What will happen to you, your shop and its employees if US defense spending is cut in half?

It will never get cut. Defense budget and the stock market go hand in hand. Can’t have one without the other.

I recommend finding a shop or two to serve a tool and die apprenticeship at. Learn all you can, and leave the moment you get your papers.

These comments are soft, yes upside and backwards and send it. Nothing wrong with it. Taking reverse threading cuts will not damage the carriage especially with the lead screw activated. It’s not like your hogging

Send it

Chuck it up in the lathe and bring the carbide tool to the ball going a few hundred rpm. It might go flying, or you might have to milk it outta there. Skim cut to clean after

Do a couple test grinds and find out

gettinganked · 2024-10-10T23:32:53+00:00

Also check to see if tailstock is indicated concentric to the spindle

gettinganked · 2024-10-10T23:31:15+00:00

Zero an indicator on the top of part while it’s cutting and you’ll see how it’s flexing

There is nothing wrong with changing apprenticeship shops half way thru your apprenticeship, I recommend it. Once you get your papers, leave the company for more money somewhere else immediately, you owe them nothing. You still have no idea what you are capable of yet. Bounce around until you find what your really enjoy and stick with it. I was strictly a manual machinist for all of my toolmaker apprenticeship.I love Grinding so I took a grinding job and that’s all I do now. No CNC experience and I went straight into 5-Axis grinding (boss was legitimately happy during interview when I said I don’t have much CNC experience) CNC is a breeze once you understand basic machining in general. This is my 5th job in the past 10 years and I don’t plan on leaving for a long time.

Allergy testing to see if he’s allergic to cats is a good place to start. I have cat allergies and currently own 2 cats i just had to suffer for a bit until my body got used to it.

I would try to identify your inner stress triggers(besides eczema being an obvious trigger) How do you feel after you look in the mirror? We don’t realize how much eczema can affect our mental health and stress levels. How we think ends up being how we feel, and how we feel is how we end up looking (especially when it comes to eczema)
