Leadfoot350 Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I have a lathe and wanted to know how much I can take off a flywheel to lighten it. I know to take it off on the outer rib on both sides of the magnets but is there any other place on the flywheel to take off material. Someone thought it was 80 thous off the out rib.

boonman Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 advantages? disadvantages? TRY A SEARCH! Blow me. That is a fairly comical statement. In that you go bashing other members. When they are only trying to help. 4.84" is the final O.D. And 2.8" on the center hub. I trust you have a spindle to chuck it on? Then again, I shouldn't be so trusting with someone like yourself. You may be better off than trying to lighten it yourself........ It is an expensive mistake.... And it looks like shit when your done if you don't know PRECISELY what you are doing...... But, don't listen to me, I don't know a damn thing about banshees. I mean, hell man, mines allllllll stock..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, don't listen to me, I don't know a damn thing about banshees. I mean, hell man, mines allllllll stock..... There was no bashing on my part. I was actually just browsing through some of the threads, and when I read this one, I became interested and decided to support the original guys question. Its not like I was bugging anyone. What the hell? Do you remember when your parents would say... if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? I say... if you don't have anything constructive to add to the conversation, move on. I am not a retard, if I desperately needed this information, I would find it. So basically, I was just letting this guy know that he could lick my balls. And as for you, well... I am sorry you have to be so condescending, to people you don't know, over the internet just to make yourself feel intelligent. Not that I care if you like me or know what I am capable of, but just to make you realize that not everyone is as dumb as you are, I just happen to run a CNC shop for a living. So yeah, maybe I should take it somewhere, you know, to save myself from making a mistake. Jackass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say... if you don't have anything constructive to add to the conversation, move on. Blow me. I am sorry you have to be so condescending, to people you don't know, over the internet Jackass Maybe I just enjoy irony too much, but this really made me giggle!

broke Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 advantages? disadvantages? TRY A SEARCH! if you don't have anything constructive to add to the conversation, That is a "constructive" answer. Ignorance is not, not knowing the answer, it's not knowing where to find the answer.

Damn. And by the way, just because they have 'more' post doesnt mean crap. look at the ones they have posted in this thread, they count, yet they have helped no one... well unless you count the entertainment. I have a saying that I love and I am going to share it with you... "you may have been walking a lot longer than me, but that doesnt mean you are any better at it." So anyway, everyone just needs to pull their twisted panties out of thier asses and just have a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Well, in reply to this, I do not hate you. First off, I will get that out of the way. And secondly, I will take your reply apart, and reply to a little of it... Also, the only thing condescending in my reply was Then again, I shouldn't be so trusting with someone like yourself. EVERYTHING else in my reply was informative, and answered any question(s) you asked. There was no bashing on my part. hrmmm.. what about Blow me. Remember that? Seems very not nice to me. I became interested and decided to support the original guys question Yup..... With the "blow me" comment, that was a hell of a support. Its not like I was bugging anyone Again, not bugging anyone? Nope, not at all, by tellign a friend of mine and a well respected member of this forum to "blow me". Nope, that wouldn't bug ANYONE at all. Do you remember when your parents would say... if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? I say... if you don't have anything constructive to add to the conversation, move on I usually do. But in this case, I DID have quite a bit of information to be adding to this conversation, you know, being that I lighten flywheels, and have done countless amounts of them..... I am not a retard, if I desperately needed this information, I would find it. I don't doubt your intelligence, I don't even know you. But, with a comment of telling someone to lick your balls, I may now have doubts....... And as for you, well... I am sorry you have to be so condescending, to people you don't know, over the internet just to make yourself feel intelligent. Not that I care if you like me or know what I am capable of I am not condescending at all. Let's see, I answered Leadfoots question with 4.84" is the final O.D. And 2.8" on the center hub. I trust you have a spindle to chuck it on? And the next lines were directed at you, (Lokar) because you deserved every bit of it. but just to make you realize that not everyone is as dumb as you are, I just happen to run a CNC shop for a living Yup. everyone is as dumb as I am. Let me tell ya. I am truly an idiot in every sense of the word. Such so, in fact, that I Rarely EVER go blabbing on here about what I do, or what I have done. Noone cares about it. And running a CNC shop, perhaps you could whip yourself up a medal. Gold of course, because you deserve it. Cotton Eyed Joe runs his own CNC shop with his Ol' man. He doesn't go around telling people to lick his balls. I think I just heard a commercial on the radio. You know, the Bud Light commercials? So, here's to you Mr. CNC machine shop supervisor; maker of all that can be made out of metal. You do a fine job, and besides, everyone gets to lick your balls........ Yep, wonderful piece.... So yeah, maybe I should take it somewhere, you know, to save myself from making a mistake. Jackass I was only trying to help. YOU on the other hand, did not offer ANYTHING informative to the situation, except a small tidbit on oral sex...... Throw your flywheel in the Mazak, (or whatever machines you have, maybe Haas, they are good machines) and turn away. And grab a tissue, I see you were at the end of your reply. Be sure to put your eye condoms back on. Wouldn't want you to get a chip in the eye...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
