These were kumamoto oysters so I figured it was trying to speak Japanese

In that case, my initial private translation was probably correct

In a pensive moment rarely captured on film, Nathan quietly reflects upon the demise of the KIA...

"And this is exactly why I should have stayed with the damned Japanese models..."

Makino is good and proper Japanese

Can anyone read what was on the inside of this oyster I just ate?

"We've been trying to reach you about your vehicle's extended warranty"

I was gonna edit it, and I deleted the attachment, but then I hit cancel, but it still deleted the attachment. I just did it again to confirm that’s what happened haha.

Hit that 2x4 so hard at the very end it just split hahahaha. No damage to the LC as expected, this thing is bad. I think it’s ready to clear a new trail to the river tomorrow.

agreed. I dont think the tips of those knives can hold his weight without deformation or breakage.

There are things, once seen...which cannot be unseen. Be careful what you wish for.

(And I've had enough sutures lately, thank you very much.)

Some chip porn

This is like snuff porn. The lack of coolant is painful to watch

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

You don't run coolant when milling steel with modern carbide unless you can't hit the SFM needed to prevent BUE, or when you need to flush chips. Otherwise, steel is done dry when possible, the carbide holds up better and you can run it faster. No, to me the truly painful part about that video was the painful lack of positive geometry inserts in those shell mills. Your cuts should be pretty quiet, it should not sound like dubstep. I'm guessing that particular setup could never be particularly rigid and negative inserts hold up better, but that didn't sound "good".

That said... That is the most insane "billet" part I've ever seen. Turning that taper with a boring head was pretty cool.


Cycle time on a part like that would be many hours and possibly days. That part is probably worth $30,000 and the machine is millions, so it probably doesn't run unattended, someone would want to keep an eye on that. Which would be a long, tedious and terrifying day.

Really cool "tool changer".

Actual proper gear hobbing.

There are a lot of complicated features on that part that would have tight tolerances. Can you imagine after all of that, one of your bores was out? Or those splines were a little off? holy shit. Nope.
