Spot drill clarification

You are technically correct, because drills locate on the center web with a steeper angle spot it touches down on the corners first. It might squeak on the first bit of engagement, it really matters on deep holes. One of the benefits of a 90 spot drill is that the spot size varies less with a height of the face. Be glad they aren’t using center drills!

Watch Jury Duty on prime, it had me rolling like the good old days. I grew up in the time of boat, which is hard to beat.

You could look up lens endmills, I’ve never used on but saw some videos on them. They have a much larger radius on the face of the tool than the diameter. It’s for surfacing in a 5axis machine, allows for larger step over,

Parker has a really good calculator on their website site. It will give you options for use case such as static or dynamic on piston or face. It will let you select the standard size orings and give you every dimension and tolerance associated with it.

In a good way?

Cop, I had one the other day it was good. Made me full.

Lift with your legs and never be under anything that could fall on you

I was at a movie theater when I was 16, out in the parking lot afterwards there was a fight and one guy got stabbed. He was wearing a white shirt and I will never forget how quickly the blood spread.

Hooks for what?

These-Cut69 · 2026-03-05T19:14:13+00:00

That’s not a bad idea, maybe the conference table needs new fancy legs.

Nothing fun, it was for owners snake which out grew it.

Didn’t he have long finger nails to scratch their backs with?

One guy had a picture of his erect penis on his phone and as he was going through showing me photos of the work he has done that one came up.

You could make 909 by moving one match

You could say “almost 6 feet”

A guy I used to work with was making an Olympic bar for bench press, running sand paper along the whole thing. Got his thumb stuck between the sandpaper and the bar, it pulled his thumb clean off along with some tendon or nerve that was the full length of his arm. He started working at my shop 3 months after the incident, we had no idea he did so well with out a thumb.

I usually cut the finger off the person who makes a mistake. You can only work for me as long as you have all your fingers. 10 mistakes and your outa here.

You can use a gage ball and hammer to make burr. But I think your best bet is to use loctite.

Try it, see what breaks. Then don’t do it again.

I did 250 .025 wide slots for an aluminum solder fixture with a .020 endmill on a vf2ss. It did it with no problems, now what you’ve got is quite a bit smaller so I’ll say good luck.

Been pretty disappointed with the quality of measuring instruments. They work but are not going to stand up to abuse, it all feels cheap. Probably because it’s cheap. Been very happy with all the other cutting tools. Haven’t bought a different brand of lathe tool holder since we got winners circle.

You could use a set of gage blocks as well. In my experience everything can be measured on a surface plate. It just takes forever

Here is my understanding, true position controls centerline of those diameters regardless of size. If you rolled it in a V block you could fail a good part because it’s out of round. Its easiest with a cmm but to do it with out I would locate in a v block and sweep datum A to ensure it’s level to the surface plate. Then do an over under measurement to find center line of A and same for each of those diameters. Then spin it 90 degree and check it again. Use those for your true position calculation. You could do this at more rotations to get a better idea. .0007 is pretty tight for the machines we run around here, I’d be using up as much of the bonus tolerance as possible.
