1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

It makes for a good bludgeoning weapon if you have a kitchen break-in, just wrap a couple sticks in a towel and swing for the fences

 

That's what I needed to see, thank you!


Thinking I'm gunna go the route of a cnc table so I can make stuff like thisour water jetting guy just gave us a stupid heavy price increase.. I think it's cause he's tired of doing our work

 

I didn't tag you cause I couldn't remember if you guys were looking at other options or not.

I'm really looking at the Langmuir system, mainly for size and cost. I know it's really one of those you get what you pay for things but even just using it sometimes will save hours of headache.

 

How big do you need parts to be? You can buy a 2x2 table for like $5k

 

Nice! The crossfire cnc table from langmuir is what I was looking at as well


The owner doesn't want to go that route, he wants us to "just assemble parts" not actually manufacture anything in house. He refuses to accept my logic that it would be cheaper for to do it since we aren't a huge company that gets a bulk buy discount on our stuff.

I intended to buy all those manufacturing tools out of my own pocket and then charge him as a standalone shop to make our parts for him.. then when he retires I'll "buyout" my own manufacturing company as wolverine equipment lol

 

Set up a company and hired one employee to manufacturer the parts for you less than your other vendors do?

Could be seen as a manipulation though ig

 

The biggest thing I build is probably this grill at 30x36. I saw one from langmuir that size, it was just the table plus cnc attachments and software for around 5k so I'll only need the plasma cutter after that

 

Yes to that first part, although I was just gunna run the machines in my off hours. I wondered about the manipulation part but figured I was in the clear cause I wouldn't be using any wolverine time or property to do it, and the other vendors can go suck an egg cause that's how capitalism works right?

 

Why is this so horribly on point?

 

CAUSE DEBRA IS LIFE HOSS

 

A guy with a 4WD mighty max waved at me in the flatbed the other day.

 

Mmm

lookin like I might have a 5 day weekend comin up

 

Whats the thickness of that? Cause a plasma could warp something like that like a pretzel if its thin.

 

I was worried about that as well given that it's aluminum.. 3/16" thick.

Reading up on the advancements of plasma technology, apparently yoy can reduce the warpage by using inert gas vs air? Lots of testing would be required:/

 

just stop being poor.jpeg

 

If I could do that, I'd opt for 40k water jet
