Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I suggested that the other day!

 

Well that only took for ever. All moved in. Had lunch and spent to much money at the gift shop.

 

Got my tools this morning. Ran the semi finish without any issues. Now running the 2 hour finish pass.




Doubled down on machines and proving out a 2nd part on it now as well.. need to make up some time on this long run time for the surfacing.

 

Whoa…….wait. You may be in Heaven.

 

I’ll honk when I come back up end of November or Christmas.

 

Didn’t see anything like that. Gluten free?

 

I understand they are vegan too

 

Yessir First cookie I’ve had for a spell. The signs writing triggered me. Lol

 

Just means they don’t go Medieval on my insides.

 

One of the builders who comes in the store is finishing a house across the street and told me there’s some lumber beside the dumpster if’n I wanted it. Carried a trailer, a helper, and a tie down

 

Here’s the shaving pile from today, I just got it to size, haven’t started the actual part process

 

I need to retrain my 2 coworkers what the on/off button does and how it affects battery life.

 

Starrett turns off automatically

 

Mine don’t have one…
Wanna trade?

 

I’ve got a solar set of Mitutoyo, they are solar only. They don’t work that good.

 

That sure is a pretty mold, any idea what they are molding?

 

gettin there! Finish toolpath finished... ran my indicator along the bottom and referenced the top face to get an idea on the true position callout they have on the cavity surface. about .0006" shallow.. so adjusting and running again. Should be good once I get it dialed in.. for the most part. I do need to touch off the tool before every cavity feature as the head seems to float after running for 3+ hours at 12k RPM. I also talked the Bossman into letting me bail on the "leave extra material, mask, blast, reload into machine to clean up" process.. and just establish everything in the machine at once, and then blast the entire part. The process of loading back into the machine was just for cosmetic purposes as there was inherently overspray after blasting.. even with masking. lol So now its done in the machine and blast and done.

These are for medical devices. We do a lot of the components for Ultrasound and Mammogram machines for a certain well known medical company. These are most likely for one of those two.

 

That's a great score on the lumber!

 

Only way it coulda been better was if the builder was a TW member.
