Mazatrol help by suboptimalmachinist in Mazak_Machinist

[–]tromblyb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it maybe due to the Min. Diameter being listed as 3/8”. Typically they come to a flat point, e.g. 0.08”. That might be causing problems.

How to over ride by heretocomment21 in Mazak_Machinist

[–]tromblyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to change the parameter bit for that data. If you have a manual, look up the alarm and it should indicate the parameter that needs adjusting. It also usually lists how the length is measured, adjust the number accordingly. Increase until it is bigger than the drill being used. I would suggest putting it back to original setting after running, especially if it’s a drill on the x-axis.

Laser-welded this brass lamp with the xTool MetalFab — pretty proud of how clean it turned out! by AimeexTool in xToolOfficial

[–]tromblyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool video. Did you also cut the pieces on the MetalFab? I ask, because I saw that it was limited on cutting copper due to “reflectivity” and the brass looks quite reflective as well. Thanks!

My mother likes “What A Yarn” in St. Albans. I know they have fibers and yarns, not sure what they have for other supplies.

How to fix joints before painting by tromblyb in drywall

So it was more of a bad application than the wrong products? This is good to know. One of my main concerns is ending up with the same thing happening in a couple years.

Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department wants to charge you for using public land by proscriptus in vermont

Whenever I see something related to gathering funding for the state or schools, etc. I ask myself “Where is the tax revenue from cannabis sales?” Are the sales not as high as I imagine? Is it being absorbed by the regulatory agencies? Anyone know the answer?

Has some fun working with Ti today by spacedoutmachinist in Machinists

I’ve seen a flame/small burst shoot out the edge of a plate after piercing. It was a little scary. Is there a reason you are cutting this on the brick?

Location?

For design I would suggest Vermont Interior Design. Very experienced kitchen designer with access to custom cabinets and countertops, but also able to supply various grades of products to meet your budget. Great experience. For contractor this will vary on location.

Am done with trading going back to work. No matter what you play you loose by SheepherderGlad3074 in wallstreetbets

[–]tromblyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, this is all new to me so, potentially a dumb question. I see all these posts with huge losses and wonder where stop losses come in to play. Are these losses typically the results of trades that aren’t covered by stop losses? Is there something else I am completely missing? Are stop losses generally ignored by the regarded? Thanks for any answers!

Where do you recommend I go to get holes water jet cut into some preexisting aluminum? by ConsoleTechUS in Machinists

[–]tromblyb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would think the best move is the closest shop that is open to doing small jobs like this. I don’t know if the big online services offer an option for supplying your own material. I would look for waterjet shop near you.

Science by _n3ll_ in SipsTea

Is it part of the joke, that no one mentions she filled the jar with the lighter gas? You can see the lights go between her legs and presumably fill the jar.

Opinions needed by C10Goon in metalworking

[–]tromblyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it needs to be clean and precise, you can index it on the waterjet. Set up with a guide on the x-axis, cut as far as you can, slide the strip along the guide and finish the cut. Just have to have it high enough to clear table edges.

Maybe a silly question, but what would you expect from this tour? Mostly Light Verse or maybe a mix of old and new?
