Re: Feed rate increase and crazy thread milling, just for fun

I've gotta get some sleep, but once I do, I'm going back and downloading all the photos you've sent to a folder of it's own for study. My weekend is kinda jacked up, as my shift is changing slightly. I was working four 10-hour days, 10pm to 8:30 am, for some months, then they changed it to four 9-hour days, 9pm-6:30am and a 4-hour half-day , 8pm-12am, on Fridays, but that ended yesterday. Tomorrow, we go to five 8-hour days, 10pm-6:30am. And another dollar an hour for a shift differential. Like everything, change is hard, but I'll get used to it. Though I loved the 3-day weekends, and loved the 2.5-day weekends only a little less. I'll be happy with a little more pay, and only a two-day weekend like everyone else. This may make finishing my class easier, too. I've got a dozen or so projects left for the class, and then a brush-up so I can take some of the NIMS certification tests. The school will now pay for as many of them as you want to take. So I might go for everything I think I can pass in the manual machining certifications. I've never worried about certifications before, but I had a really hard time finding a job after my last career fizzled. Might be good to have something that's newer than 20 years old and possibly relevant to current requirements. ;) Bill in OKC

Bill,? Look where all the gears used to be feeding the gearbox, took "em all off and put the chain/sprocket stuff on. Way cheaper than new gears for kind of a 4 off part! Worked perfect too. I made the milling attachment using a spindle from an old Clausing mill on a custom mount attached to the compound so I could swing it at the required angle, radius at the root was ball endmill.? Once you get past a little thinking about how to do this it's fun! Dave On January 12, 2019 at 5:12 PM "Bill in OKC too via Groups.Io" <wmrmeyers@...> wrote: |
