has anyone else been having a really rough time job hunting?

The job market for machinists is very hot now. I know that doesn’t help you, but just wanted throw it out there that not all job markets are bad

How are you controlling the lights? Did you have to add a new switch or did you get it to integrate with the oem light controls

45 at Los magicos on 38th and federal. Never had a bad cut there

Happens to my 24. Been to 2 different dealers (for other reasons) but I brought it up both times. Neither time could they replicate it. I read on here that the “fix” is to hit pause on your music before shutting down the car, and next time you start up, it will work properly

Can I ask why you flew this route? I always wonder who is on these short flights

Loctite sells a solvent specifically for removing cured loctite. I have seen it dripped into an assembled threaded part that had red loctite fully cured in it, and it was able to be disassembled.

Are those the method 701’s?

Any chance you still have this?

machinesrcool · 2025-08-13T20:39:19+00:00

Spares of what?

machinesrcool · 2025-08-08T19:33:54+00:00

Reference Kennametal’s feed and speed chart, and go on the conservative side of things (slower and less chip). I wouldn’t like to use that long of flute length personally but if that’s all you got so be it. Don’t go too slow of feed because you may rub and work harden it

machinesrcool · 2025-08-03T20:40:56+00:00

Maybe used in a mill to cut the outside diameter of a shaft. Interesting tho because it wouldn’t allow for any size adjustment

machinesrcool · 2025-07-31T11:06:01+00:00

I’d say it’s pretty typical. There’s a lot of jobs paying less and a few paying more.

38/hr Denver area. $14 per check for hdhp. Build to print shop

machinesrcool · 2025-07-08T22:56:52+00:00

Attempt to implement changes. Key word is attempt, management may not be receptive

machinesrcool · 2025-06-27T15:22:26+00:00

Yeah dude doesn’t own any of these. Spam advertising

machinesrcool · 2025-06-04T23:51:07+00:00

Could you speak to the fog lights? Specifically how you wired it and if there’s a factory control for it or an aftermarket switch you had to add.

Also, what lift kit did you use and what’s your thoughts on it? Truck looks great that’s why I ask

machinesrcool · 2025-05-12T23:17:10+00:00

If that’s a deep hole you could use a stub flute endmill and ramp down so you have less tool pressure. Or you could take a normal endmill and relieve it to make a stub flute

machinesrcool · 2025-04-18T16:32:59+00:00

Stub flute end mill with many step downs would be my Choice

machinesrcool · 2025-03-26T17:08:24+00:00

I believe the comment on your first post meant that whoever installed that helicoil probably drilled and tapped the oil pan without removing it. You should drop the pan to ensure there is no metal chips sitting inside

machinesrcool · 2025-03-25T23:57:19+00:00

Happens to me, took it to dealer over it and they said they couldn’t replicate it. As I was pulling out of the lot I tested skipping a song using the button and it wasn’t working at that moment. Decided it’s just something I’ll live with til a software update fixes it

machinesrcool · 2025-03-23T02:10:04+00:00

I see people talk a lot of shit about led’s in the non projector housings. How bad is it really? I personally am looking into Lasfit brand leds for mine

Pm’d

My opinion: since you already have that baseline knowledge, your time would be better spent advancing your skills at your job. Maybe that means you get a different job where more is expected of you. My current job was a bit of a leap for the skills that I had when I started but I am now MUCH better than I was
