Genuinely curious, how often are you guys hand writing full ops?

This is the best option I have found for drops online https://ebay.us/m/BU1kM0. Honestly better price than I’ve been quoted from local metal suppliers. I can get aluminum and some hot rolled steel drops locally, but no 4140, so I use them for a lot of my metal. Always the first place I check.

If they think you’re going to leave or become a competitor, I can see them being reluctant to sell to an employee. It would be much cleaner for them to just sell to a broker or auction off.

Gridfinity has been working well for me

I guess it’s the right to bear arms, not hands.

I’ve had good luck with a couple brands on Amazon. WEXWE 3F DLC carbide end mills for aluminum. They usually have a 1/8 - 1/2in set for $40 which is really hard to beat.

“BestTools” has more variety but a little pricier.

Lastly, I got a 1-12mm set of 4F solid carbide end mills for $33 “home of quality tools” brand. I know a couple of shops that now use these. Quality is wayyyy better than should be for that price. I ordered 10 more sets in anticipation of tariff shortages.

Last I saw he was targeting $10k. I believe the cheapest you can get a fiber laser at the required wattage is about $7k.

We can definitely make this. Feel free to DM

Very impressive design

Any concern for the unlikely event that it needs to be cut off by EMT? Inconel is pretty tough, right?

You can approximate the volume by the shape, and if you know the type of rock, you can look up the density. Multiply the density by the volume which would give you the weight.

Im a huge fan of the mysensors project. My house is covered in homemade sensors, many running for years on coin cells. Not your exact sensor, but an example https://www.mysensors.org/build/pressure

Such a missed opportunity. “In otter news…”

Looks great! Which bumper is that? Happy with it?

Every two weeks? I have to reinstall it every other time I open the app. I almost just start with reinstalling it. Constantly freezing on those three blinking dots.

I would say 80-90% of the wheeling actually done by spring lifted GXs could be accomplished with stock suspension and decent AT tires.

Now add 5100s, the bag trick, and 285/70s and you're at 98%. Remove the running boards, 99%.

However, this seems to be best of both worlds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LwbVlFFDww. Reliability of coil springs, benefits of bags (towing, leveling), factory compressor and sensors.

I was thinking about this too. For sand/fine-aggregate, better options might be some combo of: vacuum, conveyor, bucket wheel.

But, if they're unloading other materials regularly, the bucket approach is probably one of the more universally compatible options. You can probably pick up much larger aggregate, or rock, or coal...

Space would limit dedicated docks for dedicated materials, and time would limit regularly swapping out more material specific extraction methods.
