SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, FORGING AHEAD. "I've got a FEVER, and the only prescription is more cowbell" Some may recognize this citation from a SNL (Saturday Night Live) skit with the actors Will Ferrel and Christopher Walken. Was it also a metaphor about the physical characteristics of alloys in musical instruments, and their accurate elemental composition? Observing this nice cross picture closely, there seems to be spots with different levels of radiation (color clue). Would this come from an inhomogeneous distribution, or perhaps a change in elemental composition? Our human reflexes are geared towards not touching intensely glowing pieces. Would you say the cross on the top is the hotter one? But what happens when the glow is absent? Like in the classic restaurant behavior following the meal serving with the note: "watch it, your plate is very hot". But of course we still mindlessly reposition it... In an indirect spinoff, there are scientific instrumentation developments that are aimed at obtaining "more cowbell". Many are "light decomposition" tricks. Hence my saying: "Spectroscopy Rules!" The goal is always to extract more information about the material being processed (before, during, and after). Would you say that even cowbells' properties are influenced by a few factors, including their elemental composition? All this "Jazz" has made me wonder: How are cowbells made and tested?

Micro injection molding is what I LOVE! See this TRIPLE overmolded accessory. This one was a challenge, but they run so smooth! Penny for scale. #injectionmolding #cncmachining #machinist

😖 Pockets, walls, bosses, complex detailing, holes, slots, threads and more. These are key considerations when designing for machining 🙂. 💡 This page is dedicated to helping you understand the key principles of part design for CNC machining. https://lnkd.in/edYJQ4U9

When getting #plasticinjectionmoldtooling made it pays NOT to use a supplier who promises lower prices and faster delivery than their competitors. The tooling often comes with some pretty unwelcome issues, resulting in costly rework being needed well before it reaches its typical lifetime. 😞 #tooling #toolingdefects #plasticparts #injectionmolding

⭐ I break down "CNC tooling" into three categories: 🪚 Consumable: inserts, cutting tools, taps, etc. They have a lifespan and you toss them out or recycle when done. 🔒 Semi-Durable: lathe insert holders, indexable facemill bodies, collets, retention knobs, CAT40 endmill holders, etc. I think this is the one that most people aren't talking about. These things do have a service life. Yes, you can replace the insert shim seat but insert pockets wear out and endmill holders will bell-mouth. They may or may not survive a machine crash. Don't overspend if you don't have to, but keep in mind the drawbacks of generic import items. ⚙️ Durable: Lathe chuck, rotary 4th axis, live tooling units, right angle heads, vises, etc. Most of these are meant to last for years and years and can usually be rebuilt or serviced. Consider these a capital investment that will serve you for many years to come. Don't short yourself on something just because it is expensive up front. It will cost more when you have to buy the correct item again later. 😞 #sales #engineering #oilandgas #oilandgasindustry #manufacturing #aerospace #machining #cnc #aerospacemanufacturing #metalworking #automation #lean #leanmanufacturing #business
