1. Never said they weren't.

2. That's great but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It has been my experience that it does.

3. It makes no difference to me. Thanks for weighing in.

Listen guys... it has been nearly two years since this whole can of worms erupted. My position hasn't changed. If you want to roll a trash can into a shop with HF tools crammed inside, be my guest....

Be aware... heat generated while machining this type of magnet will cause it to fail. I found that out the hard way several years ago machining a linear bearing assembly.

That's a really cool machine. It has certain advantages over the ZT and disadvantages as well. You're able to swing the head in the NT series from what I've seen but cannot work two spindles...

I have no idea what kind of CAM software your company uses. But with MasterCam (ver 9.0), all you have to do is to go into the Toolpaths and then Job Setup. From there, you can select where you want...

Used for setting up the boring head on a lathe.

Bob, on a Quad-I vise, the front jaw is fixed. Therefore, both X and Y are in the first quadrant. The name Quad-I says it all.

Well, Shotout, you're correct if I were talking about a Kurt vise. My comments dealt directly with a Quad-I vise. On the Quad-I, the front jaw is fixed, hence the name Quad-I.

1. That's a good practice. Its always good to have a standard way of setting up a machine tool. That way, the next shift machinist can step into a job and know certain things have already been done....

Part of the reason why its better to work from the front left corner is because it keeps all of your X and Y values positive. Another is that materials are not always cut to the same relative size....

You forgot to leave the insults in your post. Here, I'll post them for you so the other folks here can read them...




You're all class!

No, you're just getting your kicks pushing your weight around. Nothing more. Also, you're not my father and I'm not your damned kid. (nuts)

Look, I get trash talked to me a lot on this forum, including from you. Yet, you seem to have some sort of fetish for me by only taking me to task for any 'infractions'. No one else gets reprimanded....

Finley, you can take that any way you want. The bottom line is that you're a forum stalker. Make any excuse up so long as you can run around micro-managing your little kingdom unchecked. Aren't you...

You obviously don't pay attention. As I've stated before, the website is just one of the things I do. I also work for a large manufacturer here as a multi-axis machinist. What do you do besides talk...

So, what do you do? Follow me around all the time just to make smart ass comments? Find something else to do besides screwing around with me. I won't ask twice.

Stickers, toys, etc. are for the home... not the workplace. By refusing to have any sort of set standards in a shop, you'll end up with no standards at all.

Judging by your SN, am I correct in...

You have nothing to add to the conversation, do you? Just wasting time talking trash, huh?

Aussie, what does that mean? I hate to assume anything but it seems as if your meaning is that I had it easy or was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

I paid my own way through trade school....

I sold my shop several years ago so I cannot do a clamp test for you to give you an accurate number. From reading Quad-I's website, it looks as if the lift is kept between 0.0005 and 0.001.
...

Have any of you guys tried the Quad-I vise? I had one and it was great. Solid as a rock and for about the same price as a Kurt. It is a little taller but can be turned on its sides. Here's the best...

This is a common insert type for general turning applications. The '2' in the 432 represents the insert corner radius. Divide this number by 64 and you'll get 0.0315 radius. For a sharper radius,...

I'll be sure to take into consideration your vast experience in the machining world and weigh your opinions accordingly. (nuts)

Don't worry... ObamaCare will take care of your health needs.

You seem to know a lot about fetishes.(wedge)

Surprise! Yes, I'm in San Diego. I thought my avatar was a dead give-a-way. Guess not, huh?

Just keep in mind, I generally give back what I receive.

BTW, I see you're in SD too. Have we bumped into one another before? What shop do you work for or are you self-employed?

Come to think of it, at one point I've made the internal baffles that go into silencers for a local Marine Corps armorer. Couldn't make the complete assembly since its illegal to possess. Some other...

That could be. Who knows? LOL!

Hey, why don't you just ban me? Why hold back? Glad to see you're not biased or unwilling to throw your weight around to get your way.
