Also did a night run on another laser. 3/16 6061-T6 aluminum footplates. Sometimes the slugs stick but they fall out when these get removed from the sheet. Then they're setup in one of our HAAS mills and gets counterbores and radius's milled into the edges. Then deburr and powdercoat. Not as detailed as Brians stuff but we do massive quantities of parts in all shapes and materials

This is the dumbest 6 pages of shit I've read on rdp. First Dave was talking sense then he caved and gave in for some reason [emoji43]. Brian everyone is happy you are doing cool shit but if you signed an NDA just shut the fuck up and dont say shit. You really think companies that make you sign an NDA don't research you and pretty much any thing you say or write? They don't write those things for fun. Better to not say anything rather than getting caught vaguely talking about shit you are legally not
allowed to IMHO...

Band this guy. He's terrible

Wow. Really?

its not about nothing.

It is about a member stating he had a good day and completed something no one else could do.


Brian

Must be pretty amazing shit if nobody else could do it. Wish I could've seen it. Maybe another time.

I can show you a picture tomorrow. Im sure no one will be happy about it, but it will be a picture of the project.

Green button means go, folks.

LOL... Gotta love it!

I wasn't trying to be ruthless about it, I was just trying to point out that it is kind of a blueballs situation. I think because I own the joint when I say shit people always assume when they read the text I'm yelling or correcting etc.. Most the time I'm just joking around and asking, or kinda trying to point towards.. Very rarely do I get to the "look mother fucker" routine. Shit Brian's been doing his best to bust my balls all morning with his little picture comments. What he doesn't realize is my balls are so blue from all these threads I can't even feel it. ;) :D

Man, that shit was just half court press from the opposite site of the court. :)

I was just applying the same rules and regs on you sir. ;) Almost like the politicians voting to get the bad ass cadillac healthplan while making that same plan unobtainable for the rest of us.

The best part is my two, now the new three or four, nutswingerhaters chiming in, calling for my "banding" almost like a comedy, "Look at this dumb guy, hehehehe, we are posting in his thread how stupid he is." If I am so stupid and my threads are dumb, why the fuck are they paying attention? tweedle-d and tweedle dumb pair have been on ignore for two years, at least.

Brian, I have wasted enough energy on the subject.. I tried to talk to you about it, per usual the conversation always has to go to extremes for some reason. I'm ok with that, and the little napolean complex. As I said earlier it seems when I say something people tend to maybe think of it more than it was intended to be. For that I apologize, I wasn't trying to yell at you, or be a cock to you. In light of the pm, I felt pretty shitty about it.

To be honest I'd like to get to a point where I'm moderating the board less and less. We recently added another moderator, so with shit like this into the future I'll just tell the guys for them to handle the situation how they see fit, and remove me out of it. :) If ever you are around I'd gladly drink a beer with you and check out Carl's old Howard. There's a lot of things you have done in the past that I think are absolutely outstanding and speak to your character as a person. There's other things that I don't pretend to understand, but again I think that comes down to me maybe not reading your writing style correctly. Like I said earlier man, no hard feelings. I'm not mad, I hope you aren't either. Enjoy the day, congrats on your project.

No sir, not at all. I thought to even added smilies to convey the "funnin" nature.

No hard feelins

Although I do like the napoleon reference. Seems short people have to let peeps walk all over them and tall people can say it the way it is, and it is cool. :)

Our shop used to do it that way in the old laser, with the new one they destroy the slugs by cutting them in smaller pieces. Occasionally they would peel up and the head would hit them. The down side is you have to deburr the slotted holes more

Ow, is that as bad as it sounds?

The words "head hitting", to me, and laser sounds bad

I know it can't be good, plus you have to restart so it waste time. I'm not in there very often, just noticed they were doing it there other day while cutting parts for me and asked why.

It means you shoulda spent a little less on a boat, and a little more on a sense of humor. :D

RD

Ok. That doesn't even make sense to me. But if that makes u feel better so be it. [emoji202]

So update on the Gangster part, the client stopped by and wasn't quite as ecstatic with it as I was, so I put on my humble hat and will work on the changes he asked for. 10% change on the mounted part and 40% change on the moving part.

Meanwhile, fuck it, I'm petty deflated.

I bounced the part out of the machine while I regroup. Three different jobs and 4 setups concurrently in this machine is making the tooling a complete mess. My #1 VF4 only has a 25 tool magazine, so typically I don't do multiple setups in it, but it just worked out because #2 has it's own machine loading.

It is what it is.

I still feel like it is motherfuckingangsterpart. :)

So the gangster part got revised, per the clients wishes, and I had to do some research and get him what he wanted, again. :)

I retooled, regrouped, put on my humble hat and made some changes and I spent the better part of the last two weeks bangin on this thing fulltime to finish it. I haven't seen my house in the daylight in three weeks, Im talkin getting up and going to the shop at 4 5 or 6 and staying till 7 8 9 every night.

I finished the parts finally yesterday mid day after a couple missed deadlines, and the client immediately come by and picked them up and paid. This was a really hard one with no general direction and a very loose set of guidelines. Something I tend to stay away from, but this client said two or three peeps have tried and neither could do it. One look at what he had to start with and I knew it was possible.

I feel a sense of accomplishment, and a sense of relief, and am paying some bills that are behind and settling back into the normal SBP groove.

Because of the events and timelines, I am going to miss Desert Storm this year, there is almost nothing that can prevent that now, and for that I am sad, but the business carries priority, and that is what I have to see to.
