I handled some (bagged) dry ice blocks last week without gloves on. I was in a hurry to transfer them as and I thought I would be O.K. because of the bags and brief exposure. It turns out I got some very light burns. Nothing visible, but my sensation of touch was funny in places till the next day.

Don’t do as I do, folks.

This week I bought pelletized dry ice. It’s certainly the most visually dynamic commodity I’ve bought.

Not to mention that it’s gasoline in a polyethylene IBC.

e: If that’s a thousand‐litre tank, it’s like seventeen hundred pounds of gasoline, plus the weight of the tank itself at one fifty or so. The trailer will be overloaded, but it’s the least of the worries here.

Oh yeah, we were at maybe .01mr/hr at the highest point running a 240kV xray. The ir sources (90 to 150 ci) didn't even measure above background, even when we had 2.

The amount of effort and the size of the tooling makes it clear that's intentional, but everything I know about machining says that's a terrible idea.

The thing is, I don't actually know all that much. I've worked with machinists, and got along relatively well for an engineer, but all that means is that they didn't have to point out too many dumb ideas I had.

They didn't even shut down the pipeline. They shut down the business side of the network. So Colonial can't bill people. But people around here are freaking the gently caress out. As per the boomer in my life, our local neighborhood group is panicking that the pipeline might run under their house. And terrorists will use it to blow up their house. It's making the local nut jobs go wackier.

That's a shaper, and a fairly heavy duty one at that. Looks to me like it's being used totally correctly: you have a big cutting tool that you run across the workpiece, retract it, feed in a few thousandths of an inch, and repeat. You can make some pretty decent surfaces on it.

They're basically obsolete at this point just because they're so slow, but there are still some around and they're basically bulletproof, so hey may as well keep it around. It's OSHA as all hell since there's no guarding, but let's be real here: everything back then lacked guarding.

Tooling for shapers is also extremely cheap compared to mills, but that is probably the sole advantage they still have. Abom79 has a big appreciation for the old machines and a bunch of videos about learning how to run them and the old shop tricks and techniques that have been mostly lost.

Oh man, my favorite channel to accidentally fall asleep.to after work.

*krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkk* *PING!*

shapers can deliver a superior surface finish and flatness, and for cutting key ways and stuff they can be quicker and more accurate, without risking your endmill, plus unique profiles that you can grind into the tools.

Generally they're less versatile and much heavier, for sure, that's why they've generally gone extinct, especially in the era of affordable carbide tooling. Awesome watching them make big chips for sure though.

“Here’s the United rentals number to get a scissor lift delivered and our account to charge it to. Have fun!”

The only time I caused an issue was getting a 40ft scissor lift into a store because the ceiling was stupid high, and managed to knock the sliding glass door off its tracks.

It wasn’t until many years later at a different job that anyone gave a poo poo about certs, PPE, or whatever, and that was only because I was driving a 40ft boom lift inside the warehouse and the head of HR managed to walk by right then. Cmon man, I clearly knew what the gently caress I was doing.

Shapers still are the best for removing scaly hard surfaces fast, but that's really it.

A place I worked at years ago had a shaper for smoothing up stuff that came out of our foundry. It was not uncommon to see chips shaped like a 6" diameter spring by a foot long. I think it was from a .2" depth of cut x 1" deep. The scariest part was hearing them sizzle as they flew through the air. :frogout:
