This is an abrasive disk, rotating at 1500 rpm. When I shine my flashlight at it, it carries the glow with it, approximately halfway around the disk. What am I seeing happen here?

We also use emery paper to smooth out rough surface finishes on machined parts. None of my tools but some of the tools the other guys have in the shop use little Ruby beads as reference surfaces. Our wire EDM also uses Ruby for some critical parts.
You've been subscribed to machine facts, strap in it's a bumpy ride
You. I like you.
Fun fact, machinists do not have friends. Only mortal and natural enemies.
So... night shift?
Well. SOMEONE'S gotta pick up day shifts mess!
Is there a machining community active somewhere on lemmy (yet)? I only dabble, but I like to sneak peaks at real folks fucking up, err, showing off their projects.

Not super active but we got shit to do
Ok that's a lie but like we gotta LOOK like we got shit to do
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !machinist@sh.itjust.works
Works fine for me on a different instance. Maybe other instances should get their shit together instead?
