Babe, you got a Haas? I said I wanted to try CNC, not this Fischer Price Tinker Toy shit.

(I don't actually hate on Haas but I know they're often more light-duty than some other options.)

The VF4 is a fantastic vertical-mill for any and all machinists! Step it up and maybe one day you’ll get yourself a JohnFord!

So a CNC programmer writes how a CNC session in the bed should go?

Ok babe are you a fanuc based controller or a 3d party derivative?

This is very important because of interpolation...

They told me learning is fun

They lied

I had jokes. I still had jokes when I finally figured it out thanks to the comments. I don't need another burner account. If I made my jokes, I would absolutely have another burner account.

I'm not a bad person, I say bad things sometimes. I'm trying to be better.

I find that aluminum is the best medium for trial and error because even though it is somewhat expensive, it's easy on the bits. And that is important regardless of the bulk material costs.

Dude your CNC sessions are totally out of hand if you are having to buying aluminum in bulk. Just get yourself some shibari ropes and a blind fold if you want to take your time and make it an extended session.
