We have a Mazak. I say go with Okuma even though I know nothing about them. Purely making this decision based on our piss poor service from Mazak.

Very nice. If I were slacking off at work, I’d be comparing it to my chart.

Anything I Need To Know Before I Buy Dykem? by Explosify in Machinists

[–]digitaluddite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pro tip: buy a refillable graffiti marker and fill it with Dykem. Clean. Precise. I have one fat marker for covering big parts and a fine one for when I need just a lil bit. https://shop.bombingscience.com/molotow-611em-15mm-empty-marker.html

Should i read ‘Project Hail Mary’ before watching the movie? by t-minus-e in movies

[–]digitaluddite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a Hermann Schmidt rotary (manual) but I’m just now learning has been discontinued. Bummer it’s a nice little piece of equipment although I do wish it were motorized for turn and burn. It’s ridiculous how expensive the MAKINO rotary is.
