How on earth could this thread have 1,000 pages?


Excellent snipe

I paid for my UF-2 earlier and look forward to it. I guess that's worth showing up on page 1,000.

In at 1000.

On a mill, in the ground, what kind of sump?

200 gallons of sick misery

The new(ish) Mori Seiki GV-503 has a sump designed for plastics with a two compartment sump separated by a rolling filter mesh that is continuously cleared by sprays that is a part of a chip conveyer that uses paddles instead of augers and normal conveyer belting and is able to process chips from plastic machining, and this is one reason I got this for our scales production - because dealing with regular machine tool sumps in the past has been a nightmare. It doesn't work. Shit gets through and the cotton in micarta is a food source for sump yogurt. It got pretty bad and I had to muck it out. You need to get it all or it will start all over again. I started on Sunday at noon and I (sort of) finished today at about 6:00.

Sump mucking is gross, tedious and hard on the back and skin. reaching up in there digging out slimy sump livers. I f*cking hate it so much. soooo much.

Today was a bad day.

I’d still rather touch that stuff than some of the grime at the bottom of the sink.
Regardless thank you for working so hard to make and ensure a quality product, Nathan.

Yuck. Sorry Nathan the Machinist .

Reminds me of the article I read this morning: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-the-ancient-romans-went-to-the-bathroom-180979056/

Makes me feel better about donning shoulder length veterinary gloves and pulling the septic filter once or twice a year.

Oh, what fun.

Sorry, Nathan. I can relate.

 

[WValtakis]

Speaking of long gloves... I got a new blasting cabinet

It also occurred to me today that Thundercats was basically He-man for furries
Edit- not that there's anything wrong with that
