1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I love my brute force front bumper on my 2nd gen. I like the thought put into it. Don't stick out to fat but holds the winch nicely with room for a light bar as well. It doesn't look cluttered.

 

which half?

 

The last half, zero thought all build

 

Shiiit I hope!

Here's my second test cut with my new Hypertherm - the test piece on CAD is 2" x 2" with a 0.625" circle in the middle which corresponds with the pattern on my fab table



The first test cut was to measure my kerf width as accurately as I could, which came out to about 0.040" which resulted in a part cut within 2-3 thousandths of an inch







The part had received absolutely no clean up since it cut so well. My only gripe is the minor beveling I got on the top edge but I'm blaming that more on the torch mount so I undid everything and need to mount it again and ensure squareness

I think if I bump up my kerf width to 0.041 or 0.042 that I'll be right on the money in terms of accuracy

The biggest difference from the old setup and new setup though is, cut speeds are much faster, and pierce delay is significantly less, while still providing better cut quality

 

Got busy, had a kid

 

Your decal lives on my welder as a reminder

 

There is a good chance Rob Tygart will be coming to Cruiser Crawl. He will trailer in the 45 from CA.

 

Like I said, zero thought and build

oh wait that's me

But look, free labor

 

Poor kid is gonna grow up never knowing what a real beer tastes like

 

Quality

 

Are you a thou guy or a mils guy

 

The who?

You mean milliradians? This ain't a lensatic compass

 

Mil and thou is the same thing lol. I teach alignments where we have a tolerance of .004 of miss alignment allowed. But i always say thou but some guys call it mil

 

I just called it thousandths cause, that's how I measured it on my calipers

Unaware of how others call it in their trade

My boss (the owner) would always insist on using "a cunt hair" as the tolerance at which something needs to meet; the first time he said it I brushed it off as him being old school, foul at the mouth type of dude

After 20 times I'm just like wtf dude

 

You should know mil from moa. Thought you use to be a shooter lol

 

It looks clean, money well spent. Now you can turn out parts faster.

 

The f bomb bottle openers will never go out of stock now

 

Mils drive me insane since my industry uses hybrid metric/imperial depending on what component were talking about, can't ever tell if they shortened millimeter or are saying mils as in thou's

 

Why do you think I mentioned it

Mils you'd shoot for an azimuth on a lensatic compass; you'd just need to know your GM angle for the geographic area you're in if you're gonna plot it out on grid

Man, I haven't been shooting for awhile

 

I have like 30+ in a box in the garage
