@photoncmndr I had to tune mine a little bit, the guides are trash and the belt tensioner is fine finger tight. The wheel pitch is a mess of the blade tracks good don't touch those screws! Dial it in and it works.

@ninjaneeer For $160 on FB I don't expect much.
Dude cut a thin wall 1.5" square tube in front of me and stalled it out twice lmao.
Either way, I bought it because he clearly didn't know how to adjust it.

Challenge accepted.
Baby bandsaw doo doo.
For playing when I'm not at the shop.

We are hosting an industrial hackathon at @noxmetals! We are inviting software and hardware builders to apply to compete for a $5,000 prize. Write code and build hardware that gives insight to what the heck the machine is doing. And, how it can be optimized. Build a $250 sensor system for our Spartan wet saw cutting some sweet sweet 6061. Kickoff Monday 12pm ET. Demo day June 15 in Detroit. Link below. @SchramIAm @640oxford @dugsong

@seangporter Keep on truckin! Hopefully this has been a good year for you!

@ninjaneeer Yeah I started mine in 2018. Has been very difficult to make it through. Still here though

@QualityEngAI PPAP: I could happily live the rest of my life without those four letter
English
@ninjaneeer yeah the month-later forget is real. seen the same thing surface during PPAP rerun, three new ops on the part and the original setup notes only live in one person's head. saving setup with the program is exactly what holds when audit pulls the records.
English
@xandercogan Hey thanks, this stuff (bearing bronze) is quite hard but it makes a nice chip and leaves a good finish with sharp tools. Wanted to show the edge breaks, but not the part itself so excuse the rags 😉
English
If your parts are not coming out of the machine completely deburred, there is room for improvement! Machine deburring makes the finished parts look much more professional, improves consistency, and makes life easier. Not to mention the impression this makes to your customers!
English
@masch_services @bitcoingardener The file I save the program back to is classified by part number and rev, any pictures of the setup or actual setup sheet document gets saved into this folder as well. Can't document enough, I am often surprised how many details I can forget about a setup just a month later.
English
@masch_services @bitcoingardener I actually don't, I keep good notes in the program header by itself that I am usually adding manually after I get a first good piece. I hate the garbage tool descriptions that fusion outputs, everything jammed into one comment looks bad and is clunky to read.
English
@baxondaxonbax For me, I'm often running multiple machines, the surface finish improvements in profiling, and less worry about losing size from tool deflections makes up for getting one more part every hour or two.
English
@ninjaneeer It’s very hard to convince some of this when they think everything should be instant
English
@ninjaneeer Sometimes it hurts to go 10thou less than you know your machine can do, or just a bit slower on the feed but I also have two machines I run parts on so I'm technically going faster by going slower.
English
@EverInAscent No hahah I've not been super public here up until the last few days.
English
@ninjaneeer You don’t have your company linked in your bio?
English
@EV_Trapper I have not had totally excellent results using sand, it can help but it's not exactly a great production process. I suspect with the wall being that thick sand will not be of much help.
English
How do you guys bend this tube without the kink? You fill it with sand?
English
@powerbottomson @zanehengsperger Nope, not at all. Just the companies in my city and the neighboring ones. I am not in a position to be picky so casting a wide net is the way for me.
English
@ninjaneeer @zanehengsperger do u map out naics codes to choose which doors to knock or what

@ninjaneeer OSG is great too. Nachi Viper taps are also awesome but they are hard to geat these days. Our customer also oks an 8mm drill in most cases, it sure makes the palms less sweaty!
English
@danrudolph Exactly! I shudder to trust an employee at this stage of the game - this is a solo mission for as long as humanly possible.
English
@amer_icon They do make some great stuff! The shafts I do have a 3/8-16 thru the diameter, which is Ø2". I use an OSG forming tap that I manually grind additional clearance on the shank to get the depth. Letter S drill, the threads are a touch light but customer is OK with this.
English
@ninjaneeer Emuge taps erased my fears of tapping SS 304 in the lathe, I used to thread mill them in the universal mill when possible. 90s for a 3/8-16 hole 1" deep with a decent carbide drill. Per your recent post, it could be faster but why not just walk away and run something else?
