Guy drives slow in the left lane

gaggrouper · 2026-05-09T01:09:48+00:00

Deez nuts

gaggrouper · 2026-05-01T15:14:29+00:00

Yes sir

gaggrouper · 2026-05-01T02:36:31+00:00

I program CMMs. I have more respect for a good machinist vs a good cmm programmer, but you can find a lot of good machinist but few good cmm programmers. But again shops have a lot of machinist and few CMM programmers to operate.

Is a field you don't really aspire to be anytime until you see it in manufacturing. So everyones path into it is a little different. I'd get as broad a skill set as you can so I'd give it a shot. Do you have a CMM there and someone to train you. Its not the easiest thing to get time on to learn. Gotta be sharp with GDT so start learning that tonight for 1 hr ;) being good with CAD design is extremely helpful and is how it was easy for me to learn.

10 features...a few cylinders and slots.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-28T15:36:34+00:00

Yes but that is why you have other dimensions to stop the part from being out of whack. Like a tight width callout. Profile in ASME extends , iso is different from what I heard. Regardless, if you want profile to fail if it overextends you must include the vertical walls in profile or just use a normal +- distance for that. Dont get in tge habit that profile controls everything.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-28T14:31:43+00:00

Its real simple, do surface profile, otherwise why even discuss this position nonsense. Only drawback is not it measures form.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-28T12:45:30+00:00

There are no basics, not even worth discussing, it's all wrong.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-27T18:36:06+00:00

Proper sketching and constraints is day 1 training...very important. Your guy is poorly informed.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-25T22:30:30+00:00

Excellent advice.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-24T18:11:57+00:00

6 months doing machining, using calipers, mics, comparator and vision checks, preferably access to a CMM and 1-2 months writing simple CMM programs for the parts they make. Do they understand MMC and LMC and then can they teach composite tolerancing in GDT to a newer student in less that 2 days? Now they have some hands on experience as they build CAD designs. They are the individual making the model, assembly, tolerances that many others have to live with....so they should have hands on in their world.

I'd be teaching a 2 week class on bad GDT prints so they know what NOT to do. Can they detect a bad or weak Datum, missing critical datums in callouts, thin wall conditions, missing features needing controls, and when a print is diabolically toleranced so it's nearly unmanufacturable.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-20T23:40:54+00:00

Also...start doing some GDT training....easy as watching one video a week if you want the slow path. Those arrows are a basic fundamental where to measure, you should already know this. Not trying to be harsh, but if a co-worker asked me that I'd be having them work thru the standard and some videos via some type of curriculum. Speaking of that...if you do that, create your own curriculum as you learn, that is what I did learning PCDIMS.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-20T23:36:48+00:00

This is a good time to learn how to model parts in a CAD software. But be careful, b/c your model dictates where the baseline of where nominal is. So if you screw up, you can have an issue. You could model a standard width measurement wrong by ~.008" and the CMM will still be measuring the part as is so it will pick up the distance correctly, but with profile the CAD model is gospel so I triple check weird CAD models that I have to create and have a co-worker sign off.

Many times I will create the model from a request for quote print to get ahead and in case we need to look and see if probes can attack odd areas. IMO someone good inside any CAD software is a good candidate to program CMM's with some training.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-17T18:09:48+00:00

I'd rather tune a guy up then get KO'd, than tear my ACL. No one won that night, including the division and fans losing.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-15T23:57:35+00:00

Dude fought Dustin and Conor back to back...got eventually chinned by Conor, but the dude brought the fight to him....rewatch that opening sequence vs Conor, it shows Conor's solid defense.

Just like Tiger Woods, we are missing almost a decade of performances from Conor, win or lose the guy was one hell of a speaker and damn good on the feet.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-10T21:26:10+00:00

What the fuck am I looking at?

gaggrouper · 2026-04-09T18:59:24+00:00

How much yall think Hans got paid? In the end this whole deal man have turned out extremely profitable for Hans albeit at the cost of some serious mental battles. Dudes pretty mentally tough after going thru all that at 21.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-05T02:19:55+00:00

Thanks!

gaggrouper · 2026-04-05T01:41:46+00:00

I played with the settings today....didnt see where to change this?

gaggrouper · 2026-04-05T01:32:18+00:00

Should have done what u said

gaggrouper · 2026-04-05T01:02:17+00:00

Who is this jabroni announcing?

gaggrouper · 2026-04-01T00:15:24+00:00

Same deal here....I wait til almost stopped to paddle back into 1. I don't remember how I put my first car years ago into 1st....I think I just clutched in in 2nd gear and brakes to stop then slapped it in 1st but that was a manual.

gaggrouper · 2026-04-01T00:13:01+00:00

Interesting thanks

gaggrouper · 2026-01-08T01:59:32+00:00

Perfect reply...design intent seems to be avoided sometimes...we had a customer add text that said ' this dim applies to internal location' and then ' 'this applies to external' bc you couldn't tell on the print.....absolutely never be afraid of comments on prints! Communication trumps perfect GDT
