After 6:00PM on a weekday, how easily would I be able to find a metered spot to park along that section of 118 Avenue? There are a few metered spots in front of the Sandvik Coromat Bldg., the Industrial Technical Bldg. and Ernest's as well.
Also, I noticed there are a few parking lots around those buildings and was wondering about those as well. I'll pay for my parking. I don't want a ticket and I'll pay a bit more if it means I can be as close to the Sandvik Coromat Bldg. as possible.
Knowing the parking situation as some of you do around those buildings, what would be my options? Thanks for your time and courtesy.
Alright sorry for the title but it’s something I wanted to share. Was listening to a podcast and they were talking about “vector space” and AI self driving cars. I actually understood what they were talking about because of being a machinist.
See when you get into 5 axis(multiaxis) you need vectors. Vectors are your friend. Vectors essentially control the tool axis tilt and it is a lot easier to program with vectors vs. specific angles. The vector contains the entire tool axis control data within the line of code. A set of angles in the code only controls the angle. If a machine has an AC rotary axis set, you can’t run code that you posted for another machine, say a BC head-table machine. With vectors, you CAN run that code because the vector is machine agnostic and the machine will attempt to achieve the called out vector within whatever rotary combinations it has.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_(mathematics_and_physics)
There are other benefits to vectors that I won’t get into, but you can increase the precision (up to a point) by having more decimal places in vector call outs. U2.14 is a lot less precise than U2.1454876. Posts can be edited to output however many decimals you want with vectors and it doesn’t matter what your least units are at the machine…if your machine can only resolve 0.0001”, having a vector of 8 decimal points will still help because actually vectors don’t actually “mean” anything. A vector is merely a representation of an object with a direction ( positive and negative in our case) and a magnitude (value ie 3.14485836). Technically you can calculate actual angles from vectors using a vector calculator on the web. This was actually very important when I was learning this because it helped to visualize the code I was reading. You can also extend vectors to infinity if you really want.
One of the main real world applications to vectors in programming is using lines as tool axis control lines. This is essentially the most basic way to control your tool orientation but it is also very effective.
But this all got me thinking…how to be a better machinist? Research. Asking questions. And yes, math. Learn to learn, and I guarantee it will help your career in ways you wouldn’t expect.
The most recent example I can call from is recently I was needing to turn a lot of inconel 718. So I dove into the Sandvik Workpiece Materials Guide:
https://www.sandvik.coromant.com/en-us/knowledge/materials/pages/workpiece-materials.asp
... keep reading on reddit ➡I posted a while back that I had accepted a new job and was leaving current...now previous job after a little over 10 years. Turned in my notice December 21st. My manager was shocked and upset when I turned in my notice. I was 4th shift lead operator and I knew every machine and every job in our department and filled in any place that was needed without the complaining of most of the other operators. He asked if we could talk again before I left, he wanted to talk to his manager in London (we are in South Carolina US) and to our HR director and come up with an offer to try to compete with the money I had been offered to leave. We haven’t spoke since the day I gave my notice. I showed up today for my last shift and found out that while my badge opened the gate it had already been turned off to open the doors. I got let in and was able to clock in but their decision was clear. No offer was ever made. (Which is what I expected to be honest). As I left at the end of my shift my manager whished me luck and said I could always come me back if I wanted. Thanks, but a place that won’t even try to keep me after over a decade (23-34 years old) won’t get me back. Good riddance. Sandvik Coromant got the last shift they will ever get out of me. I start my new job first thing Monday. Good riddance.
Should it be Allen, Kurt, or Chuck?
Got this awesome rougher from Sandvik and I blew up my first one over improper feeds and speeds. I just guestimated and pushed it too fast.
I looked up Sandviks cutting tool calculator and the recommended S&Fs are crazier than what I used when I blew up the first one.
Does anyone have success with this tool and can toss me some proven speeds and feeds?
Please let me know what you think. I'm just paranoid I'm going to blow this one up too.
Thanks in advance!
Details:
44mm diameter Coromill 790- 5 inserts
3D adaptive milling
I would like to do some heavy roughing with it so I was thinking the below parameters.
.3in axial
1.0in radial
6061 Aluminum.
Recommended S&F from Coromat Calculator was:
Spindle Speed- 8248 RPM
Cutting Feedrate- 1298 in/min
Or..
Surface Speed -3740 ft/min
Feed per tooth - .031 in
Hell naw from me.
I also have a DMU 65 5 axis mill. 18k spindle.
Link to calculator too.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
And boy are my arms legs.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
