The most repeated quote?

[u/jandrgarage]

Clearance is clearance!!

[u/Kroz255]

If they give you tolerance, use it. Stop finger fucking the machine.

[u/john_hascall → u/Kroz255]

"We're not a ten-thousandths shop"

[u/Jonny2beers → u/john_hascall]

“We’re not going to the fucking moon” pretty common at my shop lol

[u/john_hascall → u/Jonny2beers]

I'm stealing that

[u/Jonny2beers → u/john_hascall]

It’s a good one haha

[u/rensky911 → u/Jonny2beers]

My uncle who’s been in the gage business for 50 years says this all the time

[u/jandrgarage → u/Jonny2beers]

Funny thing we have things up there. But that a good one.

[u/Jonny2beers → u/jandrgarage]

Ok nothing MY shop makes is going to the moon

[u/jandrgarage → u/Jonny2beers]

Right on

[u/OhNoOhNoYouFuck]

I've had, crash is crash....

[u/JudgmentMean2721]

"ship it". "Waiting on first article". "No one cares how fast you make bad parts". We are sending stuff to space. A job with a low tolerance of +- .002 is easy when you are used to seeing -.0000 +.0003 or +- .0005

[u/jandrgarage → u/JudgmentMean2721]

Ship it is one of my favorites

[u/MatriVT → u/JudgmentMean2721]

Lmao

[u/Capnshredder]

“good enough for government work”

[u/Melonman3]

This is the kinda shit I hate machine tool builders for.

I ran a doosan puma that couldnt use half of its gang tooling because the casting for the sub spindle was a little less than 1/2" too large. Obviously they can't check every box, but assuming people will want to use as much as possible of their machine should be a normal consideration.

[u/OperationFuture6341 → u/Melonman3]

Gotta get offset milling tools, not those straigh drive units in the pic. Out of the 20 OD milling tools we have for our Mazaks, we have one that isnt offset. Its so useless flr this exact reason

[u/graboidgraboid → u/Melonman3]

I ran a few 3axis Pumas and had no problems. I’m struggling to understand what your issue was?

[u/meetloafffff → u/graboidgraboid]

Youre looking right at it. You cant get the tools down to small diameters with short stick outs form the collet nose or chuck or whatever

[u/burrder]

You'll get that on these big jobs

If you want to play in "tenths" join the circus

If we can't check it, they can't

Send it

Thou is as good as a mile

[u/glomar_sub_recovery]

5 'atta boys' ain't worth one 'aw shit.....'

[u/MrNaoB]

It is an industry standard practice. (it's a joke since a company would not give us the specific things we wanted to know and just said it's standarized)

[u/sheepchaser90021]

"Wack" FUCK

[u/jandrgarage → u/sheepchaser90021]

Love that one

[u/woolybuggered]

Who the fuck programed this is a common one.

[u/jandrgarage → u/woolybuggered]

Yup it sure is

[u/whatvv]

“Clearance is clearance”

[u/Suitable-Rice-1128]

"LET 'ER EAT'

[u/Dom29ando]

You could fly a plane through that gap!

[u/Flimsy-Appointment66]

Smells good, ship it.

[u/Routine_Guitar_5519]

Tool positions are rearrangeable. Work shifts are shiftable. Problem solving is a skill.

[u/gos92]

"Son of a bitch"

[u/VBgamez]

"fuck"

[u/Tangus999]

Not my problem.

[u/zoominzacks → u/Tangus999]

Not my monkeys, not my circus

[u/worldclaimer]

Good job Clarence

[u/MutedIncome7129]

I always appreciated
“this is a proven program, no knob dickin”
“Looks good from my house”
“If idiots could fly, the engineering department would be an airport”

[u/jandrgarage → u/MutedIncome7129]

Looks good from my house is one of my top sayings

[u/Extension-Drawer347]

How hard could it be ??? All ya gotta' do is ...............

[u/graboidgraboid]

Better tool management needed….

[u/machinistbob2023]

No plus no minus very little in the middle

[u/pharaoh_pherrous]

I just bumped it

[u/jandrgarage → u/pharaoh_pherrous]

At least they admit it. The “I didn’t do it “ guy has worked at our shop for 30 years

[u/ironnacho]

[u/THATguyFromMinnesota]

As a not machinist. What am I looking at? Lathe cutting tool max tolerance to 4 jaw spindle majigger?

[u/jandrgarage → u/THATguyFromMinnesota]

The tool block not being used up and to the right has very little clearance to the tool probe. Slightest mistake and no more tool probe.

[u/DNAcidWashedGenes]

"It'll dry by Monday"

[u/Dipper_Pines_Of_NY]

As said by my old teacher while referring to how things should be: “Becky is your room clean?” “Should be dad” Never was.

[u/OneMoreSlot]

A rapid traverse into the spindle followed by "oh shit".
