400 HP lathe?
Did they say it was a big block or small block?

Did you order yours? Grin

When I was putting my time in as a wire monkey we converted a mill from generator power to the grid.

They had two machines with 500 hp motors...I forget what they did...but logs became something a lot smaller in not much time.

That's really cool.

500hp motors are huge.

The wire runs from the vault to the main panel were 4 parallel runs of 750 kcmil, look it up, about 30 feet long. Each run had 3 conductors. The cuts from the supply house were all wanted to lug around since there were 16 hunks of it. I had them all rolled out in the lot ready for the pull...and the loader needed by...that sucked.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Actually not that far off from reality...



I think I visited that plant when I was in high school, about a hundred years ago. Watching a 3'+ diameter douglas fir peeled down to a 4" core in about 30 seconds was as impressive then as it is now.

Some light milling today.

When the camera shakes, it's because I'm being burned alive by stray chips that are smokin' hot.

Material considerations?

Are you asking why it's used at all?

Some materials and tools require it. Drilling for instance, especially solid carbide drills that flow coolant through the tool itself. It clears chips from the flutes and cools the cutting edge.

Thanks for the education...

I'm not smart enough to differentiate drilling and milling. Grin
