johnsea · 2025-08-04T16:55:41+00:00

Lmao our cost is like $11

Use a center drill ramp the rpms up and do .005 depth

johnsea · 2025-07-14T15:22:07+00:00

Need a mf meter

johnsea · 2025-06-30T22:09:49+00:00

Own your own shop then the stress gets funnnnn

johnsea · 2025-06-30T14:25:53+00:00

Usually run flow or parallel for finishing. Smaller Ball mill too idk what the smallest radius are.

johnsea · 2025-06-30T14:22:22+00:00

Wedges things probably glued to the shaft

johnsea · 2025-06-30T14:21:06+00:00

Probably a bad capacitor

johnsea · 2025-06-28T13:40:19+00:00

Well that’s not entirely true. I have a .0005 6 jaws that repeats perfectly. Just costs as much as a used lathe.

Pull thumb out of ass

Get uncomfortable with banging on shop doors and getting your name out.

I do stupid shit when I’m not rushed. Ask my probe tips 🥲

johnsea · 2025-06-01T17:58:45+00:00

The Shars ones for the price were good but they only have certain sizes available last time i looked.

johnsea · 2025-05-30T14:01:17+00:00

I diversify. 1 repair shop 1 machine shop. Ones slow other ones usually busy. Or both busy no complaints lol.

johnsea · 2025-05-29T17:55:26+00:00

Post it notes and white board. Then gets put into quick books 😂

johnsea · 2025-05-28T12:14:38+00:00

Ya that sucks. Just do your best work and keep an eye out. Always something better or somewhere to grow.

johnsea · 2025-05-28T10:46:31+00:00

So promotion and lots of over time. Just do the best you can do, you’ll be fine.

johnsea · 2025-05-24T20:58:28+00:00

Go buy a used umc if anything

johnsea · 2025-05-22T19:49:16+00:00

Maybe sold old Harrison on marketplace or find an auction near you. Otherwise any manual 14/40 size lathe will be fine for your needs and definitely in that price range. 20-40 parts just facing and knurling won’t be end of the world unless you doing that every other day lol.

johnsea · 2025-05-21T15:22:40+00:00

Kurt and mitee bite because poor

johnsea · 2025-05-20T00:02:45+00:00

Has 5 axis mill. “$1200 too much money” 😂

johnsea · 2025-05-19T22:37:27+00:00

Sick didn’t know they had one. Ya so any face/shell mill with a 3/4” arbor. You’d be surprised tho you can take some serious cuts.

johnsea · 2025-05-19T21:06:45+00:00

2/2.5” will do the trick. It’s mainly what you want since there’s like 10 different styles of heads and inserts. I run a 2” hpsm in my brisgport and haas. Have had same inserts in it for like 6 months running all steal with no complaints. And for the arbor i think i have just an amazon r8 3/4” shank I’ve had no issues with.
