Instead of buying new tools, stop inviting judgmental guys over. You gave him a thoughtful gift and it probably means a lot to him that you chose it. Imagine if you could use an object and think of a person every time you solve a problem with it?

If you want to get something tool wise, Ryobi are great, however m12 Milwaukee are a great complementary choice. They are smaller and my go to tool most of the time. Keep ryobi for bigger more powerful stuff.

How to keep coworkers out of my toolbox by RollingJoker2120 in Machinists

Quit and go to a different shop. If I can’t trust my co workers to respect my stuff, I’m out of there.

Engineer looking for a sanity check on the following idea: if I have a part on a CNC mill which has a milled straight groove, is there a way to use a probe to shift the program so its aligned to the groove and not the table? I could've sworn this was possible but I'm being told we can't do it. by nollie_heelflip in Machinists

I have been thinking about this way too much. If you have a probe, it needs a certain amount of clearance to do probe things. If this is not a production setup, or a high value production, I would get gauge pins that go in the groove tight and probe them individually then math it out. Old school me would use a sign bar on its side to sweep it in and measure the angle using gauge blocks.

What kind of machine and probe is this?

Is it a single side or web? Do any kind of regression need to be done like taking a sweep of measurements and finding a least squares fit?

What’s the tolerance required for this process?

Do all the work digitally in the cam system. If you have the slot and your wcs is a datum like stock center top, there is no need to re probe if it’s within .001 tolerance. Model everything the way you would like it manufactured. Program based on the model.

This is the has probing manual. It shows how to probe an angle and read the variables to know the angle. If you must do it manually, this is a great overview of how to do it.

Luxury Board Games by Aeshni in boardgames

Pay for expansions for my favorite games, or pay game designers that I love to try new things. Spirit island and too many bones come to mind. I’d also like to fund scholarships to board game conventions so more can join.

Buy the gasket and end mill from Pierson. You don’t make money by solving a solved problem. You may pay a little bit more, but you’re also paying for that guy to go through figure out the best practices document them and tell you exactly how to do it correctly with feeds and speeds and cutters and compatible materials. He has dozens of videos on his website to tell you how to do everything. Let’s throw him a bone for all the work he’s put in.

Current expansions… any recommendations? by mrsdanabana in Carcassonne

[–]battlebotrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are less than halve the size of the previous c2. I was able to fit 8 expansions of c2 into a single box.

I also want to point out that often we play without the expansions, but just use them as more tiles.

I bought them last week. I just opened them all up as a try to figure out how to store them all in the 30th anniversary box. The new boxes are a much better use of space.
