@sashakovich Oh, and don't forget, using filleting/rounding endmills has it's own concerns, as do chamfering endmills.
I mean I could go On, here. Before I was a Shaman/Plurality/Gender resource, I was an engineer and CNC machinist, and a general millwright.
So now I'm some kinda bizarre Techpreist.
@sashakovich CNC is easier than you think, it's getting a feel for tool speeds, depths of cut, and feed speeds you can get away with.
Also, Three Flute Endmills are your Friends. Stubby endmills are your Friends. If material can be removed with a Drill, use a Drill. If some chain drilling and corner drilling will save time, and allow for square inside corners, do so.
Also, look up what you can do with masking tape and Superglue, for fixturing.
@sashakovich YESSSSSSS.
Vertical mills are my favorite thing.

@mhoye I keep telling people about Lead and they act like I'm insane or a conspiracy theorist.
No, I'm an engineer. Shit's pure, Dang-nasty Evil.
Gender/furry shit/Dragons be like this
So, there's the dragons who've got huge knockers and hips and a Bad Dragon toy as standard equipment.
Not that kinda dragon. The joke ended up being I'm an understated red fuzzdragon in a world of majestic, big titty hermdragons of every variety.
The Punchline is that I have crazy Rasputin powers. :/ I was really hoping for smol round hermdragon.
Instead I got smoldering shaman hippie-pirate. I'm not gonna fuck with it or anything but Three years ago I was a blobby engineer.
@lemememeringue You're Poly, hyperempathic, and a Pleaser.
Just like, stay away from narcissists and Sociopaths, and other Users and you'll be okay.
re: unabashed request for validation
@fluxom_alt You're still a Valid Artist even if you haven't Arted in years.
The art stays Arted.
@lemememeringue Big Mood. I just end up dating lots of people.
Industry, griping, Boomers
I spent four years of my life working in mil-spec at two different companies as a Temp.
I saw how things were Designed, built, and tested. I've been reading about the 737MAX and Boeing lately.
I can see why the planes crashed. I can see why there's a Coverup. I can see why it's a massive problem.
I've worked these places. They're run by Boomers, staffed by Boomers, and everything Exists just to provide a comfortable, low-stress existence for some of the Worst, most Lazy, ineffective Engineers I've ever known.
All the actual Work is done by Temps, while the Good Old Gang of boomers forms the Core of the department. Nobody Cares about their job, nobody is Driven, and the entire structure of the Company is designed to be as Expensive and Wasteful as possible.
So I'm Really Salty lately. If we ever had to engage in a Real War, we wouldn't be able to scale up production in any meaningful way. And the folks who actually Know what's going on in the company are being Downsized, their positions Eliminated for more Profits, and before you know it...
An entire department is one boomer, a Genx-er, and fifteen Temps who aren't going to get Trained. Seven aren't going to make it a Week, because they don't Already Know how to do the job, and the rest are working Below their pay grade and skill level.
Congrats, that's how we build our highest tech: with underpaid, temp, no benefits labor, all so Useless Fat White Boomers can have a Career.
