• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hi Cavman,

Re: Machine porn

I've always said that if I had not become a Mech. Engr. I would have liked to be a machinist.

Back in the mid-1800's, there was sort of an unofficial contest between Germany & the USA as to who was more advanced in technology. The Germans sent a piece of wire over to the USA & said that this was the finest wire ever made by man ( finest being the smallest ). Machinists in the USA drilled a hole in it & sent it back to them.

:yes:

That was fun. ...

Amazing how far we have come since we banged two rocks together....:roflblack::roflblack:
 
I teach how to do that kind of machining at a local technical college. I'll be using this video in my classes.
 
Before I retired from Sidel (not my choice) our division would take the molds and polish them to a mirror finish. The machinist put out such a fine finish we would start with 250 grit sanding paper along with some WD-40. Move up to 400 grit then buff for the finish.

Sidel has half the world's blow mold technology.
 
Yeah, and back in "My Day," we females were only allowed to take Home Economics................Shop class or anything remotely pertaining to a "Male Occupation" was a big NO-NO!!!!! :gaah:
