Into level EDM for gunsmithing
Señior plastikdreams, I too find myself pondering the new guy's inquiry. Can a good, basic wire edm set up be obtained for $15k? Like the haas TM2 of wire machines. A basic 2 axis machine but with an automatic wire threading feature and maybe a few extras. What costs are associated with...- Freedommachine

Proper bearings for a mill spindle rebuild?
Aww, come on guy... I was very much looking forward to following you on this journey (not sarcasm). We could use some more aggressively enthusiastic members around here. It might help if you gave some more info about the machine you are building, not just the spindle... and definitely share...- Freedommachine

What is you shop's overhead increase in the last year?
I think you make a fair point about industry comparison, I think about that myself from time to time - Not in the context of raising my shop rate though, because I can't. My garage shop is just not worth $100/hr in NE Ohio. I do work on all of my own vehicles though. I almost never take a...- Freedommachine

How will China's new airliner fair?
More importantly; what else are they lying about? Does the Chinese gov lie to their people this much? Or do they just not talk about things they feel people do not need to know? 900,000 people dying in a month sounds like a massive number on it's own. Maybe that's normal when factoring in...- Freedommachine

I keep hearing that this winter will be bad for manufacturing in Europe.
I think you misunderstood. That was a quote from Yuval Harari - a very vocal antihumanist adviser for the World Economic Forum. I would never claim that humans are useless or deserve to be "replaced" by anything. I quoted it because it shows the true nature of the self proclaimed "elites" who...- Freedommachine

Automotive machining question…
^^^this. My 95' wrangler got a small hole in the stainless return line a few years back. I couldn't find a replacement so I split a piece of hose and clamped it with 4 hose clamps. It has not leaked since.- Freedommachine

This is exactly why they continue to spend so recklessly. There should have been multiple market corrections of varying degrees over the last 50 years. A crash is a natural correction, they need to be allowed to happen, "kicking the can" has never worked and literally only makes the situation...- Freedommachine

It is not meant to describe the demeanor of political figures or a nation's leader. It is a proverb on the cyclical nature of human civilization.

Need THREE Rockstar Machinists for Rocket Engine Components
It all depends on what silly rules the bishop of their community decides to enforce.

Where can I go to learn Solidworks and Mastercam? Is fusion 360 any good?
That is where I started as well. Mr Callahan has a good set of video tutorials for beginner users. I still fight my way though mcam and solidworks. It's slow and frustrating, I hate it.

I want to see someone make durable and simple vehicles we can actually buy with cash. Something akin to the old 70's trucks or Bronco / blazer, even CJ7. No leather, GPS, or body sensors. No in dash computer, no wifi, no subscription services, no b.s. Just a nice fuel efficient diesel engine...- Freedommachine
