Re: Team 330 got a new lathe

seriously you guys build those great bots without a lathe? Major Props. Makes my 1920 belt drive logan lathe seem downright convenient.

Hey if you guys go to the IRI, let me know, I will see if I can get you into the 19th century for 2010.

They were holding the trigger of the drill. In retrospect, duct tape would have been better, but common sense isn't so common after midnight.

OSHA has done a lot of studies. Accident rates double after 8 hours of work, and I think they double again every 2 hours after that. By midnight, I am surprised the part was not in the vice and a guy was running around it with a file...

Wait. You have a vise and a belt sander in your shop? Holy crow!

We just got our first vise this year.

This is what makes your team that much more impressive.
You folks should win the KISS award year after year if there was such an award.

When I saw the thread title, I just assumed you meant Mr. Drigg's other hand.

Man, I have no right to brag anymore. We have a ton of lathes just laying around. Two that work and 3 that almost work, all they need is new parts. Your bot is one of my favorites year to year.
