Next week I'll be machining our new tombstones.

[MATT Q]

Trimmed a headliner for a huge case combine size is 85 x 90 has about 90 holes in it and a bunch of cut outs. challenging and fun:) big ABS part

[Brendan P]

I spent the past 5 days with (2) FANUC tech's installing a renishaw probe on our VMC so we can

use some custom macro's on one of our products.

 

Needless to say that it is still not finished due to the fact that 1 of the gentleman (John Mahoney)

ended up having a heart attack and has been in CCU

for the past 2 days.

 

Did I also forget to mention that we had a 4 day

ISO audit as well?

[Scott Bond]

Some larger Vac. Chamber stuff.(with anal leak test)

Hmm..lets see..

 

This week I made a buck for forming an acoustic guitar back, a small clip for a radiation detector that you clip on your shirt, machined thermoformed and trimmed some clear packages for a shower head, yesterday I modeled a thermoform package for an electric shaver and today I'm toolpathing and machining it. Is it the weekend yet????

[Rekd™]

B.U.M.A.

 

Microwave Antenna Housings and Heatsinks out of the (no offense intended) crappiest Chinese castings I've ever seen. Pits in the wave guides after they're machined, and yesterday found a piece or carbide in one. (Well, the endmill found it, and wasn't all that happy about it...) These are running 5 operations on 3 machines.

 

Also making a couple different Comanche microwave parts on the other 2 machines.

 

'Rekd teh "No! That mop WILL NOT fit next to the broom!!!

Ya might consider rephrasing this, unless of course it REALLY is an ANAL leak test which is gennerally a very simple test.

[MetalMarvels]

Some more adapter plates for drag racing engines, a hand-full of brass right-angle solder lugs, a bunch of microwave component boxes, and about 140 gallons of aluminum chips.......... My kingdom for a chip conveyor!!!!

[kccadcam]

More Carbs for PSI Performance, machining 718 Inconel castings (YUCK!!) with funky form tools (more YUCK) for jet engine igniters.

 

 

Lets all have one or two together for the weekend!!!!

[specv]

I was wrestling with my first ever lathe program,not an easy one either, metric prints and unilateral dimensioning, AND the part was in thirds, clamped together .....luckily i was working with a lathe set-up guy that has been setting them up since the first nc lathe was built

[Jeremiah]

Reworking parts for some airplane, engineering forgot to put the holes on the cad models. I tried Rekd's " oh those holes, they're in this bag put em where you want em" , but that didn't go over so well.

These o/t's are the best.
