This may be a strange question but I'll ask anyway. Do the orders have a particular smell? (I'm not trying to be weird)

[–] domdanial@reddthat.com 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The... Orders? Do you mean the steel?

[–] Intrama@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Omg, yeah.. what do those pieces all smell like together there??

[–] domdanial@reddthat.com 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

They smell like metal and oil and my fingers..

[–] Intrama@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

This wasn't as satisfying as I'd hoped 😂

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

How bout the flavor??? How's the taste test???

Lmao The flavor of ISO 80 oil and 1014 steel is 👌👌👌👌👌

That is a pretty weird question. But, now I need to know too!

Ready to be made into self sealing stem bolts!

[–] domdanial@reddthat.com 3 points 3 months ago

man that's a lot of bushings!! I'm guessing there for an order? Or are they for a project in house?

[–] domdanial@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago

They are for an in house assembly yeah. We were pretty behind haha

How long did it take you to turn all those?

[–] domdanial@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mm took a shift from setup to finished. I had to proof the program and made some edits along the way.

That’s not bad at all! I’ve never even been near a machine tool in my life so I wouldn’t know though! I’m interested in hobby machining but I’m a long way from even having a workspace, let alone buying my first lathe.
