No auto-load/un-load yet?

There's only 25 hours in a day Chris :hee:

BT: you are not working so you could be the auto-load/unloader!:rotf2:

Salty,
Do you add a belly swivel to your stubbies?

DZ

I think this is faster than a hopper feed on this particular lure. You can do 4-5 a minute on them.

Try doing that for 6 hours straight. I had about 5 bad turns today.

Dennis yes I put a Rosco 150lb in both the 1oz and the 1.5 oz.

That was the first time I've done that with the iphone. I'll flip it sideways next time so the video comes out better. I'll be running these for the next week every day.

Salty,

Man that is CRAZY COOL!!!!

MS

i can see me loosing all my fingers doing that! lol

Thats cheating!! Wow you must have dreams at night. Put on , shape, take off. Next.

Figured out how to do this- use the reverse camera. Don't like sticking a $700 iPhone in there tho eeeee

I count about 17-18 seconds each. Out of the 17 to 18 , the tool is actually cutting wood for about 12 seconds so 5 to 6 seconds to swap pieces.

I did piece work on a lathe for summer and winter vacations in college (United Steel Workers Union) . probably 20 weeks a year total. Some jobs took some skill and were fun. Some were just cranking pieces in and out mindlessly. Worst job was these long ID bores on wire spools. With the big flanges on the ends of the wire spools , you have to open and close the chuck about 8 inches in each direction. You spent more time cranking the chuck wrench than you did cutting steel. I had to do about 30 an hour to make top money so you were cranking like hell all day. compare that to truing up the stamped center holes on big 4 foot dieameter spool ends. the lathe had about a 6 foot swing and it was a 4 jaw. The pieces were so big I had to load them into the chuck using and overhead chain fall. With the 4 jaw you had to true everything up each piece. The rate on that was 4 per hour and 6/hr was the top bonus rate. All this work had to be fairly precise and the finished wire spools were high speed balanced just like when you get new tires. The balance weights were tacked on with a tiny welder.

bout right Saltheart. I think the program time is about 11-12 seconds. Those still have to be sanded but only a 150 touchup so you can really move on those.

All I can say is thank God for ipods.

wow you make it sound so interesting:wall:

Love these vid's of the high tech. stuff, how about one doing a Dartah next time you do a run!!

I could never show the darter machine online. I don't even show 99% of the people who come in my shop. Some things I hold tight and that's one of them. Too much time and money into this.
