It was tricky because we didn’t have the car all we had was a measurement and the flanges were canted. It fit perfectly though.
Gotta love it when you nail the job with no input!!

Doing some thread milling today. Long too, 2.5 in deep.
This is what the prepped material looks like. I really hate dove tail work holdings, not rigid at all and makes machining slow and complicated trying to not machine away all my support from the material to get to finished part.

Did a bunch of 4th axis programing and machining today. Had to build a fixture that the part slips over. Anyone in here don't any 4rth or 5th axis CNC work?

I never programmed it but I offset tools and changed cutters in an agie charmilles 5-axis mill with a 100 tool revolving tool holder thingie ma bobber I’ve ran manual surface grinders, jig grinders, lathes, mills, water jet. With and without a DRO. Knew my G and M codes, speeds and feeds. Never got my journeyman papers but loved machining while it lasted. My heroin addicted ass fucked up some good opportunities over the years.

Lol it's funny you say that, every machinist, not operator; has the most self destructive habits outside of work. No one uses at work but once 5:30 rolls around people rushing to their rigs grabbing lokes and tokes.
My boss asked my thoughts on it and all I had to say was someone's personal time is their time A blood analysis seams reasonable but UAs go way too far. I definitely get pretty fucking lit once I'm not clocked and coming from a shop floor manager/lead CNC programmer that says something. Everyone I know at other shops is the same way. Machinists work pretty fucking hard and go way harder when it comes to shutting brain off work mode. Swear my work is an amphetamine just in its self and I have to take a downer or something just live outside of work.

I nodded out standing at my mill one time and it scared the fuck out of me. I asked to go home, said I wasn’t feeling good. They had to wake me up on the shitter one time too. No bueno

Yeah... nodding out at your machine is fucking scary... its not soo bad welding but when your doing ring welds that take 10-16 minutes each, if you nod off and stray from the weld joint, you're gonna have a fuckload of grinding to do... that only happens once... lol

The only thing I do at work is amphetamine. Can't drink caffiene, gives me migraines so when I have to stay late fist fucking a job until 1am I like to take about 10mg an hour, keep me away and focused. Shitty part is going to bed, gotta take something to go to bed.
Cant imagine nodding at a mill though. Would be a bit freaky. Nodding on a manual lathe would be scary as fuck.

Saw a video of a dude getting sucked into a turn mill that did the rounds on the phone not long ago.
Spun his insides out like a bag of water. Pretty intense stuff. I definitely would not wanna be nodding around anything like that.

I never understood how you could fuck in the offsets on a lathe when you just touch the eye and it zeros the axis

Eh it's actually supper easy. I always fat finger or sometimes don't punch a zero and we all know a -.005 offset going into a cut sounds way way different from the -.05 offset.

He said he was doing the final cut and the tool broke and wedged sideways... gouged out about 50 thou... instead of having me fix it quick, they decided to machine off 3+ inches...and I have the honor or grinding all that clean and putting a new flange on...

What the fuck is going on there? Looks laminated or like it was some kind of press fit sleeve that was being turned down to final diameter?
Edit: oh I see the finished one below. So the lathe caught and ripped off that whole flange ring? I can see now it's a welded on sleeve afair.
