Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Pins made for the miniature Lely. When I drilled the .052” holes I forgot to line them up in one when I turned it around. My OCD will probably make me remake it sometime.




Ones I made for the real one a few years ago.

 

The gulf coast or the west coast?

 

We picked up a new customer

 

Well, hello fellow millbillies. Lol. Glad to find this thread-thanks @JustAddMud !

question for you all-I am thinking about getting a vibratory bowl setup to finish small parts. Anyone have experience with burr king or cm top line? Or are there others I should be looking at?

 

Going to have a talk about asymmetrical tolerances? Lol.

 

Gulf

 

Redacted. Lol gotta keep an eye on this text box. It keeps saving my banter that I decide not to send.

 

We bought a Burr-King about 20 years ago, hasn't been used in 15 probably. If you were closer my boss would probably give it to you.

It did okay, we bought it for a certain job and we don't do that job anymore.

Welcome to the thread

 

@Zebinator its been sitting for a while, this media has been in this bucket for a long time too. I use it to prop the door open.

 

Lol! Not a fan of the process or was the burr king not a great unit?

 

It did okay for the parts we were running, we had a job with 200-300 small parts and we'd put them in it. Most of our jobs are 1-10 parts so we do them by hand.

 

Hahaha, have the exact one sitting in a corner of our shop for the past 10+ years!

 

Do they have any use for a large, red rack on wheels?

 

Free, with every new account!

 

yeah my brother had one for a while before I convinced him to find a used 2nd gen.. it was falling apart.

lol! same.. HAAS Mills up on 2nd floors, chaos and disorganized, long ass walks to get anywhere, no personal tools, doesnt sound fun.. I think he'll be back here when he's done there.

 

Public service announcement: DO NOT USE VACUUM CLEANERS

I pushmowed and weedeated 3 days last week getting ready to start blowing leaves, no issues, felt fine and not tired. I vacuumed for 1 hour trying to help out on Saturday and my back still hurts. Currently sitting here with a heating pad on my lower back enjoying my new reading glasses! Reading glasses, I guess I’ve hit that milestone in my life.

 

Sounds like you could use a Roomba?
