Don't waste your time with ignorant little shits like that.

More than once, those beggars have been followed home and found that they are in fact living large. Turns out begging is profitable. Unless you blow it all on crack.

This is so wrong it's absurd. I work on machinery. Heavy equipment, I've dicked around with industrial robots and hell I even have and use a 3 axis cnc mill from 1986.

Most of the stuff that's out there is reliable as time with very little maintenance required. Oil or grease movable joints. Top up oils, change oils every 1000hrs. It's not hard or expensive to keep up on maintenance. Pay a premium and replace gear oil with PAG type oil, and you will never have to change that oil in your life.

Machines just work, they don't have feelings, they don't take sick days, they don't take lunches. And why they fuck are you buying equipment with out way to pay it off first. Build it, and they will come. It doesn't work all too well when everyone and their grandma has a cnc shop these days.

I got a bit excited, because I have a 40ft with the exact same set up but with steel. To store round bar stock, pipe, square tube etc for metal work. It even had an over head crane to move stock in and out. It was awesome until some fuck decided to back an excavator into the front doors and sides. Mangled the whole thing to shit.

It's framed because it's set up. That's a trained dog not a wolf. A wolf wouldn't even fit in that bed. Those motions are perfectly natural for a k9 especially the hop trot when draging the bed.

Tail is the same. What gives you that impression

[–] Mpatch@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

Nah, just a trained wolf dog.

Anyone who decides to have a destination wedding is an asshole.

 

It's been there for months now. It happend shortly after I painted the walls. I'm jot going to fix it because why. Kids will slam the door again anyways. Rather a hole in the wall than having to replace hinges or a door.

 

Need some help with overcoming the initial hurdles of a learnjng curve. I'm in a fake it till I make it type situation right now. We acquired most of the equipment that a machine/fab shop would have and most of them, there is plenty of information online to learn from. Except for the horizontal boring mill, and I am struggling. The tooling all needs to be made up for it. Nothing I can purchase direct. The spindle is a MT6. My supplier can only get me reducers to MT5. And setting up parts is quite time consuming.

Any advice or know how on being able to turn a profit on this machine would be appreciated.

The machine is a TOS W100 in mostly good working order. Apart from the boring head dropping 0.020" if I cut in reverse travel after forward travel cutting.

Thanks
