Hey, shop folks. Do you use software to manage jobs, stock, etc? I use spreadsheets and whiteboards and really enjoy *not* using the computer for planning but of course I wonder about ERPs like Proshop and Jobboss. If there was a FOSS ERP I might give it a whirl.

If you're a near today or tomorrow between 9am and 2pm then I highly recommend going to the OnlineMetals.com clearance sale. They're selling metal stock by weight at amazing prices and the selection is still good, especially for stock that is two feet long or less. I'm sad that they're closing this branch but oh wow am I happy with my new stock.

Okay , , and Mastodon. I inherited a collection of tools which includes these apparently-high-precision calipers and micrometers. Not totally sure what they are but listed accuracies are 0.0001 inches. My guess is that this is worth a fair bit. Is this worth trying to sell?

OK, so it's probably one of the least creative poses for the Machinist, but oh my GODS I love how I captured this for the portrait.

Any last words?

I kinda like the relic for MCH, but I still need to learn it for PvE.
Any tips for savage raids?

Een machinist is zondagavond om het leven gekomen door een aanrijding met een trein op het traject tussen Driebergen en Maarn, dat laat NS weten.

I have made several custom lightsabers, starting at age 15, and then again in my 30s after I went back to school for machining. Iโ€™ve been trying to figure out a good display for them, and I think I found it.

Squaring up stock with the old knee mill. The bandsaw cuts were just a little too rough. (well not really..but close enough)

@planettimmy @futurebird They only ever use .001 and only for precision situations. If you give a a fractional (like 3/8") they first of all convert that instantly (.375) and also assume that the tolerance is low (.375+/-.010 or whatever).

I think this would work. Any here want to review?

  • Dividing head set at 26.5ยฐ (116.5ยฐ - 90ยฐ)
  • Using smallest end mill larger than the face, cut every 72ยฐ to full cutter engagement, leaving sufficient uncut stock at free end to hold in next op
  • Advance stock twice for next two dice, leaving uncut material between
  • Reverse stock, align horizontal with a cut face, turn 36ยฐ, then cut every 72ยฐ to measure across opposite faces
  • Advance stock twice and repeat for remaining two dice
  • Transfer to lathe, face off one end, then part off to length
  • Advance stock, repeat

Then 3D print an alignment guide holding two punches, and punch the prime set (where each side is a two-digit number) into the set of three dodecahedral dice.

I'm a tyro. Any improvements that would make this easier, assuming that I don't want to swing my mill head? (If I wanted to make a lot more, I could instead swing the head and use a tailstock, but for only three I don't think I'd need to do that, and right now the tram is pretty much perfect.)

A guy bought an old toolbox and found inside it some paystubs.

Are you interested in knowing how much a Lockheed machinist made in 1979?

The tools we use are one of my favorite things about making spectrometers. Yesterday we received new Borite lathe tools with TT-321 carbide inserts. The inserts are supposed to have a 1/64โ€ tip radius. Thatโ€™s important, so we checked them on an optical comparator.
