  1. You don't want to use the photo method for mechanical parts. Cameras skew shapes. It may not be noticeable to the eye, but it will be when you try to attach your part. Flatbed scanner or manual measuring. Personally, I'd measure it with calipers and be done with it. It's maybe a 1h job.

  2. Wow, alot was out of sorts there. HD2 released the part before the door even opened, the robot arm should have moved back out before HD2 moved...

  3. Yeah, even if it was restarted partway through, there should be confirmation that the loader is in place before the machine takes action. This looks like it's run on timers or something.

  4. I can't remember if the matrix has that feature, but you should be able to do it with a YZ facing toolpath. You might have to shorten the face by the radius of your tool.

  5. I might do this. I've never worked on something this small with my shaper. It's pretty big.

  6. This is what they're meant for, though. I'd definitely be using the shaper.

  7. Start simple, THEN get more complicated. Walk before you run.

  8. I wonder if he was still pro-Russian and pro-Putin while they took turns up his ass.

  9. Probably. Don't see why he would change his stance due to reason at this point.

  10. If you're milling this with a Drexel on a 3d printer thst hasn't been built, your cycle time is about 1,000,000 on the things to worry about. Your machine rigidity will demand that you go as slowly as possible with the smallest cut possible. You won't be able to bury the tool. If this works at all, which it likely won't, the trochoidal motion will be your best bet.

  11. What does your code look like, what does your toolpath look like, and where is your workshift on the machine?

  12. Go program, then work no. then type in an unused number. The do a G0 G53 Z0.; M30; then go back to your position screen, put it in memory mode, load your program and hit cycle start. If you can't do any step of this, then you don't have EIA.

  13. You only have to watch one or two parts where titan kills 15k in tooling with 6" stick outs for no reason to know that he doesn't really know what he's doing. He's done a great job convincing college students that haas are the best machines on the market, though.

  14. As far as your workflow goes, this is ho I would do it too. Do you really need 100% locating features, or could you get away with 3 per piece? That should be enough to locate your part properly.

  15. not entirely, i just want to make sure it doesnt move as I'm lasering the bottom.

  16. You could try patterning your object a short distance a whole bunch of times and then combining them, then doing your boolean subtract from that. It'll be more computation expensive but less time consuming.

  17. Steep/shallow would work. There are likely others too

  18. I couldnt create it with steep and shallow but i have managed to create sufficient toolpath with 3D contour like this atleast for the radius.

  19. In order to prevent it from machining the hole you would have to create surfaces to mask that feature and include that geometry in your toolpath.

  20. Call fanuc applications or your machine tool builder. They have a department of people who answer calls for this. They'll know all the secrets to minimize your losses.

  21. I have about 388,000 points on my Amex Cobalt, and am trying to determine the most effective way to use them.

  22. You can transfer to Marriott bonvoy at a 5:6 gain, then if you're a MB member, you get 1 extra day per 4 or 5 days you book. This is the most consistent gain I've found.

  23. One of the large retailers in my country uses the last number as a way to determine what the stock status was. .00 or .99 was just normal priceing, .98 meant sale or special and .97 was for clearance stock. It just made stock management a little easier and at a glance you know if the product is no longer available for order.

  24. Are you all not vetting your own references? I'd never put someone down as a reference who didn't agree to it before hand and who I didn't trust.

  25. I put "references available on request." I haven't been asked in 10 years. However, I'm lucky enough to work in an industry where my knowledge and abilities are mostly evident the second I start talking about my job. And if I'm lying, they'll be able to tell in the first few weeks.

  26. These are examples of use cases. If you don't want an angle, don't put in that line.

  27. Not to be a dink, but to understand things; you changed the program, then didn't even at least simulate it before sending it to your machine. Worse still you let the machine run what sounds like multiple parts without verifying them?

  28. Lol, exactly. When scrap gets made, it's the machinists fault.

  29. Will this cause galvanic corrosion? I don't know metallurgy enough to know if this combo will or won't.

  30. I'm not 100% sure, but my thoughts would be that the aluminum would be preferred for corrosion, which would prevent the brass from corroding. I think they would share electrons at the metal-metal interface, but since there's no oxygen in the weld, it should stay pretty secure. This type of weld has been used in battery bus bars (minus the zinc in the brass) for a long time already, which would not work well if oxides were forming in the weld over time. It's not really meant to be a 'mechanical' weld, beyond the ability to basically hold together. Obviously the better it does, though, the more desirable the process. For my purpose, demo giveaways for trade shows, it should be good enough. Put it in a vise and hit it with a hammer, and it'll break, but it's fine to be dropped from 5' a few times before a crack appears.

  31. The OP did not say that. Also, I am the OPs coworker and order the tool, so….

  32. Yo, T-Bags, what's up? There are extra ice cream sandwiches in the freezer.

  33. You make it sound so easy, on my dodge dart it was not. Maybe your nut was older and more worn out than mine so it uncrimped easier? Mine took a lot of hammering with a center punch.

  34. On my integra I had to cut the nuts off with a dremel. It was a good thing I was replacing the CVs anyways.

  35. Couldn't it just go back and forth to make that pocket? What about the 8mm pocket, theres enought space for the tool to do its thing?

  36. Look at the picture of the toolpath. Is that what it shows?

  37. Yeah you are right, I tought contour was used to cut the shape out of the material as a final step.

  38. Ttolpaths are just sort of used where they're needed. There's no hard and fast rule

  39. Mais c'est ok d'utiliser "baby-sitter".... et "ok"!

  40. You should see the French canadian version. It comes with an English thesaurus.
