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.

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:
