The handle on the left locks the chip in that spindle there (my lingo is probably awful) it holds just barely enough pressure to keep the chip in place while not damaging the edges, and then I zero in the depth and my starting point and turn on the auto feed and let it go

We changed the recess mill starting point bit I was attempting to keep the milling within the inner inlay recess but it was leaving part of the inlay behind and gear needs a nominal size from my understanding so we increased the size a tad to the nearest nominal number

That's awesome work!

Ben's dad helped set me up and showed me some of them and the controls and then let me go on my own. Looking at making some quarters for our new cash set

Thanks, took me about 45 mins to do 20 chips, I think as I get more comfortable it shouldnt take as long
Very nice work Brie. Would love to see what you could do with the edges. @liftapints Nevada Lodge $1s come to mind.
OP
OP
Not ready for that yet
Ben's not really on board for that, but theres a few I've thought would like nice with a little touch up
When you get more comfortable I’d be willing to donate a few towards the experiment. Would definitely be interesting to see if it could be done.Not ready for that yet

I would imagine we could come up with something

Update: the milled chips all have a diameter ranging 1.12in to 1.18in
And a depth of .4mm to .7mm
I'm going to back the depth off a hair when I do the rest of them.

More like already obese women getting what they want... (no I am not referring to Brie) then a month from now they will want to know why their size 26 or 30 Jean's won't fit anymore.
Everyone in that company complains they never get raises.... but then sign a f**king petition to have a f**king slushie machine installed in a machinist shop. Literally makes me sick!!

As a long time fighter for worker's rights, I can say without a doubt - way too many workers dont deserve what they get.

My company unfortunately is riddled with privileged employees who do not meet the bar when it comes to standards or productivity. They do the minimum and push the extra work to the next person

I saw a lot of that when I worked in a print shop. I helped to form a union, then placed my head on the chopping block numerous times to back employees that were wronged.
I still love unions for what they are meant to do (prevent income inequality, keep workers safe, prevent indentured servitude), but hate them for what most people use them for (a crutch to do less).
And c'mon, Cherry and Pina Colada?

Most people dont care here whether they do right or wrong, and the majority of the "upper staff" is interwebbed friends and family members... its messy lolI saw a lot of that when I worked in a print shop.

Ben's company is unionized, it has its pros and cons, I see and hear about alot of people with his matched pay rate with half the knowledge and work ethic. It's somewhat depressing
Also, I dont consume slushies so no hard feelings on the flavors lol

I can’t help but love it! It’s like the movie Idiocracy (LOVE me some Dak). I literally can’t imagine a worse thing in the workplace. Most companies are pushing towards healthy, even subsiding certain lunches and meals just so that fresh and healthy is cheaper for employees.
Yet here we have a literal sugar machine running at 5 am. Which forget the health stuff, do what you want. But this very literally will impact the attitudes and work being done as they all sugar crash every afternoon and then fix it by having another and another (as someone who doesn’t get enough sleep, would have at least one by lunch, and would totally crash myself).
No idea bout machinists shops, but I’d think you’d want folks alert and such.

It literally blows my mind that with enough bitching they can get whatever they want, but you work hard and do consistent quality work and have to fight to death for a .50 raise

Welcome to the world. The way Ben described the ladies and workforce, it seems like you might have a lot of long term or lifers there? Big jump going from horses to a shop that has both family and lifers intermixed, good mix for apathy. The plan to stay there awhile, learn, and jump ship? Or happy enough to stick around?It literally blows my mind that with enough bitching they can get whatever they want, but you work hard and do consistent quality work and have to fight to death for a .50 raise
I’ve always worked small business, but wanted to see what working in a global big billion business was like. Pretty much lived the movie “Office Space” shot for shot. I think everyone probably has a story, but yeah it’s not fun realizing how little of the world has motivation or the ability to critically think, let alone both.
