This is my first encounter with your kind. I never knew I wanted to see more machinists memes
If you're going to stick around I'd recommend getting less salt in your diet. Second hand exposure to a machinist is enough salt to shut your kidneys down four times over.
There's usually 1 of 2 kinds - really sexy cuts:
And horrific crashes:
Then there's this. OP was likely doing a production run bored out of their mind, taking the likely victims of 3 crashes and wishing they had some black vinyl for a backdrop. I swear, if most of us didn't have NDA's, there'd be a constant stream of this kind of stuff. When you sit there for 10-12 hours a day making the same thing, you get creative. There's an entire drawer in my box dedicated to interesting ways I've seen an apprentice really screw it up.
Are there's still manual production runs in the first world? The one machinist I know IRL does manual stuff now, but it's all bespoke, and his colleagues sound like they might not have heard of CNC.
That's certainly a lot of machinists. I'm not production, about half my job is maintenance. Half my job is making parts. And half my job is screwing around.
I'm not totally new, but I'm glad to see there's some on Lemmy.
It's gonna get drilled.
Tap that...
It took me a moment.
Ahh this is why I got downvoted for saying I don't like torx 😂
Damn I don't know that I've seen an extractor for 1" thread before. Think I'd still rather that than a 6-32 or M4.
Dang thats alot of stripped bolts!
Can we get a 'Loss' version?
You know I was setting exactly that meme up when the bell rang.
We shall watch your career with great interest
My favorite is drilling a bolt out and just having the threads wrapped around the left-hand drill bit. No helicoil!
"Step-drill, I'm stuck"
