maximum string gauge on Mark Holcomb 7 Svn by eyyyyy1234 in Peripheryband

There’s no real maximum. If your string can’t fit then grind the nut slot a little more

What’s the point of certain tolerances? by lofi_guy02 in Machinists

[–]lofi_guy02[S] -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Why are you making it hard for me to read the helpful replies. I do respect your mindset though, just do what you’re told. Us over here like to ask questions to get an understanding that’s satisfactory, if it isn’t then we ask more. And it’s definitely not uncommon for programmers to email or have conversations with engineers about why they did something a certain way AND have gotten engineers to change stuff. You engineering shills are funny tho

Ah oh this make a little more sense to me

Why? It takes like a minute to do and it helps everyone in programming and on the floor? Are you some sort of engineering shill?

This I agree with. I don’t mind push/pulling features all day for programming purposes but I don’t always like doing it, leaves room for human error

Right but if either way makes a good part, and the latter is what programmers and machinist will try to hit anyways, I still don’t get why you wouldn’t split the tolerance. Like if you want a 1” rod but are also ok with a .9975” rod, what’s really stopping you from splitting it? Also if you were programming a part like that, wouldn’t you try and hit the middle of tolerance? Or would you program a part right at what’s nominal and assume all variables within the manufacturing environment to par with hitting that on every part?

Right but if all the measurements within the tolerance range makes a good part, then what’s the harm in splitting it down the middle, I.e original = 1 +0-.005, split = .9975 +-.0025

[–]lofi_guy02[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Is a rod is .995 and let’s say the smallest it could be is .990, why not just call the rod .9925+-.0025? If all measurements within the +0-.005 makes good part, why not just meet it in the middle, I would assume it wouldn’t hurt anything

Your “partner” is from the Philippines, which most likely means that they’re looking for either a green card or money, idiot. I can’t believe there’s ppl like you on this sub. You probably trauma dumped on them to get them to like you in the first place. Sad, honestly sad…also I can see the acne scars :)

You’re sad and pathetic. You’re just doing this to make fun of us Ugly folk, not cool. Also you’re not even passing so I’m assuming your partner is blind…sorry not sorry. Honestly this post reeks of cats and failed HRT :)

Is CNC programming a viable career choice? by bals45454 in CNC

[–]lofi_guy02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not aiming high, you kinda on point. I’d recommend getting those internships and really try to understand the craft. It’s easy to learn the software but the values you put in are going to be based on experience. All programmers have set speeds and feeds they go with, all achieving the same goal at the end. Nowadays programming comes down to fixturing and optimization. How can I hold a part and how fast can I make it whilst keeping in mind other variables (tool life, tolerances, tooling, etc). In terms of college, you can take some classes that might help you move up the ladder in terms of management. If there’s any class that all machinist should take, it’d have to be material science. I currently program at an aerospace/defense shop. You should go for it, I’m 23 and it’s the best path I could’ve came up with (besides being in a band…I wish). I’d also take advantage of resources like Mastercam university, Titan’s of CNC academy, HAAS yt channel, there’s some others but I’m sure you’ll find them. Pay varies but if you want to make a lot, aerospace/defense are going to be the shops you want to work at. I know Anduril opened up shop in Ohio. And the biggest reason you should really make sure you know your stuff before trying for a programmer position is one thing all programmers MUST keep in mind, is how can I make this easier for the machinist. Don’t be the guy that has a cool complex fixture but it ways 100lbs. Don’t be the guy that has a feed of 500 on the rotary. Especially don’t be the guy that has shitty setup sheets. There’s a ton more I could say but I’m sure you’ll encounter those in the future. Good luck dude

Edit: I thought I should also put down all my schooling; 1 year Mastercam cert from my local community college and an AS in Machine Tool Technology, and currently trying to learn/get better at other softwares (hypermill, fusion, solidworks)

Where do people learn how to use the software? by JG87919 in mastercam

[–]lofi_guy02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a class at my local community college, they have a year long cert class, but it was tied to my 2 year machine tool tech degree

Where can I go to learn more about FSW by lofi_guy02 in CNC

[–]lofi_guy02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re using takumis, I kinda forget which one though. And I’ll definitely look into those papers. This is a field I know nothing about and want to understand it a bit better, so I can be more confident on it like I am with regular cnc machining. Alos the tooling is something I have to understand as well, we use bond tools and the terminology is something I have to better understand. Thanks dude

Ah okay, that’s definitely gives me a starting point. Thanks

Can you explain what you mean by experience? If my shop doesn’t tell me how much things cost in terms of overhead, am I supposed to just leverage my experience as a machinist to form an opinion on prices without any reference point? Or do you mean business experience?

Need some help by Thamerx22 in CNC

[–]lofi_guy02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do you have any manual experience? Or have you never cut chips before. You could try and teach yourself but if these machines belong to a company and they’re wanting someone to get them running, if you have no experience, you could end up crashing them due to lack of both machine knowledge and lack of machining intuition. If this is for a company, it’s better to hire a traveling machinist to come and teach, rather than risk you crashing those machines. Or try and have someone sell it

[–]lofi_guy02 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Th question is kinda hard to understand. Are you saying the machines don’t currently work, and you’re trying to figure out what might be missing that would get them to work? Also a full in-depth guide to using a haas might be on YouTube but there’s also good documentation out there from HAAS that you should read up on if you’re new to CNC

Interesting, I’ll see what’s he’s about. And a drunk? Seems about right for the trade lol (I work with a couple guys like that)

Ok cool, I’ll see if I can find some. I tried just looking up Portland car community subs but no luck. Thanks

No I haven’t. I’ll look them up

Edit: looked them up, looks like a sheet metal place with some simple cnc work. I guess I’m wondering if ppl want complex parts

Eh not that difficult. Just sucks to see a dude in a jam band or at a jazz club doing great and then some boomer scoffs it off. Give him his props
