Damn 3D printers are cheap now. Hmmmmm

 

The older machinist I work with is always complaining about the kingston lathe in the shop. But I see why. I can turn the cross slide handle 3ish full revolutions before it moves anything. A little too much slop I think lol. All the dials on it are like that come to think of it.

 

I can 3D print alot more then that. Oh boi, Dallas mail box is gunna be full of shit

 

Cool. I bought a 3D printer. Still haven’t had time to dick with it

 

Good idea!

 

It would be great because i can make things for my RC car, really the only reason i want one. Though my shitty laptop probably couldn’t run the software for it

 

Although my rc car kinda looks like this rn...
gotta do a motor swap when parts come in

 

I got a spare 5vz. Think it’ll fit

 

Probably

 

Wtf, Mercedes makes a wanna be hilux?

 

Lol, that's a lot of backlash! All machines (manual) have backlash, it's just one of those things machinist have to take into account for. On some machines the backlash can be adjusted but in a shop that needs to make money, there's no time to fix that. I have DROs on my machine so the backlash don't matter to me. Well if it was that much I'd definitely fix it.

I'm working on something that is 18" high. My mill only has a Z height of 17". I just looked up the Z travel & height to spindle capacity on a BP size knee mill. The capacity is the same as my mill. I used to always want a knee mill bad, now not so much. Maybe one day, I'd love to have a more rigid machine but again my mill has served me well.

 

Nope, it's made by Nissan. Lol

 

Wanna be frontier

 

Seriously, that Mercedes truck is a Nissan Navara chassis.

 

Well. I just had a fun experience. Buddies car just lost all brakes on the highway. And I’m in the back seat. Like completely gone. Luckily he listened put it in neutral and lightly engaged the parking brake.

 

I hope it atleast has a Mercedes diesel

 

I believe it does have diesel options. The engines used in that truck are Mercedes & not rebadged Nissan.

 

I feel like one of you guys had a link for a Orange led bulb that fits in the corner light for our trucks

 

Sylvania zevo has an orange 194 bulb that fits... you can get them at advance, auto zone, Walmart, etc

 

Yeah but you can't have it for free. You have to work for it/find it yourself.












j/k I don't have it. I only run LEDs in my 3rd brake light.
