Start a 4 week evaluation for new position on Monday. Success will lead to further training and a 25% pay increase next year with an eventual ceiling of just under 40%. Failure means skulking back to the machine shop and token 2-3% annual raises as I'm maxed out here...
Have 2 fat binders to go through this weekend. Generic setup, testing and service manual and the machine's BOM.

They changed my ETA from a solid date (was supposed to be tomorrow) to a nebulous "month of August." Sigh. Getting super duper fucking tired of this shit. I have to cancel window tinting and opti-coat + detail appointments I made. Grrr.

These are ~$100k automated packaging machines that pump out and stack the display boxes like you see at Cosco (Gilette Venus box we did) and trays for fruits like Sun Pacific's Cuties clementine oranges.

Yo @Dimman you know what's funny? The other day on Youtube one of the ads they forced me to watch was from some "affordable titanium" society thing. I was like, that is a hell of an oxymoron. But they were right about steel < Ti.

Oh and Old Greg educated me a while back on where steel > titanium. Stiffness (even stiffness to weight) is titanium's weak point. Which kinda sucks since the idea of titanium suspension links gives me a metallurgy boner...

As long as they're coated with something since it 'smears' (fretting wear is the official term maybe?) against other metals easily. Have to be a bit careful of that when machining it because of that. Other wise it machines similar to 304 stainless. At least the mystery alloy I've played with (6Al/4V I think).

I wonder what MMC does to the fatigue characteristics of aluminum, since aluminum MMC rods are sometimes used. Price would likely be much more reasonable than titanium still. |

Super PITA to machine, I've read. They make one piece conrods on single cylinder dirtbikes with take apart cranks. Need fancy grinders for the holes.
