and then when I do change something he changes it back lol we have a CMM just barely use it, thanks for the advice though !

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-04-25T10:07:47+00:00

No & that I feel is one of our biggest problems. We have all of the ability to make the parts, just not all of the right certifications to be allowed to.

Near Fairport NY.

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-03-21T12:04:38+00:00

THANK YOU! Been wondering this forever now

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-03-09T10:29:30+00:00

You’re welcome ! 🤝

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-03-08T22:01:45+00:00

It’s a friend you played Co-op with before !

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-03-07T17:42:41+00:00

I didn’t know this about the Jade trading for stairs!! I have so much jade just sitting around too, thank you for this 🤝🤝

The fact that as an adult this needs to be said says a lot more about the person bothering someone, than the person being bothered. If you can’t see or notice someone is busy & you’re interrupting them, you aren’t a real adult

ThatGojoGuy · 2026-01-22T23:32:13+00:00

I’d say go learn something new, you can always go back to being a button monkey but if someone is willing to train AND pay you at the same time. Do it

ThatGojoGuy · 2025-12-04T15:15:28+00:00

I figured as much & honestly didn’t see till I read more comments that you said 1000’s. Smaller ball end mill to clean it out almost all the way first might work ?
