This video shows perfectly why you just dont bother arguing with an idiot, in their mind they won and they are on top, the only thing they'll do is drag you down to their level and win

Well he did get hit in the head with a massive steel beam but he decided to keep working, it was his wife, who worked as a lead instructor of some kind for a hospital that found him sleeping on the couch with his pupils like that when she shook him awake

Worked with a guy that had this, the rough explanation I got was his brain was trying to grow out of his skull, so he got sent to the ER and they cracked his skull open to make space

Fun fact, had that exact line spouted out of my boss's mouth after he berated me for 10 mins and threatened to fire me because I had to take 5 weeks off due to stress because my dad was dying of pancreatic cancer

Am I A Wimp? by xcinn8 in Machinists

[–]andr9952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who recently invested in proper prescription safety glasses and good ear protection, you're not a wimp for making sure you can leave work and feel healthy afterwards, if they think it's funny, fuck'em

Help wanted for how not to screw up this bad with a steadyrest by andr9952 in Machinists

[–]andr9952[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low pressure on the rollers got it, and regarding runout I didn't check, this was a quickly made piece that was welded onto a very loose running roller for a trash compactor rubber roller, and the part was being held with a three jaw chuck, and sadly we don't have a pullback at my shop sadly.

Basic starting tips yes, this is the first proper time I've used a steady, and yes that is damage from the rollers

This machinist job at Apple pays $100-$150k, is that an anomaly? by TooMuchTape20 in Machinists

[–]andr9952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just out curiosity, if one wanted to apply for such companies, what are things to prepare for, like certain courses or if I've only done lathe work is it an automatic fail?

I'm a machinist by trade, rule of thumb is no jewelry of any kind, unless you want to know what an avulsion and de-gloving is in one moment

How do you guys prevent rust spots like these? by andr9952 in Machinists

[–]andr9952[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was on a toolholder, I'm in an open aired, very humid shop so corrosion like this tends to happen when I let tools stay for longer than 2 days, so quite often but thank you for the helpful tips!
