You could always machine the end to turn it into a really beefy bottle opener Mitch! Bet none of your mates would have one like that!

cheers, Ian

It is G1, not G0!

And turn the rapid down for the first part (don't ask how I know).

Look at the bright side, this will help develop ninja like speed reaching
the E stop and you get a whole weeks worth of cardio in about 10 seconds.

It cut the profile perfectly, just knock the burrs off and your good to go

I like the bottle opener idea lol
I guess what happened is that the classes former tech did this at his former job at a tool holder manufacturing shop

I was no student when I made a "part" that looked a lot like that.
At the time I had about 20 years experience.

Simple pins with a chamfer on both ends. Brain dead, boring work.
Pull the stock out of the collet, touch off the end of the stock and teach +.030"
The program would call up a facing tool, fuzz .030" off the face and cut the front chamfer.
Then a parting tool would call up to cut the back chamfer and part off the finished pin.
The order was for hundreds if these things and complacency set in.

I touched off the end of the stock and quickly punched in the +.030
In my haste, I had not poked the . key hard enough.
The facing tool called up and tried to face the stock off 3" back from the end.

It didn't make............:fan:

hope you got a new pair of shorts after that lol, i have had the parting tool catch the part and snap in my face earlier in the year, and on a different occasion i hardened a piece of cold rolled steel on the lathe :wall:
