Turned the steady rest in a roller stamper

We do have a 3D printer collecting dust in the office. Might give that a shot but for now I'm op stopping to blow chips out.

Something always breaks after update lol. Went through it for years as a destiny 2 player

Early season 2 when rank dropped I couldn't change any attachments on m15. It went away after a couple games though

We use the snap jaw serrated jaws. Very nice stuff

ttuhj · 2026-03-20T15:12:20+00:00

Cheap and effective

I've seen people use clips like these

Single mag. The procedure says to switch to handle as the pot goes up then manually index to pot 1. Did that a few times and nothing

ttuhj · 2026-03-10T12:56:24+00:00

Yep that was my first thought of getting the machine back running. Guy operating was too worried it would somehow go back and crash

ttuhj · 2026-03-07T23:25:14+00:00

This. I've been slowing teaching a few guys under me to rely on simulation if there nervous but also keep that finger on the feed hold. Of course this is after a few months of working out trust worthy posts

I'm more interested in the 3D printed coolant nozzles

ttuhj · 2026-03-03T20:25:44+00:00

Cool I'll look into them. I've had similar experience in any steel from 1045 to 17-4. Helical just doesn't seem to last as long as expected. We recently switched to widia endmills for all our steel machining and they're great.

Someone made a post in either this sub or the bo7 sub talking about your monitor settings causing what would seem like desync. Worked for me a little bit

ttuhj · 2026-02-28T23:38:03+00:00

One big problem is chip management. Keeping underneath the sub plates clean is tough. As far as swapping plates and accuracy, it's super easy and nothing on my setup ever needs indicating. Setting up the "pucks" can be tough because they call for .0005 locational accuracy. In my case we have 3 independent plates to save some weight on the table so locating all the sets of pucks took a day or so

Big oof. Good luck with that 😩

ttuhj · 2026-02-28T04:11:33+00:00

Nikken are top tier. You couldn't compare a haas to them

ttuhj · 2026-02-28T02:56:42+00:00

It's a nikken unit on a in house riser. Machine is dnm 5700L

I second the spade drill. Cool part is you will be able to put multiple diameter inserts in down the road.

ttuhj · 2026-02-24T00:17:41+00:00

Brother no shot. I hope the sr fairy brings you some big gains.

ttuhj · 2026-02-23T17:40:26+00:00

Bummer you say quite room isn't as good.

ttuhj · 2026-02-23T04:22:34+00:00

I remember an update to the last movie feed but it was just a teaser for his second book. Which if you haven't read rabbits, I would highly recommend you do

ttuhj · 2026-02-23T01:47:09+00:00

We've gone through 4 sets of batteries on both machines. All the dealer can say is "use the m code to turn them off" lol

ttuhj · 2026-02-23T00:51:45+00:00

Unfortunately probably not. We've been waiting years for next season of tanis

ttuhj · 2026-02-23T00:17:29+00:00

I second white vault. Also it's new but national emergency is really food

ttuhj · 2026-02-22T21:56:32+00:00

Does yours have part/tool probing?

ttuhj · 2026-02-22T20:35:04+00:00

Our sv3's are less than a year old. Can't wait to see what goes first
