I am trully amazed everytime I see those coments "Start from the bottom if not you're an A-HOLE" wow really mature. What is wrong with getting an education and trying to advance yourself in life? I...

I guess no one wants to talk about the obvious...... Sure partmaker is great and so is mastercam, now do you want to drop another 20k for having a different cam program???? If money is not an issue...

I happen to use Esprit for mostly 5 axis milling and 2 axis lathe work.
The program its incredibly powerful and up to the task to do 5 axis continous machining and some nifty things with mill/turns....

Hey guys,
We're looking into getting an used Wire EDM, preferably with a 4th axis and less than 10 years old. If anyone knows of any shop going out of business or anyone that has one for sale, I...

Guys thanks for all the input, keep it coming. I will look into the used Okumas as suggested. On a side note, I dont have that much experience with the Okuma line as to say I've run and program a few...

I understand that argument very well, Underthetire. The thing is how to justify a substantial investment for an item will be sitting idle for 99% of the work week, again this machine taking in...

You are right, CNCRIM. To be a bit more specific, the material will be 6al 4v titanium and we would be removing no more than 10 thou. More than anything else we are looking for a machine that offers...

Hey guys,
The company I work for is looking into a compact CNC Lathe for secondary operations. The machine would be used 3 to 5 hrs a week. With that in mind they dont want to spend a bundle of...

Larry, delete the short cut on the desktop, then drag IE from your favorites task bar to the desktop and see if it works. All the same is weird as heck that it works that way.... Hope this helps ^_^

Travis, both Astonlee is righ and Geof are right. it boils down to howmuch you want to spend and the work load. If you have a job that requires an incredible amount of tapped holes and you are going...

(flame2) ROFL

Maybe the part is no longer manufactured or he wants to do it as a special project but yes LOL you do bring a valid point. Having said that, Geof is one sharp dude so if there is a...

Cool looking part.
I agree with Einstein, EDM is the way to go.

Viper, I totally agree with you on getting the info on the feeds and speed from the tool maker. As for the machinist hand book well... While not always the best source for information, specially in a...

MY GOD!!!!!! This is all out war.

I can see it now, love is in the air. That is if we don't die from the pollution in air first.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. ROFL LMFAO

I agree with the chap. LOL give it a rest we're all going to die,not from global warming but from all the crappy websites,unsubstantiated theories of the absence of Global Warming and the lonely...

Ohhh Lamed....

Now I have to open a can of WhoopAss on you LOL then again Im not the one setting tools by ear so I guess all is forgiven :rainfro: As for learning formulas in Inch, Metric or want...

As 2dww suggested, Harvey Tool has a wide array of engraving tools. Micro100 has some engraving tools as well.

My suggestion for the type of application you are looking for is to use an
...

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any industry standard to DEFINE and MEASURE a sharp edge for a surgical tool.

I've been having a hard time finding any information. To make matters...

Lamed,

As Paul Suggested The Machinist hand book is a great source to start. You can also get more information from the tool manufacturer. The manufacturer will usually give you SFM ( Surface Feet...

Thanks for the answer, Dufas.

One of many, I was looking a bit more towards an organize movement of Climatologists who dissent, I was reading from the link and there are a wide number of scholars...

Dufas, That is a staggering number of signatures. I wonder if you happen to know, how old this article is or rather if it is an ongoing project. All the same an impressive amount of signatures.

I...

AMEN brother Dufas :D Praise the all mighty lord GORE.

LOL... Kind of reminds me of Starwars.

Ps: Im still waiting from someone to turn on the climate change machine, still a bit chilly here in...

<~~~~ Makes yet another mental note: Ask Dufas for his brand of Laxative. I guess, the need to use it has come. On a lighter note. Dufas can you please stop Spiking the Koolaided, I mean Koolaide...

Talk about fear mongering. Dufas stop being bitter and angry, take a laxative if it helps you lighten up. Last time I checked I just voice my opinion and got dumped under the Tree Hugger, shallow...

ROFL... I guess both Dufas and Open Minded are Scientist. Cheers to you both and a special one finger hello for you Open Minded. So much for an open mind.B By the looks of Things Both of you must...

LOL... This makes me think of the Master Card moments. The industry is not what it used to be. Specially not in Michigan, I should know growing up in Chicago. Trust me no Cnc programer makes 10-15 an...

One of Many, sorry to burst your bubble of joy be the Christian analogy does not fly, last time I checked Christians were under the believe that the world was FLAT LOL, by the way whilst now you seem...

Matt, good luck with whatever choices you make. As you can see while we may have difference of opinions, when you are in a bind, you can always count on a great deal of folks here willing to lend a...

<~~ Makes mental note: Never argue about politics....Call me naive but last time Scientist from 113 countries got in one room in 2007, 97% of them agreed that Global warming is a fact and it has...

I guess that's one way to look at it. I think in todays world. The work your way up, is not necessarily the best. I would rather get some education and of course when you get out of school you will...
