jordanlrick This makes me happy knowing I ordered a handguard
meatsweatsmike No 1-2-3 block bolted to the table?
  -  laruetactical @meatsweatsmike ... No, that's a Haas 4th rotary table working both ends of the handguard.
  -  laruetactical @laruetactical ... Has to be suspended in space.
  -  meatsweatsmike @laruetactical I didn't notice the box/rotary at first. Pardon me Mr LaRue, carry on and I will watch from the peanut gallery 😆
  -  laruetactical @meatsweatsmike ... Actually nice to know that what's going on is not so obvious in these videos. I see the video views count is dropping and it could be because, with exception, it's over the audience's head.🤷 2 likes
  -  meatsweatsmike @laruetactical I use an HRT-210C at work everyday so I should have spotted it but I was focused on/admiring the fixture 😁 Your tooling guys do phenomenal work 👍
  -  laruetactical @meatsweatsmike ... Thanks, us Boomers rule the tooling world.

gwerkin88 How many operations does it take to complete a handguard from the raw extrusion?
  -  laruetactical @gwerkin88 ... Depends on what your definition of "operation" is.
  -  gwerkin88 @laruetactical machining operations 1 like
  -  laruetactical @gwerkin88 ... 🤷 using that definition, cause every time it grabs a different cutter and brings on the attack would count. 1 like
formosanarsenal Much faster than a Renishaw.
