Repair guy spent 5 hours going thru it . A pin broke in one of the 6 pin connectors . Lol he was frustrated with it. Once he found it he was relived

First tool ran fine. Nothing has been touched.

Fadal vmc 8030 This is a new one for us. Heard a cutter snap and when I looked the spindle was running backwards. Now when I run the program it runs counter clockwise. If I go to MDI. Type M3 the spindle runs counterclockwise with no speed control. Type m4 it spins clockwise with speed control. How can the machine switch M3 and m4?

I was thinking of a different problem I had years ago. Wanted tool inspection at approx. One hour but only retract when the cutter is off the part.

What version of mc did this start?

They've got a youtube video showing the vise being machined

Thankfully I got switched back to hourly In Hopes that I would show up on weekends and holidays. Guess what I don't lol. I have no problem putting in the hours needed,but when the boss refuse to try and get things running efficiently Iam not coming in to pick up his slack.

soo PBR?

Story time. ... bosses are my aunt and uncle, if she let's him say he's boss. They make 400k a year personally. So that argument about how they are still in business is out of the window for me to argue. Trust me I wonder everyday how this all pans out,are scrap rate is high, we pretty much have one customer,goodrich, which has red tagged us cuz of horrible delivery time and consistent issues with misinterpreted features on parts. Our spindles run maybe 70% of the 10 hour work day. Boss refuses to let me run multiple parts on a setup,even after I proved out how I could save 26 hours on a 500 piece order.instead he wants to us to come in on the weekend cuz we are salary. Other than that, I'm happy with my job. I get an above average salary ,401k and full medical for my family. But is it wrong for me to want to do a better,more productive job?

What's your beer? Your boss let's you drink at work? Lol. I may be able to atop by tomorrow around 430

Boss refuses to buy carbide endmills. Been buying these cheap $12 1/2 inch endmills. So far this week I've scraped $1000 in parts and have to remake a fixture due to this killer deal on endmills. They are breaking in the holder at the set screw. So instead of just snapping off they break but stay in the holder long enough to destroy everything. Mondayest Wednesday ever

There's a 3d comp chook. Never used it but I remember seeing it in there

You check with sheldons? He's right around the corner.over by the in n out off serfas club. He does some grinding for us.

Haha I was thinking the same thing. Ron loves him some morph between two curves. Wish I had multi axis license so I could see for myself.
