Crank the lathe dial in the direction of the arrow?
lolol,....
That comment is too stupid to even get angry about,...for me, anyway. But I'd pay good money to see him say that to a couple of toolmakers I know.
One I know would get him in a headlock and shave his head for that.
Awe hell you could have learnt CNC, made your life easier being a button monkey.
All you need to remember is that G0 goes fast and G1 goes slow, the rest is simple !
Had to do a quality audit on some V-8 aluminum heads. I was checking a critical area for gas bubbles in the casting. 3" facemill with six diamond tipped inserts, 4500rpm, 220ipm feedrate. Depth of cut was .039" with a total of seven cuts. I'd have to open the doors on the CNC mill after each cut to check for gas bubbles, plot their location and chart size and depth. Machine sounded like a wood chipper. [bleep] can happen quickly at those speeds... 😛
