Awkward setups like this are why Octane Workholding will never get rid of his manual mill. Manual machining will never die. #machining #machinist #machineshop #manualmachinist #bridgeportmill #manufacturing #sketchy

Some of the finest machine tools ever built came from Moore, such as jig bores and jig grinders. Here are a few pictures of the Moore machine shop, inspection/assembly, and an advertisement on the subject of mechanical accuracy. #Machining #CNCMachining #MachineShop #Engineering

Taking on different types of work often starts with having the right equipment. Adding machining or fabrication capabilities can open the door to projects your shop previously had to outsource. #MachineShop #Manufacturing #MetalFabrication #MachineTools

Elo (woman_machinist on Instagram) showing off some beautiful, intricate copper parts she machined. You know it's serious when the parts get the white glove treatment! #Machining #CNCMachining #MachineShop #Manufacturing #Engineering #SkilledTrades #PracticalMachinist

A damaged thread is reworked with a cutting tool. Would you watch the tool path or the thread form first? #Threading #Machining #MachineShop

Chatter during machining can affect surface finish and tool life. Tool condition, workholding, machine rigidity, and cutting parameters are all worth checking when vibration becomes a problem. #MachiningTips #Metalworking #MachineShop #PrecisionMachining

Tool and workpiece reposition together during a five-axis machining pass. Would you check the cut, chips or workholding first? #CNCMachining #Milling #MachineShop

Alec Jolly showing off a very handy mod to do to your milling vises: add some tapped holes to clamp parts down with, either directly in the vise, or to help hold a fragile part down. #Machining #MachineShop #Metalworking #SkilledTrades #PracticalMachinist #manualmachining

The milling cutter keeps working toward a flat or contoured face. Would you check the cut, chips or workholding first? #CNCMachining #Milling #MachineShop

The tool follows the path needed to form a thread on the part. Would you watch the tool path or the thread form first? #Threading #Machining #MachineShop

Digitalization of the #machineshop and true #5axis #simulation!⚙️🖥️ Digitizing #machining processes can provide tremendous value to #manufacturers by increasing📈 efficiency and flexibility as well as reducing📉 costs. Learn how these tools can help:

A continuous milling cut reveals more of the worked surface. Would you check the cut, chips or workholding first? #CNCMachining #Milling #MachineShop

One CNC machine. Three guys trying to figure things out. If you’ve ever worked in a machine shop, you know this scene. Sometimes manufacturing is less about the machines and more about the people around them. Just another day at our workshop in China. #CNCMachining #MachineShop

Ever have a screwy day? 🙃 Hope you all are having a nice and grungy week. #threading #metallathe #machineshop #shoplife #machinist #bigmetallathe #machinistlife

Just another Saturday at our workshop in China. 😄⚙️ Machines running, everyone busy working, and me walking around with my phone again. 😂 A little glimpse of our everyday life. Wishing everyone a great weekend and a Happy Halloween! 🎃👻 #MachineShop #CNCMachining

The cutter follows its programmed path as material is removed. Would you check the cut, chips or workholding first? #CNCMachining #Milling #MachineShop
