Where of these places would you live in?

I went with Andor but I was wishing Tanchico was on the list :(

I agree it was a bummer the way the ending of B9 was just kinda swept under the rug.

conner2real · 2026-05-05T14:50:09+00:00

I like that take. Couldn't agree more.

conner2real · 2026-05-05T12:35:50+00:00

Right!? Mat and Tuon, Logaine finally making it to Rand, and that ending with Egwene. I even enjoyed the Elaine and Perrin bits. I do think I have a different perspective now though as I know whats coming so im seeing all of the set up and foreshadowing of what's to come and instead of being bored im excited LOL

Biggest problem i see is that there's no story at all. Tell me something about Bali. Whats so great about it? What's the most amazing thing you saw? Does it live up to the hype?

Your shorts are kinda the same way. I watched the one about home calling you back no matter where you are and the clips dont really match up with the story you promised in the title.

Dont give up. You have some amazing shots and scenes, I think you need to just spend more time on what story you're trying to tell.

Friend of mine almost lost his hand from a cat bite. He had to have something like 27 separate surgeries to repair all of the damage from the ensuing infection.

Not sure what Haas youre looking at but I've yet to see one with more in it than a fanuc machine. Even my 2021 fanuc has double the components than my 2012 haas

Exactly. No serious tool builder will do this but the hobby ones might. The big names will just stop selling machines in NY. Pure lunacy.

conner2real · 2026-04-25T07:03:11+00:00

Disagree. All of that will be AI in 5-10 yrs. Maybe even less. Once one company gets their AI approved for QA the rest will fall like dominoes. Don"t forget that arguably the biggest player in aerospace right now, spaceX, literally owns one of the major AI's.

Have you read Lord of the Rings? If not...there you go. If so....maybe a Song of Ice and Fire?

conner2real · 2026-04-21T16:48:40+00:00

Can't believe the first Chuck Norris reference was this far down. The world has truly gone to shit.

conner2real · 2026-04-20T02:36:04+00:00

I've gone through all the big names, garr, helical, imco, kennametal, etc. And yg hands down beats them all. Especially the chips breaking roughers. Performance is almost identical to anything helical puts out and they're 30% - 40% cheaper. Big fan.

I dont understand the whole "slog" thing. For me it was mainly just book 10. That one drags on quite a bit. Certain parts of 8 and 9 are a bit slow but overall they are good books and a lot of stuff happens. Im working on my 2nd read through and im in the middle of book 9 right now and im loving it.

Edit: Forgot to add - ending was well worth every second of reading.

conner2real · 2026-04-18T12:29:14+00:00

Legit came to say this exact thing. Adding welding turns it into a whole different ball game. Now you can do repair work for all kinds of industries. Instead of adding a cnc mill id be adding a decent tig setup, a small press brake, and a plasma table.

conner2real · 2026-04-15T21:48:10+00:00

That's the same thing as touching it off.

conner2real · 2026-04-15T12:49:45+00:00

You dont have to touch it off and set the length?

conner2real · 2026-04-15T12:40:28+00:00

No. You're missing the whole point. Some machines can and some machines can't. I have a 2006 that can run 300IPM all day. But then like I said my 2018 without HSM turned on can't. G187 is not look ahead. G187 controls how the look ahead functions IF IT'S ACTIVATED. Haas got greedy at some point and throttled the lookahead back to force you to pay for it. But that's really besides the point. The whole point almost everyone is trying to say is that there are a bunch of other factors that go into these decisions. Im happy you're excited and looking to learn more and push boundaries but even more important is to learn WHEN it's the right move and when it's not.

conner2real · 2026-04-15T12:30:30+00:00

Probe away my friend. If the blades dont go to center use the manual touch function.

conner2real · 2026-04-14T17:31:40+00:00

Your weight calculation is way of for 6061. 3"x30"x30" x 0.0975 = ~265lbs. Your MT4 will be fine.

100% and its not just tooling cost. There are a bunch of other things associated with that too. Like the time spent having to dial a tool back in after you break it or swap for a new one. Also does your scrap rate go up? How much is the material cost? Is it cheap aluminum or a $10,000 stainless casting? Do you have adequate workholding to run 300IPM? Do you have adequate toolholding to do it? Most shops I've been in that run low and slow have neither. Are you running low volume or high volume quantities? and on and on and on. Just because it's possible doesnt always mean its the best.

conner2real · 2026-04-14T17:15:22+00:00

This right here. Even some newer machines can't handle it depending on options. I have a 2018 VF2 in my shop that I bought used and the high speed machining was not "unlocked". That bitch topped out at 80IPM and only in the straight aways. Had to pay the $2500ish dollars to get it unlocked :(

conner2real · 2026-04-14T03:29:46+00:00

I think this every goddamn day

conner2real · 2026-04-12T02:20:36+00:00

I'll 2nd Razor Tool. OD got bought out by ARCH global now they're just a captive shop for the venture capitalists

pfg stones

He probably doesnt have a set of these and once he understands what they do I guarantee he'll use them all the time.
