Re: Mistakes

All tools are powered by magic angry noise.

When tools make nice noises, they work great. However, anyone who has worked in a machine shop knows that as soon as you let the angry noises out of tooling, they automagically stop working.

So you can see where this is leading...

I hit a fixturing bolt with a 1/2" carbide end mill at 8000 rpm in a CNC machine once, which made a lot of angry noises as it exploded into thousands of pieces of shrapnel. It was not fun.
