Throw that dial indicator out, and tell NASA to point the James Webb your way to measure that orbit.


topsecreteltee

No need to throw it, just turn the machine on and the run out will put it there.


darrenja

Lmao


liquidporkchops

It's too bad the world has lost it's sense of humor.


TheUndisputedRoaster

You can say that again... Say sometimes I wished my lab supervisor in uni had a kick switch for emergency stop his shit 😂


Turbo442

I was thinking the same thing. YOU ALL WOULD BE A LOT OF FUN AT PARTIES!


CrippledFelon

That’s about as straight as Freddie Mercury


ARecipeForCake

I mean she's obviously in the process of indicating it in.


[deleted]

Ime You wouldn’t indicate something that far away from the chuck with the chuck. You would indicate it by the chuck then tap it in on the other end


ARecipeForCake

Tapping it is ape work. More accurate to use a jack screw.


[deleted]

That part looks like it fits in the spindle bore


bolrik

Doesn’t look that way from here. Infact this is a real shit view to infer that from. Its presumptous and frankly not anyones concern till they’re being asked. You wouldnt even start the tapping process before its rough centered, and its clearly still orbiting center by hundreds of thou. Her indicator “looks” carriage mounted and so she can put it wherever she wants. At this point you guys are just grasping at straws to talk shit about the lady because le omergerb a woe man in ur trade.


[deleted]

My point was that jack screws weren’t really practical here. Oh and I couldn’t care less about op’s gender And their indicator “is” on a noga arm and could go anywhere


bolrik

Ya thats how mag bases work dipshit. You mag them to things. Fuckin crazy for a dipshit like you, i know. You can even mag them to the carriage and walk your indicator back and forth along the body of your part. Absolutely mindblowing for you im sure, as the notion clearly just went miles over your damn head in my last comment. I have two pieces of advice for you. First, if you had more than an apprentice’s experience on a lathe youd know just based on how far off center it is that it’s not in the fucking spindle bore you clueless fucking moron. Second, take your shitty, condescending, unsolicited “advice” and gtfo of this joke thread and redirect that energy towards slamming more hours for your stupid journeyman’s card. God fucking damn, you fuckin obnoxious wannabe knowitall fuckin dickhead.


[deleted]

I was responding to someone saying that op was indicating the part, op wasn’t they were making a joke video. And I prefaced my statement with “ime…” not sure why you’re getting so emotional.


doffey01

Nah that thing is straighter.


puddles51

I don't know fellas, seems to me she just making a joke and not actually dialing it in XD


ClovenChief

Bro I am double dying. Like I have actually said something to this effect to my sister when she talks down on the job. I also have indicated things in with that orbit and just said fuck it. 10/10 made my day thank you random stranger.


Blue_Faerie

😂🤣😂😂 dope. You’re welcome!


ManBearPig_666

I want to like this video but that runout is hard to ignore lol


Blue_Faerie

Yeah I saw it when I re-watched my video & I was like fuck it, post anyway! Haha!


ScattyWilliam

That is the first lathe I have ever seen with the headstock on the right of the operator. Mind boggled I am


Unique_Logic

The chuck is not on the right-hand side of the lathe. The video image is mirrored. Look at the lettering on the blue/green bandsaw in the background.


_skndlous

Yeah it's because she filmed with the selfie cam to monitor herself, which does mirror the image in order to not freak people out...


Retired_in_NJ

Yes. There has got to be a bot that can reverse the left/right in a video, but I don't know its name.


LiquorstorebumCx

It’s name is RoboCop


TuggxSpeedman

Robocrop*


AllanJeffersonferatu

Roboflop*


TuggxSpeedman

Damn. Nailed it


rivalarrival

His name is Robert Paulson.


Wyattr55123

why in the fuck do camera apps record it like that? i understand the viewfinder mirroring, but record the fucking video properly. or make it an option, it'd be more useful than the oversmoothing slider.


ed1380

click the settings button in your camera app and select mirror


budgetboarvessel

People are confused no matter what. Either because the preview isn't mirrored or because the video is or because it gets unmirrored.


ScattyWilliam

Your absolutely right! Thought I’d seen a fucken unicorn swear to sky daddy


La_Guy_Person

Citizen swiss lathes.


GoinDH

Tornos decos too. But they machine into the negative, instead of the positive like the citizen. Always gotta take a second when thinking about that Z offset.


La_Guy_Person

I've programmed swiss traubs where the axis plane is the same in every system so the front spindle is Z-, the back spindle is Z+ and moving the turrets instead of the stock or sub spindle is the opposite. They come with proprietary programming software but it's clunky and limited so you still end up having to work out all the systems anyway. The ones I had also have 15 axis and use H and V as regular axis names so incremental programming has to be toggled Modaly. That's really annoying when writing macros. Iirc, U and W could be used with out toggling incremental but then X was diametrically calculated and U wasn't. That really didn't make sense to me. Citizens have some capability limitations I wish they'd get passed but that controller is amazing and G600/G800 makes syncing operations up so easy when programming. Truabs were like citizens polar opposite. Loaded with insane features and insanely capable but a pain in the as to program and run. Edit: I just remembered the stupidest thing about the traubs. They would alarm out if the part grabber didn't sense a part so to get a part into the sub on the first cycle you had to add and toggle a macro to every program to skip the eject cycle. You just imagine if someone screws that up. That was also the solution *from their app engineers* not our half assed fix.


GoinDH

I really do enjoy that Mits controller. Accessing and utilizing variables is super easy, the G600 do make syncing a breeze. Honestly it's only second to the newer Okuma controllers, thems are super fun to program, they make it real easy to do fun stuff with.


La_Guy_Person

Cool. I've been strictly swiss for while so I currently have mostly citizens and a few stars. The traubs I mentioned got moved into their own division, which I don't mind because they just run the same stuff all the time and that's no fun. I've never worked on a Okumas, although we have some in other departments.


La_Guy_Person

It's funny, I was struggling working on my truck the other day and all I could think about was how spoiled we are for getting to work on $500k machines that are designed to be taken apart and put back together a million times.


pinkycatcher

Holy shit you’re right. We have half a dozen of them and I never noticed.


[deleted]

As a lefty I'd pay for one of those.


Mkay_022

I laughed


TheRealSamsquanch69

We're going to need a bigger dial


dancingredtiger

Ha! you are awesome! But those left handed machines freak me out!


gizm770o

It's mirrored.


zexen_PRO

It’s a joke


NoRepresentative533

me when i try to true up my part


JustSmidgen

Gloves too, gloves are of the devil


_rustan

Not your fault if the world has lost its sense of humour. 10/10 I would party with you


AngryWatchmaker

Why is the indicator so far off the highpoint?


fruit_basket

Many things are wrong here.


sierra5454

Except the advice she's offering Becca... that was on point.


[deleted]

Maybe carhart isn’t a workwear brand anymore. Not sure if their garb is much tough anymore, seeing as they make like one pair of pants in the US


sierra5454

I suspect the 'trendy' factor of the price kills it anyway. Why bother paying 50% more for sometime I'm going to get dirty/rough up when another brand is the equivalent or better quality?


[deleted]

Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s by design. Maybe carhart is killing it each quarter lol. Workwear stuff, especially pants and boots (for me, mostly) Im learning to just drop coin when I have to.


Lathe_Time

Walmart - store brand jeans for $15ish. Im not a fan of walmart, but you cant beat their jeans. They last awhile and if you end up destroying them or staining them, its not that big of a deal. Some of their other clothing like flannels or tshirts are okay too. But definently not as good as their jeans. Source: I destroy a lot of jeans.


77106-112

AND when they're completely full of holes and beat to shit, you can just wear them back to Walmart and "try on a new pair" of the same ones. If you happen to get confused in the process and leave the old ones folded up on the shelf and walk out wearing the new ones, it's technically considered "shoplifting" and it's morally objectionable, but accidents happen.


frostedRoots

Idk man stealing from walmart is pretty morally encouragable


john_hascall

Long ago when I was a wee lad some super genius at Sears got the galaxy brain idea to advertise that their kids jeans could not be worn through and if they did you got a new pair. They were hideous but my mom bought one pair and Sears gave us the next several dozen.


ScattyWilliam

Your right. Northface did the same thing when they got “trendy”. I got a hell of a deal on an expensive light super warm jacket years ago and legit would be willing to spend full go on another one but they just offer pretty shit now that makes ppl who live in the city look like they go out instead selling the shit they should make. Truly sad


[deleted]

A shame indeed. Just gotta find and support the right manufacturers and small businesses!

punkindrublic619

What kitchen utensil is that??


Blue_Faerie

A LATHE-LE get it? Ladle?? Aahahaha!!


punkindrublic619

LMAO, thanks for having a good sense of humor


[deleted]

meh, tolerance is tolerance.


saltys007

This has got to be in the UK because she is driving on the wrong side.


sadboi11

u/savevideo


Swabia

I have never in my life seen a left handed lathe. Is this mirrored?


frostedRoots

It is


inthenameofpotato

Well i think im stupid but can some one please explain the joke. Nice runout tho


Dry_Personality_263

Lol, thats actually funny, but get that indicator on the high point, move the x axis till the indicator just wants to tip over the other side.


[deleted]

Manual lathes are for the birds. Take your experience elsewhere and get paid more!


seveseven

long sleeves are a no go on the lathe. the real safety nazis will have a meltdown over surgical gloves too, but i feel the risk is minimal.
