 Well, I know that I could crash the robot into a large object with even greater precision... but if you mean what could the kids do with it... yeah, they'd probably accomplish something creative and useful! - dtengineering [more] |

Re: For FRC Student Machinists
I got trained on the Lathe today. Tons of fun. have to keep in mind bit angle, feeding speed, headstock and tailstock position, etc. It's great fun. I got to machine a couple pieces of extrusion down to 2.980 +/- .001. Used top-quality dial calipers and machinists squares and everything.
All this machining makes me want to reconsider my career path... I want to be an auto mechanic but dealing with precision measurements and working machines to get good fits and finishes is just way too fun for it's own good. Hell, I broke out my Grizzly catalouge and I got all worked up looking at calipers and mill vices. Now I have to go drink some caffeine and calm down or something. D=
