WTF So I just dick'd my butt

Machinists work is 10% programming 10% material moving 80% standing and watching

only if you've got a cnc. If you dont, then its 80% avoiding metal shards.

Oh yeah
Manual machining
Its even more tedious since you have to actually pay attention the whole time

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

whats with the terrible surface finish. looks like you didnt clean up the stock before machining.

I didn't.
Internal part for a jig, doesn't need to be pretty and it would have been another operation I would have needed to input manually

it takes 10 seconds to take a couple mils off the surface of the stock :/ thats just basic pride of work.

I wasn't able to make a complete program, I had to input every operation manually every time. It took long enough already, and I'm not even sure its going to work properly until we get the production run in.

I kinda like those guys. They're the only lab that hasn't actively tried to cheat me

They are a customer of mine as well and I agree.

Ask 'em if we can use their tower.

Llnl guys are usually pretty competent, but shit at communicating and understanding requirements

Sandia might as well be called the national sales laboratory

Los Alamos made a good choice on sticking to their core competencies and not trying to do everything under the sun
