We are now closing the loop on our machining processes. My on site Claude wrangler coded up a preliminary MTConnect agent and we're testing latency. The window on the left is my old DPRNT reporting macro running on the machine and on the right is real-time status. Cool.

Easy Friday part, 3 tools, 304 Stainless steel. Held in the sub spindle for no cutoff remnant.

@danrudolph It'd suck if you dropped that on the floor, lol.

@JulianFried Some sort of cam creation workflow powered by a CAD model of the spring would be interesting.

@muhasaba_needer Most shipping has been screwed up/delayed. Nothing is reliable at the moment, reminds me of covid era.

spot scrap carbide price doubled since Jan. this kind of notice is getting to be monthly or so. there's going to be a huge wave of COVID-style social conflict mediated thru a pulse of inflation and margin grabbing

@EverestBrady Steve learned by getting his ass handed to him a few times, sometimes that's what it takes to be the new Steve.

So much of manufacturing is, “Ask Steve, he knows how it works”
In machining alone, there’s guys who know how to deburr the part, make the fixture work, some special process or little note
Yes, cross training and documentation helps this but it’s not all done!

Manufacturing has SOPs, manuals, and systems. Knowledge work has… "Ask Steve, he knows how it works." That's not a process. That's a single point of failure wearing a lanyard. One of Software Factory’s key selling points is its ability to absorb tribal knowledge and give companies tools to manage its evolving knowledge and make it available to all of its employees.

this is reindustrializing

My father worked every day of my life from 4am to 9pm. I didn’t get to see him much. His sacrifice was the reason we made it in the USA. Now, through manufacturing and @M3Aerospace, I get to spend almost every hour with him. Breakfast talks about financials with mom, loading material, running the shop, dreaming at night. Manufacturing isn’t just about reindustrializing America for me. It’s given me an opportunity to reclaim lost time with my dad. 🇺🇸

Everyone says "Ask Steve" until the ISO auditor is visiting and then it's "See Work instruction WI-042"

Hahha, No Chamath - while manufacturing loves forcing everyone to write documentation, nobody really pays attention to any of it and just asks Steve 90% of the time.

@yamahaeleven @gak_pdx Can I use Steve’s tools since he’s not here?

@Tyler_Plummer A foundry to give me something other than a year leadtime or a “no quote”, if they even respond at all.
