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.

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.
