When placements start coming out for shortlisted JETs its very typical that upgraded JETs need to wait a little longer to get their placments. Usually this wait is a week or two but it could be a little longer. This does delay includes JETs who were upgraded right away and not only the ones upgraded in the coming weeks.

I know everyone is getting excited and wants to know everything but just be patient. Spend what time you have between now and departure doing things at home that you have always wanted to do but haven't because it has always been accessible. Spent time with friends and family and document your life. There is time for paperwork and planning but nows the time to live, there wi

Manual guy here who recnetly got back into CAD/CAM and have a program I'm trying to piece together.

I've searched around and haven't found much information on high speed machining. I'm trying tl track down some documentation or rules like max DOC, where to find speeds and feeds etc.

I've been working in fusion and I feel the default values just don't mesh with what I did in school years ago.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in the process of upgrading some tools and have been eyeing up a noga mag base for a while.

Unfortunately, no local company sells them and I'm being forced to order online. I looked up the total heights of the different bases but I can't find any photos of the bases against a good reference like a tape/rule/scale. What I am really interested in is the total height with the articulated arm standing vertically up.

Thanks for your help everyone.

I've been setting up and running large portable machines. After climbing up and down a ladder 50 times a day to check dial indicators and writing flatness reports I'm wondering if there is a better way.

Is there a product on the market that is a wireless (bluetooth, etc.) which can give me readings at set locations instead of one that require you to press a button or always transmit a reading? For example, a dongle that I can attach to the part and when the dial indicator comes by triggers a reading on indicator.

I'm in the market to replace a cheesecloth I received with a cheesemaking kit. Does anyone have any practical advice on what I should be looking at buying? Threadcount? Buttermuslin?

Thanks

Machinist here. I have seen a number of videos about both stations but they always seem to glaze or skip over the machine shops. I have a bunch of questions and I'm hoping some kind soul would be willing to help me out. For context I am considering applying for a winter over position in the next few years.

I understand it is largely manual machines (lathes and mills) but what other equipment do they have? Are the shops largely using carbide or is high speed steel the cutter of choice due to the ability to resharpen? Is there an indexing head for the mill? What type of repair work is done at the south pole on the telescopes (threads? Gears? Pins/shafts?)? Are measuring tools supplied or are

Whenever I make cheese, the one part I hate the most is cleaning the cheesecloth. I generally fold my cheesecloth in half when putting it in a mold because it is so large and accordingly I get cheese curd that ends up between the two layers. In addition, the small bits that get caught in the cloth that is a pain to wash out by hand.

I have been washing the cloth in my sink by running water through the cloth and holding my hand behind it to try and get the bits out. Is there a better way?
