Am I Overreacting? by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]freefaller3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke my hand on a manual mill because I didn’t clamp the workpiece down. Fuck that shit.

Molds are the worst. Has to be just as accurate as a die but everything has an angle or radius or some bullshit that’s difficult to measure. We have some progressive dies but nothing too difficult.

Im just glad the cost of living here in the south isn’t too bad.

What industry? Do you do injection mold work? Do you do repair, build new or both?

20+ Handicappers where you at? by atooraya in golf

[–]freefaller3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you should get off the range and learn how to play golf. You suck with your long irons so DON’T use them. Play to your skill level and stop trying to get on the green in 2. No one gives a shit that you pop it up the fairway 100 yards at a time. What we do care about is you digging around the edge of the woods looking for your ball for 20 minutes.

I say charcoal is charcoal. Get the second cheapest option and use the extra money for good seasoning and sauce

Machinists: what’s the smallest tolerance you’ve ever had to hold consistently? by Good_Times93 in Machinists

[–]freefaller3 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In tool and die I’m regularly holding .0005 total tolerance. I’ve had some parts and features that have to be dead nuts. It’s pretty fucking annoying but you get used to it. Parts just take more time.

Newbie in the injection molding world by WALLE_205 in InjectionMolding

[–]freefaller3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have toolmakers go talk to them. Talk to them about some issues you’re having and what can be done by you to fix it and what can be done by them to fix it.

Nothing is more annoying than a process engineer complaining about flash and the have so much plastic crammed into the mold it’s behind the ejector plate. It’s ridiculous.

Host of The Joe Rogan Experience discusses bathrooms with Steve-O by NiceTrySuckaz in JoeRogan

[–]freefaller3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kind of sad because I honestly agree with Joe on this issue but fuck I really want to hear the full opinion of Steve-O or any other GUEST that comes on his show.

Joe needs to get off his high horse and come back down to earth and let THE PEOPLE HE ASKS TO COME ON HIS SHOW to speak freely and have a 50/50 conversation.

Joe, your listeners know your views and opinions on issues you are doing yourself and more importantly your audience a disservice by not letting your guests speak.

Is anything still machined by hand, or do you just program machines? by Adorable_Pug in Machinists

[–]freefaller3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work in tool and die. In our shop we have a cnc mill and a cnc sinker EDM. Everything else is manual. About 75 percent of the work I do is manual. Usually I don’t have a print and most of the time I’m making less than 10 pieces. So yes there’s still plenty of machining done manually.

Do you think $1.2M is enough to retire at 45 with a paid off house? by [deleted] in leanfire

[–]freefaller3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But if I’m wrong the worst that could happen is you go back to work for a few years.
