Having been reduced to only half a man, I'll resign myself to spend the rest of the day running my $200,000 multi-spindle, multi-axis machining center. Thanks for crushing my will with the 50 ton press buddy. :laugh:

TigStig. I like it. He has three legs, and doesn't know what a duck is, all we know is he's called the Stig. Our tame welder. Que the prog rock now.

hey i am here for ya buddy,through the good and the bad :huh: .
one day you will realize all your goals and dreams have been met.:kiss:

it really is too bad that you have to stand in font of that $200,000 multi-spindle, multi-axis machining center all day watching it cut out soulless parts when it could be building kick ass muscle bike parts for rabid zedheads!

ah such a waste of man and machine,

Preach, Preacher!

If only, I could make a living at KZ building. Sadly, the busted knuckle garage doesn't seem to pay very well, and no benefits. I guess I'll have to go on making soulless parts for the man. Oh poor me. :laugh:

it is standing right there in front of that
"$200,000 multi-spindle, multi-axis machining center"
that allowed the busted knuckle garage to build the kick a$$ blue and white muscle bike that you can't wait to get back home to.
:laugh:





so where is the next tray of material to load into this machine? :P

Thankfully, it's bar-fed, so I don't have to stand right there most times. I let it run and wright the next program, post a little on KZR. Go check a few parts, and repeat.

The sumbitch is making me earn my paycheck today. I gotta hold +/-0.0001" on two tolerances and my barstock is poo. It's barely round enough to hold the tolerance. Dang grinders need a kick in the ass every once in a while.
