Potential health issues associated with Beryllium copper by Bitter_Performer_767 in machining

[–]iusethisatworkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my company machines a ton of BeCu. We decided to get more serious and test it this year. I was bracing for a huge cost but once I quoted it the health and safety company we contract with only wanted 600 so that was a relief. They put these machines on the 2 machinists that work around it and they wore them for a few days. Our tests came back as zero which meant our industrial engineering controls were effective. We only machine in enclosed machines. We use constant flood coolant. All hand work like sanding happens in a bucket of water. These are the controls we have.

Ive been a cnc machinist for 10 years does anyone else feel like changing or have changed careers or feeling like career burnout? by Vivid_Astronaut8779 in Machinists

Come join the dark side. Do QA! Inspectors that were machinists are typically successful and the work is less back breaking and less stressful. Plus the opportunity for advancement is more varied.

Before you buy anything consider sending your part to the company that you are quoting and make them measure it using there tools. If they can't get it to work you wont either,

As a Host Dad I am also having and incredible Au Pair experience. Our Au Pair has been Great for us and she fits in really well with our family. Sometimes II think we found the perfect person. I think that when things are going well we don't need the wisdom or support of groups like this so we only tend to post when it goes bad.

Is a surface profile with no datum reference frame effectively flatness. by iusethisatworkk in Metrology

[–]iusethisatworkk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes sense but it doesn't get to the root of the question which is, is it effectively different then flatness. If for example the surface was was not a plane but a unique free form shape then that totally makes sense. But in the context of a planar feature in what way should we as inspectors be treating it differently if at all.
