Thanks! With no previous experience on cnc I have been taking baby steps when it comes to speeds and feeds.

@@YensR Well I have broken a couple of small end mills but not too many so far. Hopefully it stays that way

🤯 I'm out here in the innerwebs I guess invisioning your just making parts magically out of thin air by hand....like some magical Santa's workshop haha but THIS is so much cooler!!! Of course you have real equipment! I wish I could buy and send you any and ALL the scrap at the shop before they close! It's be so worth the frieght $ to ship to you 😂 I'd have to sell a kidney but you could make me a new one I'm sure lol Thanks for sharing this too!

Lol. This machine was new in May. I have no previous experience with cnc and I haven’t turned it on since early August so it’s still all very new to me. I have a couple of smaller manual machines that I made everything on before. I still use them but I hope to get more things going on the cnc as time allows. I suck at the CAM side of it so it’s a steep learning curve. In the meantime I’m operating on a mix of Santa’s workshop/Chinese sweatshop.lol

@@RCP57 hahaha that's a hell of a mix...or might be one in the same? That's really cool you got the new machine though! Just to even have one, that's your own, to fuck around with and learn on your own is pretty cool. There is a lot to learn even with tooling and speeds. If we had more time for me to learn (having more than two workers) I might have been able to help out a lot better in that department. I went to school for mechanical drafting. I got all my on the job training at the shop. My boss put me on the floor first to learn all the equipment and how things work. Then eventually when it was down to two of us standing, he needed help with keeping up with drawings so he could quote and do the bossman work. So eventually I drew up the parts for the laser and ran it, making parts list and making sure my coworker knew what he needed to do, cleaning and machining smaller parts on the manual mills/lathe, was working with his wife with ordering too. I'd paint and pack and load/unload stuff. Sometimes id tack weld or weld smaller bullshit stuff that wasn't crucial. I'm alright but have no idea what settings I need or how to tear apart and fix a welder. I may have become better with our big brake press, but it had it's flaws and the dies were all janky and cut up. So I needed my coworker to determine the best ones to use and level it all. There was a lot of things wrong there...we were very much making rocketships with three hand tools and a book of matches haha we had all our own tools too. So I was basically 1/3 of a shop so I felt like I had a purpose. I hope I can find such a job again one day.
