    Remember me cutting these and machining the brass last month? Got them back from the fab shop, they made the handles and welded them together so they would look like this :D

    I don’t do enough TIG welding to be good at it and never been to school for it. This is for our biggest customer so we send it out to be welded. 95% of the stuff we make for them is stainless.

    Those look like my kind of fabrication! Nice clean passivated welds (even if you didn’t do them!)

    Found a 4 flute endmill the corners were wore so I decided to give it a try. Got the old Lufkin radius gauge set out, went to the carbide wheel on the grinder and did a test piece. I think it’ll work.

    Another special grind for this one part. Got to reach 1.318” down on this step and it can’t be bigger than a .344” end mill. Ground a 3/8” shank down and using a 5/16” cutter. Oh and here’s the 5C collet collection we have. And don’t say anything about the guard being off the grinder, I put it back on after I got done.
