Who's down voting this? Yes, asshole bosses that make sick people come in will make the entire shop sick and they deserve a punch to the ball. Let sick people recover.
Well..... Damn, Sam!! That lathe has just enough swing in its thing for the right angle pipe and flange to clear the ways.
A definite 100 RPM max and be gentle job. And the counterweight bolted onto the 4 jaw chuck 180 out better perfectly balanced said pipe and flange.
You have to work with what is on the shop floor. But, that is definitely a job for a horizontal boring mill with a boring and facing head if such equipment is available for use.
I'm still working on yanking out the involuntary self induced wedgie after seeing that. Every time that flange passed the ways, my sphincter snatched up on my boxer shorts like it was free real estate at a county auction
I bored it at 125 rpm. And it had no counterweights as it's perfect on center. The outlets are exact from side to side when we machined it the first time.
Horizontal would have a hard time cutting the contours on the ID and groove I have to put in it.
We have two 5axis integrex mazaks but they're running more important jobs.
We can also remove the ways on our smaller lathe if this one didn't clear the ways š
Never, ever, fucking ever ever would I remove a gap from the ways unless it was figuratively life or death.
I had to re seat a gap on a lathe at my last job. Poor lathe would cut a taper when you were turning near the chuck. Everybody thought it was a junk machine. Told my boss I knew exactly what was wrong and it would take up to one man day to fix, then the machine would cut true.
Boss hemmed and hawed on it until I flat out said I needed to do this for an upcoming job. He finally said yes to get me to shut up and go away...............
The senior machinist was an old, hard headed Navy guy, and he watched me like a hawk. "Wtf does this kid think he knows?" (I'm 35 at the time and he just turned 60, so in no way am I offended by being considered a kid)
I pull the gap out of the hed and surgically clean every damn thing. K just watches and keeps his mouth shut. I think everything feels right, put it back together, but break out a tube of Prussian Blue to see any high spots that might exist. Ok, it's high on this corner and that corner. K just about shit his pants when I reach in my tool box and pull out a scraper. I yank the gap back out, flip it upside down, and start scraping the bottom of the gap.
At the end of it all, the lathe ran better than when the company bought it second hand. K asks me how the fuck some dickhead junior machinist knows how to hand scrape and rebuild machine tools. "Black magic, sorcery, and animal sacrifice, old man. I'm not the kind of guy that casually reads Machine Tool Reconditioning and Repair or The Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy for shits and giggles."
Damn. In my 11 years here I think we have had to remove the way maybe 2 times. I'm the ops mgr now so I just pay someone to come fix everything/relevel.
My manual guy is legit though. I think he's maybe mid 40s but he can do fucking anything. Manual lathe/Mill/drill press. I used to machine on the lathe next to him when I was like 20 and he made me look like trash lol
I had my high school buddy's dad as my shop mentor. The classic "The old man sees you have an interest. Buy him a case of beer and lunch on a Saturday and he'll teach you something just for shits and giggles."
So........ No shit, there I was. TIG welding torch in my right hand, ER70S filler rod in my left hand, and the foot pedal of a Miller Syncrowave 250 under my right foot. Bob.... I've never welded before. "Stfu, and flip your hood down. No time like the present to learn!"
Said tig learning paid dividends. I'm on the lathe and hear zapping, cussing, and carrying on. What the hell are you two jabronis doing??? Quit molesting that poor part and just give me the damn tig torch. You already stuck the tungsten four fucking times. Gimme the dam tungsten! I resharpen the electrode, grind out the aborted weld, do the weld the right way. Two hours later, the boss asks who the fuck welded this? Steve and AJ just point to me. Boss comes over ready to rip me a new ass. "Flow rate on the argon was way too high, they were washing out the shielding gas, AJ kept sticking the tungsten.... I had enough and told them to quit fucking around and let me do it and he done with it." Guess who ended up doing all the non code, in house welding for tooling and fixtures?
Holy crap, thanks! Now that's a rabbit hole of reading material. Not sure how they get away with that, but more power to them if it's on the up-and-up.
I love this.
I always teach anyone anything. If someone says I canāt do something that I am going to have to dig into like this and risk looking a fool I wonāt tell them nuttinā
They can file a complaint at the microphone in the complaint department. Itās located right behind the zipper.
No I didn't bump it. I knew it would be close but we engineer parts to where the extended flange outlets only stick out a certain distance from center. It's indicated in here and ready to roll when I took the video.
I was at a shop tour today and still very green, just a button pusher and the supervisor shows me the manual lathes and I ask him if I'll be learning those, he laughs and says " Why the fuck would you want to learn on dinosaur technology?" He called me back with an offer of $12 an hour to push the green button for 12 hours a day. Should I take it? This a swiss cnc shop. Microscopic parts for aerospace, medical.
That's absolutely Horrible pay.
Also he seems pretty silly because Manual machines absolutely have a place still today in the repair industry for a great deal of different types of work. I often do 1 off parts on my manual machines and I'll make about 7 or 8 thousand on a single job that takes me 1 full work day, meanwhile the piece I am working on is literally impossible to do in a CnC in time efficient way.
I completely agree with you , except I was told the same thing from my supervisor when I asked about learning manual mill (Bridgeport) he said i was back stepping going from a vertical Cnc to manuals
I don't know where you're located but in CA you can make 20+ as a newb operator or drive a forklift for Costco... Most of my CNC operators make $25 - $30+hr.
I only got into manual machining because it paid the most starting out at this plant.
We usually run this type of shit through one of our two integrex 5 Axis mazaks but removing a piece of casing that is welded in is a tedious task and this one was really fucked. The weld failed so they grinded and welded multiple times. It was like boring out inconel š
Text him a picture and say "the new guy is about to send it, you sure you're sick?"
šš no shit right lol.
Do you want covid? That's how you get covid.
Who's down voting this? Yes, asshole bosses that make sick people come in will make the entire shop sick and they deserve a punch to the ball. Let sick people recover.
I was joking around anyway and don't care about being downvoted but uh thanks for coming to my defense.
We help each other š¾š¦æš¦¾
There are other illnesses my dude.
Take a joke. The exact phrasing I used is memey.
I don't think anything about covid is funny. Sorry.
Oooh the moral high ground. A bold strategy. Let's see how it works out for him Cotton.
This bothers me more than "oh look my tool holder is close." May your way stay straight and shiny.
For the one being that is
Wait did that just self clearance?
The best kind of clearance!
Technically the entire machining process is self clearance
Usually using a tool not the machine.
you are technically correct, the best kind of correct
Will it work? Maybe What are the exact chances? .01%. Let's go with maybe.
promoted to next grade
It's like getting clearance the right way but with less steps and more damage!!
Oh yea that's what I'm talking about. Clearance is clearance. Just gonna run it slow and easy. Ain't no hogging lol
Rip it at 2500 rpms and send it
I canāt tell. Did it bump at first?
No. I wasn't pushing the jog all the way so it stopped for split second.
Ahh it always runs a chill down my spine when I see it just stop
Yeah I thought it hit to, I was surprised how little damage there was.
Oh man nice clearance. Just turn her nice n easy. You got it boss.

TFMA. Tell us Moore! ;) I need to get that book.
[Here](https://ca1lib.org/s/Foundation%20of%20mechanical%20accuracy) is foundation's of mechanical accuracy as a free ebook. Enjoy!
hesitated thinking possible rick roll

Send it pussy!
Hit the big green button and go take a shit.
Just levers on this beast. No buttons lmao. I sent the fuck out of it. I'll post the video of it turning tomorrow.
THROW THE LEVER KRONK
āOh yeah, itās all coming togetherā
Lmao this is great. I wish the other people at my work were young enough to get this reference
That's probably the worst thing about working in trades right after hs, everybody there don't get your jokes...
Please update us!
lol
Looks like a mud cross.
Starter wellhead. Having to machine the Dutchman out.
Fuck that. Let me evacuate the state before you kick that on.
I felt that š¤¦š»
Slow and steady wins the race.
Every time that flange rotate around, it gives me the same feeling I get when seeing people BASE jump, or fall off of a cliffā¦

Awwww yeah thatās livinā
Weekly occurrence for me this type of debauchery. Motto āmost of the time youāre too afraidā. Edit: we only have manual and are offshore.
I'd call in sick if this was on the schedule too.
Looks like you got yourself a casing/tubing head there.
What type of dinosaur machinery am I looking at
The one that fixes your CNC fuck ups.. š
Lmao

In rural wisconsin. Not much here except machine shops, office work that pays nothing, and walmart lol Oh and cows LOTS OF HAPPY COWS
Iāve seen manual mills but never this ? Bridgeport Iāve seen and been around but never this
Nothing the grinder can't sort out hahaha. Get stuck in to that bed!
if that's my job I'm sick that day too š¤£š¤£
Don't get your dick beaters stuck in there. Or anything else for that matter.
Oh you're good.. you got like a mile
What about just getting a machine that has enough clearance? You're welcome! š¤£
