Avete presente gli ingranaggi enormi del film "Tempi moderni"?

Erano tagliati su macchine come questa, altro che CNC!

Well I needed some shim steel to fiddle with the way clamps on my tiny Chinese #lathe and the best way to get a decent range of shim stock was to purchase some feeler gauges. I just have to learn to drill them for the clamping bolts and figure out which shims work best. It’s going to be a nice project when the temperatures rise a bit and I can bear to touch any cast iron :) #machining

Would anyone be interested in renting an old woodworking shop (75m², attic) with me and @GFJonathan in Willich (20km from DUS)?

The rent is 550/mo (so 180–130 p.p.) but the place looks really good.

Mia moglie, dalla camera da letto, chiede se stia guardando un video di qualche persona che ha distribuito male il carico in lavatrice.

Non proprio, ma il casino è lo stesso.

Far future todo.

I'm thinking to add an escapement mechanism to my metal shaper, to rotate the piece by steps at every stroke of the ram, without having to deal with servomotors, sensors, g-code, etc. when I want to make something round(ish).

After that ,it's just a matter of choosing the right gears to rotate the piece around the Y or the Z axis.

Maybe @attoparsec (who has both a metal shaper and an escapement movement as logo for his Youtube videos) has clues…

Hey Washington, there's a profoundly bad law making its way through the state level.

This law, will require ALL 3d printers to send copies of the files you print directly to the government to be check against a database of "banned shapes".

Literally turning your 3d printer into spyware. And if you don't voluntarily turn your printer into a spy, you will be a class C Felon.

This law affects ALL CNC machines, not just 3dps.

If you think you are envied by me because of your 💩 Rolex or your 💩 💩 💩 BMW I can assure you I find you as useful as the R in "Marlboro".

But I think it's unfair and cruel to show me this!

Special for heavy #machining lovers: ho to resurface an anvil 😱

My anvil is more or less the same size, and I have to resurface it, too… here is why I bought a metal shaper (for a price lower that that of the tool mounted on the mill of the video 😄 ).

Heavy 1950s #machining with a metal planer, or "making chips by the ton".

Not too difficult… when the table of your machine is a dozen meters or more.
