No, I just lived in the South for 15 years and knew a bunch of rednecks that would kill armadillos while out hunting anything that moved, so it inevitably turned up on a grill at some point at a party I was drinking at.

It takes 3-20 years to show up and you get 6-12 months of antibiotics which will gently caress up your gut for who knows how long. I think I'll just avoid them, thanks.

Do you guys manufacture only brass valves, or is that used for other stuff, too?

Mainly brass, but a little of most other common "metals" as well. Quite a bit of aluminum, actually. This machine will be used exclusively for brass though.

you and me both. No problem at all. Glad you appreciate it! It's what I do and not too many people I'm friends with understand it, so here we are...

So my work bought a little machine. It's been a long time coming...

:words:


And for reference this is what it does.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjL9ToCpMko
Ours is much larger/newer model(G397 whatever the gently caress that means) of that same machine. It was custom built and took over two years from purchase to delivery to get. Covid may have slowed that down a bit.


Long story short it's a 5-axis rotary transfer machine that will load, fully machine, deburr, wash, unload, and pack Brass CGA valves in ~ 6 seconds. All of that for the low low starting cost of 3.5million dollars.


Since this turned into such a long post I will stop here with it. I can post more once it's fully assembled and/or put it all in thread of it's own if anyone is interested.



I started a thread in DIY about all this if you all want to follow along over there.

Well, it's not like it was every day eatin' for me. It was something you'd find on a grill at a place owned by a guy with 2 first names with a pepsi machine full of bud light. It was always at some bigger redneck to-do where the other options were things like squirrel, rabbit, chicken slaughtered that day, venison from a deer shot out of season, a gator tail brought up from Florida, every kind of fish from the pond, and a few dozen people eating all of it while drinking lovely beer. I don't think I knew about the leprosy link until after I had been to a few of those and tried everything.

I've never put a lot of worry into my health, smoke like a chimney, eat junk, yet somehow I'm in better shape than the rest of my family, and the only one not diabetic (2 type 1s, 2 type 2s, and me). It's gonna catch up someday and take me out before the adult diaper days, but I enjoy the irony of my lab numbers coming back normal while I just dive head first into bad ideas.

"The disaster had one benefit. The Dolgarrog flood and the failure of the Skelmorlie dam in Scotland, which had killed five earlier that same year, provided the impetus for the 1930 Reservoirs (Safety Provisions) Act, which laid down such basic rules as the requirement that a qualified civil engineer must supervise the construction of any large dam and that any dam holding back more than 22.7 million litres of water should be subjected to a thorough inspection once every 10 years by an expert in dam design. The sacrifice at Dolgarrog may have saved lives elsewhere."

I'd like to take the walking tour.

He had his vices. Sure i had mine too. We let it go when we could. I can spare a few bucks, deal with it later. Maybe next time he’d spot me. And it worked and we did great for thirteen years and two months.

I open his Amazon box and found a Yost Vises 455 5.5" Heavy-Duty Utility Combination Pipe and Bench Vise. Needless to say I will be staying with my sister in Colorado Springs, so if anyone is back let’s get the crew together!!!!
