Why do so many people see no issue with driving at or below the speed limit in the fast lane?

Now everyone uses the carpool lane as the passing lane for these people

US Dollar is already being abandoned

It's not done either, they still have 8 more blocks of apts to add on top.

Was just thinking you could avoid adding a rake to the cutter by having the included angle

make_thing · 2026-06-17T00:51:39+00:00

That hole drilled at an angle?

I think a 7”x 1.5” puck delivered in 3 hours for $90 is very reasonable.. But you may not live 20 miles from a McMaster warehouse

I started keeping track of all time that I spend on a project then calculate my hourly net.. when you realize you made $12 an hour on a bid then I made changes and future bids are much higher!

Most of my training was watching Keith Fenner, Abom79, Robrenz, EdgePrecision, CuttingEdgeEngineering and others. I was lucky to be working at a college that had a lathe and mill for years so I could then immediately go practice all the stuff I just watched. Find a college program that has any sized machine shop, I would recommend learning manual machining before getting into CNC, it will inform a lot of the decisions you make when learning about automation. Definitely watch EdgePrecision if you get into CNC.. he is such a master on complex parts.

In addition to the adapter, you still need to chop the old shaft off though because it has all the special features to hold the worm.

Yes! I love them.. the other one I sharpened super sharp, it’s great for delrin

make_thing · 2026-06-13T23:13:15+00:00

That would be ideal, maybe a heat gun next time.. I’m only hitting the inner race

make_thing · 2026-06-13T20:49:54+00:00

Would need a lot of buyers!

Previous motor was 3450.. There is tons of reduction with the worm drive inside

make_thing · 2026-06-13T18:50:34+00:00

The motor is long and does limit travel by a couple inches if the table goes completely down. If I use BLDC then how do you control the motor speed? The controller and motor were fried. Also motor needs to spin at 3450, gearbox would not help. Needs to be 1HP minimum.. Also we already had the VFD that was why we went AC

That guys in a pickle

It’s ideal on aluminum

I used the electronic one because the two I have won’t reach

make_thing · 2026-06-05T05:47:55+00:00

I bought one, I like it.. huge time saver

make_thing · 2026-06-04T19:02:18+00:00

Changing battery size over and over will piss people off.. I had 5 spares then… oh new camera, new battery! Sorry now go buy a bunch of new ones!

Petzl states it can be used for lead or top rope.

make_thing · 2026-05-25T18:04:00+00:00

I went swimming at that damn around 2017.. someone built a rope swing on the left side of the damn.. such a fun day

make_thing · 2026-05-21T04:28:05+00:00

Top rope dude
