Yeah. I’ve only ever crashed on the first few parts I ever made. And used the wrong tool number for the z height once and broke a little endmill. But I damn near friction welded an insert holder to some 303 shaft collars that turned on me in the fixture at work one time. Fucker was glowing red hot cuz the first few passes were coolant free. Boss was pissed. Used the diamond wheel to save the tool. Had nightmares about those stupid shaft collars. Still have the melted one in my center console as a reminder of how important the estop is lol.
You tend to learn the lessons hard and fast! I keep a running “lessons learned” document that I add to every time I machine something. Speeds, feeds, setup, mistakes, etc.
@@cskovach yessir. Got another interview as entry level material handler for a big company. Pulling stock and cutting it. Would be a great way to enventually make it to their machinist positions. $. Been out of work since November at my last machinist job. Dropped the price of my parts I sell online to the lowest I’ll go. Times are rough. Wish me luck.
@@durangotang1681 its funny. Some guys seem to be busier than they’ve ever been and others can’t find work to save their life. It’s tough sledding out there for sure. Best of luck man
