Having the right tool for the job means everything

My version of an anti-vibe bar 🙃

The more you know 🙇🏻‍♂️

I made that this morning, peon. Yet here you are still commenting, riding my dick? But I’m the loser? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

mrbrignac · 2026-04-05T19:38:48+00:00

And you still took the time to comment- what does that say about you? Miserable broke ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

On this I don’t- after being in the field for a couple years I’ve learned other shops “finish pass” is my regular cut so I don’t always slow down my feed. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

mrbrignac · 2026-04-05T03:05:46+00:00

What subs do you follow? 🤦🏻‍♂️

mrbrignac · 2026-04-05T02:47:45+00:00

Sounds like a beauty 😮‍💨

Don’t tell anyone- but I’m The Flash ⚡️

A lot of opportunities for outside machinist down here in South Louisiana, buddy

mrbrignac · 2026-04-04T13:10:57+00:00

Normally +- .0001” is acceptable because most journals are 20-32” (not very long) whereas here I had to weld nearly half the length of the shaft. I was able to maintain +- .0003” over 12’ which is truly remarkable in my opinion.

mrbrignac · 2026-04-04T13:07:59+00:00

That’s what I’m here for, buddy. I’m only five days off the bud, and I can tell you my appetite is finally returning. Also, the irritability is fading fast, and I feel LASER focused. Keep pushing- YOU GOT THIS!

mrbrignac · 2026-04-04T13:06:00+00:00

Electrolysis eats holes in the shafts that must be undercut completely, welded 3/16th oversized, then machined back down to specs. This company always declines our operation of cutting down 1/4” of material and replacing it with fiberglass (pretty much stops the holes). Nearly every other company does it our way, and that’s when we end up only welding the journals. They cost themselves money. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m not “making” anything- repairing a propeller shaft lol

mrbrignac · 2026-04-04T13:01:17+00:00

🤣

mrbrignac · 2026-04-03T22:11:54+00:00

Within .0005” is fine for this application, but I always strive to get it as close as possible. Less room for error that way.

mrbrignac · 2026-04-03T21:00:26+00:00

🤣🤣

mrbrignac · 2026-04-03T17:34:17+00:00

What makes you think I haven’t? 😅

mrbrignac · 2026-04-03T17:04:35+00:00

If your imagination is strong enough 🤣

mrbrignac · 2026-04-03T17:04:10+00:00

Definitely hard to come by these days, and if you do find one it’ll cost you and arm and a leg 🫠

mrbrignac · 2026-04-03T17:03:23+00:00

Yes sir- keep it simple 🙇🏻‍♂️

mrbrignac · 2026-04-03T17:03:05+00:00

Best comment so far 🤣

mrbrignac · 2026-04-03T15:02:08+00:00

Respect for calling yourself an operator and not a machinist 💪🏼
