COLTS 2019; A New Hope, next year, again

[churchmouse]

I’m always watching...

Are there 3 lathe safety rules or 4?

I have an early 50's Era Southbend lathe with the single tool post. I am upgrading to a multi-tool post which will also hold a proper parting tool opposed to the rigged one I use now.
The part that retains the post had to be made from flat stock and there was some modifications from metric to SAE so it would work easily.

This old girl tight here. It has been rebuilt.

Are you upgrading to the square tool post? Our manuals at work have the square rotating posts, they’re ok I guess. I don’t run the manuals, I’m on the cnc across the aisle but if I need to make a quick arbor or something I’ll go use one. We’ve been throwing away a lot of our older tooling and upgrading to newer stuff, so I may be able to get you a couple cutoff blades if you’re needing them. We have the blade style, but we’re ordering the square style at the start of the year. More rigid and quicker to load and unload in the cnc tooling blocks. Also can probably get a lot of our old bars and stuff. When I first started they didn’t even have a automatic collet closer, so I’ve got them ordering all new lathe tooling. They usually throw away the old stuff. I’ll grab what I can if it can be of some use to you with garage machines

Plus we bought a new building and will be moving all of our stuff in a year or so. They’re wanting to get rid of the stuff we don’t want anymore so we don’t have to move it. Win win really.

Going to the square holder. The black one up top. Thanks for the thought.

Ya that’s about the same style on ours. Those are nice. Now the only thing you need is an indicator dial on your way, then you can make us all some AR parts

Rams are on their heels. Cowboys are handing them their butts right now.

I have a couple of mag base dials...………

I earned that decal my friend.

CB texted me calling out he fact I left the key in the chuck. An absolute nono… and he is right on that. Nice enough not to call me out on open forum but I will bust myself.

I was taking the 3 jaw off to use a collet. This lathe is a chucker.

Bad mouse Bad bad bad mouse.

At work they have a holder for the key mounted next to the lathe with a magnetic switch so it will not start unless the key is in the holder.

Thats a good idea really. My cnc doesn’t take a chuck key, I get a fancy pedal to step on Our doors do have a safety feature where when they’re closed a key will slide into a slot, and the spindle won’t tirn on unless that key is in the slot. We disconnected them from the door tho and just leave the key in the slot. Major pain trying to set up with the door closed.

Started in a shop at 18, only crashed a machine once, when I was first learning to program the mill. A lot of times we will use different diameter offsets for the same tool (tool 19 will be D19 and D29 or D190, whatever). Was a nice vise until that day.

Ive had parts come out of the chuck, broke taps and drills etc but those aren’t really crashes. Those are just damnit that sucks moments.

Anyway sorry for the thread jack. Back on topic.

I think this year may be Baltimore’s year. They’re stomping everybody this year! My hopes for this years super bowl would be either the chiefs, raiders, Texans, or the bears. A lot of teams to pull for, but if the colts can’t have it I’m hoping one of them get it.

Thinking only KC or Texans have a chance out of that list tho

I was thinking today how much different this season could have been with a kicker and a couple of decent receivers.

I was thinking today how much different this season could have been with a healthy kicker and a couple of [STRIKE]decent[/STRIKE] healthy receivers.

FIFY...

It was a strange day in the NFL.

Really hoped Tennessee would pull it off yesterday. Looked like they might for awhile.

3 Obviously. It's ridiculous to always assume the lathe is loaded.

Sometimes it's not loaded. Why would you have different rules for when it's loaded and not loaded?

Yeah, Bears ain't happening. They lost to the cheeseheaded asshats in Green Bay. I ****ing HATE the ass-Packers. That bugeyed little ***** Aaron Rogers should just have to wear **** all over his face wherever he goes because he's a horrible person for being a Packer.






(Discliamer: Aaron Rogers would be the best QB and human being ever if he were traded to Minnesota)

OK man don't sit up there on the fence. Jump down and tell us exactly how you feel.

Well see that's hard to do. I'm kinda torn on the issue. You know. I see both sides. The packers suck and they deserve to lose embarrassingly every game and Aaron Rogers should be sacked every snap, even when he's on the sideline; OR the packers are the worst team with the worst colors and the worst fans in the history of football ever. Either way really.

Got it.....

The packers are to jamil as the patriots are to Churchmouse. We just get to hate some teams.

I am only a packers fan when they play the Patriots.
Or Dallas.
Or the Chargers.

OK who did I forget.
