Break out your Gerstner and get to work. Just remember to wash your hands before and after you go to the bathroom.

For anything tooling related, from belt grinders to Bridgeports to CNC programming.

The /c/ machinists code of conduct

Be polite. You don't have to like the way that someone else drills a hole, but there is absolutely no reason to personally attack, harass or insult another user. If you see this behavior taking place in a thread, please report it so that the moderation team can remove the offending posts.

Posting gory or gruesome pictures is totally fine. Be it machine gore or how you sliced your finger off on a bandsaw. Please tag the Post as NSFW. We are, by default an adult community but plenty of adults are squeamish. Keep the ER pics tagged guys.

If you are looking to post a job opening, our only requirement is that you post the salary or hourly wage of the job posting.

First of a short series of videos about machining a 9 1/2" gearbox shaft. This shaft is very similar to my past Heavy Metal Machining series, so I try and give you guys some different angles, and information I may not have shown before. In this video we get the ends centered, set up in the Pacemaker and begin roughing the shaft down. I have some pretty nice 1/2" metal removal cuts getting the ends turned down.

and Part II here
