That's probably shop rate. Like paying a mechanic. Shop rate for me is $160 but I don't get nearly that, also covers machines, rent, etc.
Yep. My parents are still down there. My dad barely has a mind that isn't "patriot" anymore.
Something is going on down there. I'm from Texas. My family is still there so I go back often. It's so radicalized there that Arkansas feels like a blue state in comparison. North Texas in particular has lost its fucking mind.
I get this is satire, but how the fuck do you even cook a steak that bad. Is it boiled?
Yeah it's tough. There's no good rule of thumb you'll just have to push it till it fails sometimes. Careful is always better but it's also slow. Just remember a vice tightened normally is several thousand pounds of clamping force.
I've been working as a prototype machinist for a few years so similar situation.
You just gotta try. If the tool says it can do it and the machine has enough power just work up to a good DOC. Trust the DRO and have at it. I've almost never had anything go flying out of a vise or chuck, but use good judgement.
I've made .1" doc in 17-4PH H900 and titanium on the lathe holding onto 1/4" of material. Never had a part go flying. Ive thrown parts in the mill but never caused machine damage, just broken endmills and scrapped parts.
On super expensive material or parts I'm slow but I can still hit .0001" tolerances with big roughing cuts.
Not sure if it's a thing there, but sendcutsend does stuff like that in the US. All web based and reasonable prices.
