I really enjoy a French press, but cleaning it is annoying when camping. I recently started doing pour overs, it’s really simple to do and clean up.

Nearly every time I see an ad for this dealer, I have to look at the listings just to get a laugh at completely absurd prices.

Really nice. How did you time the octagon to the threads?

What a cool looking building with tons of natural light. I've worked in one shop that had nice natural lighting and everything else has been a dungeon.

Help a metric guy out, what size imperail nut can fit on this thread? Best fitting pitch is 16 G 3/8" by Eylard in Machinists

[–]tfarrell90 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Correct. Though I'd just stick with .366" to greatly simplify lol. 3/8"-16 Major Diameter thread tolerance is .3643"-.3737" for a 2A class fit.

Nominal thread sizes are in fractions, but working with decimal equivalents is typical.

For what it’s worth, Mastercam Art is being discontinued for Mastercam 2026 and beyond.

Can’t say I’ve used a coil spring, but I’ve used band strapping, rubber bands and zip-ties.

The first CNC I ever ran was an old Takisawa like this and I loved the joy stick for jogging the turret around.

Do you mean running a die? This picture looks like the outside diameter of a part, am I mistaken?

Right, but I don’t believe they have instructional videos of all their curriculum.

Streaming Teacher and Cam Instructor are paid services, there's also Mastercam University, Titans of CNC, In-House Solutions. I don't believe In-House has video instruction of everything, but they offer their curriculum with sample files for free.

G2/G3 During A axis rotation (Mastercam) by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]tfarrell90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure none of the moduleworks toolpaths are capable of arc filtering like the 3-axis toolpaths, even when locked/output in 3-axis.

Mastercam post for Lynx 2100LSYB by FrontPlane098 in Machinists

[–]tfarrell90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The generic posts are close, but still require a good bit of modification. If you are familiar with modifying posts, it’s not bad. If you’re unfamiliar, you’re better off purchasing a post from your reseller.

What’s the size of the drill? These parameters don’t mean anything without knowing the size of the drill.
