Slash Through Time Constraints: Cutting and Grinding Discs to the Rescue!

Feeling the time crunch on your next metalworking or construction project? Every tick of the clock translates to shrinking deadlines and rising costs. At Supra Industries, your trusted Cutting and Grinding Discs Supplier, we understand the pressure. That's why we offer a premier line of these workday warriors, designed to help you conquer your workload faster and stay on budget.

Here's how these versatile tools can transform your work from time-consuming struggle to efficient victory:

1. Banish Downtime:

Traditional cutting methods like reciprocating saws and hacksaws force constant blade changes, disrupting your workflow and stealing precious minutes. Cutting discs, however, boast impressive endurance. They can power through substantial amounts of material before needing a replacement. This translates to less downtime, a smoother operation, and projects that hit the finish line on time.

2. Multi-Material Masters:

Many cutting and grinding discs are the ultimate material ninjas. Conquer a variety of materials, from metal and concrete to even tile, all with a single disc. This eliminates the need for a cluttered toolbox overflowing with specialized tools and blades, saving you time and simplifying your setup.

3. Clean Cuts, Minimal Cleanup:

High-performance cutting discs deliver clean, precise cuts with minimal burrs or imperfections. This translates to less time spent on additional finishing tasks like filing or sanding, saving you both effort and time. The fast cutting action also minimizes heat generation, preventing material warping and ensuring professional-looking results.

4. Supercharge Your Material Removal:

Compared to hand tools, cutting and grinding discs offer a dramatic boost in material removal rate. This is a game-changer when tackling thick materials or making multiple cuts. By powering through tasks quickly, you can complete projects faster and free up your team to focus on other priorities.

5. Prioritize Safety, Not Accidents:

When used properly with appropriate safety gear, cutting and grinding discs offer a safer alternative to some traditional cutting methods. For example, using a cutting disc eliminates the need for open flames associated with torch cutting, a potential safety hazard. Additionally, the controlled nature of disc cutting reduces the risk of accidental slips or injuries.

Finding Your Perfect Match:

To maximize the time-saving and cost-cutting benefits of cutting and grinding discs, choosing the right disc for the job is essential. At Supra Industries, we offer a vast selection of discs designed for specific materials and applications. Our knowledgeable staff is here to guide you towards the perfect disc to ensure optimal performance and prioritize safety.

Quality is an Investment:

While cheaper cutting and grinding discs might seem tempting at first glance, they often wear out faster and deliver subpar performance. This translates to more frequent disc changes, slower cutting speeds, and ultimately, higher overall costs. By investing in high-quality discs from Supra Industries, you're guaranteed a product that lasts longer, performs better, and saves you money in the long run.

The Final Score:

Cutting and grinding discs are a game-changer for any metalworking or construction professional. They offer a multitude of benefits that can significantly improve efficiency, save you time and money, and contribute to a safer work environment.

My X2 Finally Came!

I’ve been waiting so long for it to come. I was super excited that it did companion mode right out of the box. It came with the little handle thing but I took it off so it would fit in my custom mount and I put the handle on my MP2 which is fitting because hilariously it came with an MP2 name plate. My MP2 ran software version G the X2 runs software version J and it was manufactured in 2012 which makes it the newest monitor I own although the MP50 runs the most recent software version in my fleet with version L. I was totally surprised that it came with a battery, the eBay listing didn’t say it came with one. That’s great because the winner of the MP2 when I give it away will get a battery with it. The really cool thing is that my MP50 can only display 4 waves so the X2 gives me another 3 waves to display. Right now they I have it setup so that it displays the 1, 3 and aVR waves. When I get the microstream CO2 module I’ll probably have the MP50 display the primary ECG lead, pleth, resp, and CO2, and the X2 will display V lead (secondary lead) I lead and III lead waves. I think my next upgrade is gonna be an SSR telemetry module so that I can use the Intellivue remote wirelessly and I can use wireless telemetry ECG modules which would be fantastic because that means I can get up from bed and still track ECG.

A lot of this stuff is so expensive though, I think I’m gonna sell a couple things I inherited from my grandfather that I’m never gonna use. When he was working for HP and even after he went into business for himself he specialized in grinding glass, ceramic, and silicon. He was one of the only people that specialized in that type of work in all of Silicon Valley at the time. To grind those materials it requires diamond tooling so I have thousands of dollars worth of diamond grinding wheels I’m never gonna use. I’ve got a couple made by Norton that are worth about $800 each so might sell 1 or 2 to buy an MX series monitor and some of the other stuff I want. Because I have all the rack modules and everything if I buy an MX series monitor I’ll buy an MX700 or MX800.

My recorder module and temp module come on Friday so that will be another thing I’m excited to play with.

Is there any production art of Gothel and Cassandra’s cottage? The layout of it feels so confusing and I can’t find any concept art for it aside from storyboards

I haven't seen any, sorry.

Looking at screencaps, though, it doesn't really confuse me at all. It's a two-room cottage with the door leading into the main living space, where the fireplace and window are (as well as the changing screen).

On the other side of the cottage, behind the partial wall, is the sleeping area.

And that's pretty much all there is to it.

I mean, there's also the passage in the back that's revealed in "A Tale of Two Sisters," but that honestly looks like it was tacked on after the fact, and the original design didn't include it.

My question, though, is what does it need a water wheel for? Water wheels are for creating power, often in a mill, smith, grinding wood into pulp for papermaking, machining, ore crushing, and pounding fiber for use in cloth manufacturing. This is just a tiny cottage with no obvious manufacturing attached to it.

I may have read Wishing on Space Hardware a while ago, but I’m still absolutely floored by how good a writing decision it was on your part to get rid of the Ahab production facilities! Like yes that’ll change the entire solar system unpredictably AND weaken Gjallarhorn! A N D your characterization for Almeria was perfect for that decision!!!

:D

[Spoilers for WoSH and Iron-Blooded Orphans in general to follow; I'm not especially fussed about people knowing what's coming but if you want to go in blind to my fics, please stop here.]

I can't remember when I settled on that as the big plan. It must have begun brewing while I was writing A Handful of Rusted Petals, though the exact shape of the plot only properly took shape with The Ares Affair. Probably the wheels started turning as soon as I learned the peripheral detail that Gjallarhorn controls manufacture of the series' resident 'magic physics' black boxes.

Because while it's never relevant and Iron-Blooded Orphans never positions Gjallarhorn as something to be destroyed (we're arguing over who gets to run the armed wing of the empire, here), there is something tempting about realising their power is resting on an economic lynchpin like that. Even within the narrow sliver of the world we get to see, it's clear Ahab reactors are vital to space-faring society and an Earth reliant on space-based manufacturing. It's also clear the blocs aren't passively under Gjallarhorn's thumb -- they have their own agendas that align or conflict with that oversight by turns. The whole thing with mobile suit stockpiles being dusted off in the wake of the Battle of Edmonton indicates a desire to lessen Gjallarhorn's influence. It'd make sense if there was also a movement in favour of taking over the Ariadne Network and the reactor production. Countries don't tend to like it when a third party can just cut off their vital infrastructure, you know?

More importantly, from a writing point of view, it was something I could tie everything else into, giving me a through-line from the stuff I'd established in To Catch a Falling Star (which I wrote first) to where I was going with a grown-up version of Almiria. I could use the stuff with Iverson to establish the technical side, spinning off the detail of the reactors needing to be built close to a star (still not sure certain about the wiki's translation of that, but the idea has good visuals). I could work in the economic angle, in terms of Earth and Jupiter/Teiwaz's relation to it. I could have some Calamity War flashbacks, to explain why the Crucible was the only manufacturing station left. And it gave me the thematic motif of Hati and Skoll, which was fantastic fun to play with.

Above all, though, it allowed me to illustrate exactly how Almiria's rage had manifested, eight years on. Because there's a very real possibility that getting rid of Ahab reactor production means a long-term decline for everyone, and a considerably higher risk it'll create massive short-term instability. Space-travel gets riskier, space-based construction grinds to a stop, humanity can't reach any further, the technological triumphs of the setting are irrevocably altered, and everyone needs to adjust to a new way of living.

Of course this is Ragnarök, not oblivion. I made sure to position pieces of what could come next: Teiwaz's ascendency, the colonies pulling free of Earth, the blocs dismantling existing arrangements, a slow crumbling of Gjallarhorn as they fought to sustain themselves. Things wouldn't change at a stroke, there'd be a lot of mess, it might very well lead to something worse. It wouldn't be hopeless either. There'd be ways to adapt, to survive, to build something better.

But fundamentally, the point was to illustrate where Almira sits on that metric of 'what do you believe and what can you live with?' And the answer is, she decided there was no cost too high for the sake of seeing Gjallarhorn burn. She was going to have her revenge, consequences be damned.

And there is nothing more dangerous than a human being who isn't afraid of the consequences of their actions.

Room 927

The elevator chimes as it opens to the hotel lobby. The flowers are manicured and the fragrance is delicate and sophisticated, albeit manufactured: jasmine, sandalwood, musk.

The wheels of my luggage click across the threshold as I walk in, press “9”, and… wait. The mirrored doors close and I stare at my reflection. My cheeks flush as I take in my sundress, how it clings to my chest. It flares out at the hips, highlighting my hourglass figure and ample curves. It’s short, just on this side of tasteful. I know you’ll love it.

The room key cuts into my hand as I squeeze it tight, like it knows this won’t be the last time this weekend I ride the line between pleasure and pain.

Chimes again. I step onto the landing and head towards the right.

Room 927.

I slide the room key into the door. Seems like minutes go by before it illuminates: green light.

With almost too much gusto, I rip the key card out and push the door open in one swift motion. As I pull my suitcase through the door, I immediately know: something is off. I set my bags aside. The desk agent said you’d checked in already, that you left word you’d be waiting for me. Here. But the curtains are drawn so that the midday sun is completely blocked out. And it’s quiet. Eerily so. I call out your name, feeling my way through the unfamiliar room in the darkness. Again, but with more urgency, “Are you here..?” I turn back for my bag, groping blindly in hope of finding my phone. I feel it in an instant. A presence, quiet breathing. I’m not alone in this hallway. A low, gravelly voice rumbles from the darkness, “Hello, Violette.”

I freeze for an instant before reaching for the door. That instant was long enough. I yelp as your large, warm hand grips my wrist and pulls it away from the door as you close in behind me. Your whole body presses against mine before you bend my arm behind my back, pinning me between you and the door.

Your breath is hot on my neck as your right hand smooths my hair back. You inhale on your way up to my ear, taking in my scent of excitement then fear, and arousal. “You act surprised. I told you I was waiting for you.”

I try to reply but your hand releases my wrist and swiftly moves to my throat, cutting off my words.

You press me against the door, grinding your cock on my ass. “Please,” I manage. Your grip tightens around my neck.

I feel your other hand squeeze my thigh, fingertips digging in hard enough to bruise. Your grip loosens and you trail your fingers up my thigh, your touch surprisingly light. Until you get to my hip. Your fingertips trace the line of my panties, moving to roughly cup my ass. Before I know it, you yank them off, ripping the delicate lace easily and audibly.

Integrating CNC Grinding, Gundrilling, and Steering Machines for Maximum Efficiency

When you run a workshop, your goal is to be as efficient as possible. This means making sure all your machines, like CNC grinding machines, gundrilling machines, and steering machines, work well together. This blog will guide you on how to integrate these machines to maximize workshop efficiency.

Understanding Your Machines

CNC Grinding Machine:

A CNC grinding machine uses a rotating wheel to smooth surfaces. This machine is perfect for creating precise shapes and smooth finishes on metal pieces. It’s controlled by a computer, which means it can produce parts that are consistent and of high quality.

Gundrilling Machine:

Gundrilling machines are designed to drill deep holes with a high degree of accuracy. These machines are key in industries where precision is crucial, such as in the making of molds, dies, and various engineering components.

Steering Machine:

Steering machines shape and finish steering components, ensuring they meet specific design requirements. This is critical in automotive manufacturing, where the precision of steering components can affect vehicle performance and safety.

Steps to Integrate Your Machines

Layout Planning:

Start by planning the layout of your workshop. Place machines that are part of a similar processing line close to each other. For example, materials that are first processed in a CNC grinding machine should have easy access to the gundrilling machine if the next step involves drilling.

Scheduling Software:

Use scheduling software to manage each machine's operation times. This software can help prevent bottlenecks where one machine is waiting for another to finish. It ensures that each machine starts its task at the right time, keeping the workflow smooth and continuous.

Regular Maintenance:

Keep all machines in top condition. Regular maintenance checks can prevent unexpected breakdowns that could slow down the whole production line. Each machine, from the CNC grinder to the steering machine, should have a clear maintenance schedule.

Feedback Loop:

Create a feedback loop where data from the machines' operation is regularly analyzed to find areas for improvement. For example, if the data shows that parts from the CNC grinding machine often need adjustments before gundrilling, it might be time to recalibrate the machine.

Best of 2022

Here it is: my yearly summation of the small labels working through rising costs and punishing manufacturing delays, the artists making music unafraid of chance, and the freaks supporting all of it in spite of the daily consequences of a ruling class increasingly detached from reality. Lots more that deserve accolades from more prestigious publications, and I'm sure they'll get 'em, but these are records that were inseparable from certain points of my year, including now. Yeah, they were all kinda my favorite at one point, and could be again tomorrow, but Kilynn Lunsford is #1 for a reason. Glad to be back at shows, however sparingly, experiencing all the awkward camaraderie and room-silencing/room-flattening performances that come with them. It all feels more necessary than ever. Up and up in a world of lava. Happy New Year, everyone.

Global Wind Day

Global Wind Day is celebrated on June 15 every year. It’s an international event to raise awareness regarding the importance of wind energy and the power it holds to change the world, improve energy systems, and decarbonize economies. Investing in wind energy means spending less money on fossil fuel imports, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint and minimized CO2 for cleaner air on our planet. On this day, we learn not just about how wind power leads to a greener planet, but also about job creation and employment opportunities for many people.

History of Global Wind Day

The history of wind energy as a power source traces back thousands of years. As early as 5,000 B.C., Egyptians had already been using wind power to propel their boats on the Nile River. This was improved upon by the Chinese in 200 B.C. as they invented wind-powered water pumps. Furthermore, people from the Middle East and Persia discovered windmills with woven-reed blades to grind grain with more speed and less manpower, which eventually led to more efficient food production.

It wasn’t until the 1st century A.D. that Heron of Alexandria created the windwheel. According to historians, this was the first recorded wind-driven wheel to power a machine. It included a small windmill that powered a piston that forces air through the organ pipes. According to records, it made a sound like that of a flute.

In the Middle Ages, windmills became a popular device in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq. They were used to pump water and grind sugarcane, which eventually boosted their grist milling industry. This technology was ultimately brought to Northwestern Europe in 1180 and became a popular tool to grind flour — a system that still exists up to date.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, colonists brought windmills to the United States. Homesteaders and ranchers installed thousands of water pumps and small wind-electric generations in Western America.

The possibilities of wind power were further explored due to oil shortages in the 1970s. This forced everyone to find an alternative source of energy to generate electricity. Due to this scarcity, the U.S. federal government installed thousands of wind turbines in California to encourage the use of renewable energy sources. By 2020, the U.S. share of electricity generation via wind power grew to 8.4% — a huge spike compared to the 1990s 1%.

Global Wind Day timeline

Wind energy is cost-effective

With the rise of global warming and other crises, wind energy is one solution to help lessen pollutants. Its long-term effects are advantageous to the new generation and to the generations that will come after.

People need to be proactive in highlighting the benefits of wind energy so that companies, governments, and other industries will adopt this technology as an alternative power source. The only way to make them proactive is to raise awareness. Education is key.

Global Wind Day helps us support the cost-effectiveness of wind energy. It’s one of the lowest-priced energy sources known today, which could potentially lower federal taxes.

(ravensroleplays, FNAF RP, Adventures in Babysitting Verse) How many times now had one of the kids ended up somewhere they weren't supposed to be?!?! Four times?! Five?! Fifty?!

Well, at least there was a good excuse this time, apparently, this location had wanted to borrow 'Foxy' for a few days. So here he was. It was still a good while before midnight, so the ghostly boy took the opportunity to leave his proxy body and do a little exploring. Eyes wide and alert as he took in his surroundings.

The malfunction was one of the worst in a long time.

Perhaps not 'Bite' bad.

But still.

Even so, the animatronics were always expected to have quirks. They were complex machines, a small problem every now and then was considered to be quite normal, manageable. Just a quick trip to Parts and Service. However, what had happened at Pirate's Cove was not little, it was big. The spotlight shined bright, the children were all watching in their eager excitement for the reveal of the fox...and boy, did he.

When those purple-star patterned curtains opened up what greeted the crowd wasn't the usual energetic Foxy, ready to spin a tale of the seas or shout of sharks, treasure, and if Freddy could actually beat him at a sword fight. Instead, the animatronic stood in one firm spot on the small stage twitching, eyes dark and powered off, jaw agape so much that it almost looked like his bottom jaw was going to fall right off. It didn't matter how many times Freddy attempted to prompt the pirate mascot from the main stage, in hopes to snap him out of whatever hit his system-the fox was absolutely busted. The show came to a grinding halt as an announcement sounded off, claiming Foxy wasn't feeling 'well'.

The management was utterly displeased. Parents came to complain of their children getting scared by the sight of Foxy's malfunction, birthdays were cancelled and a whole lot of free merchandise was promised. Not to mention the discount pizza vouchers. What was even worse was the mechanics came to the conclusion that they couldn't fix Foxy, he'd have to be sent back to the manufacturer to be repaired there. So, early the next morning Foxy was wheeled out the back door, placed in a wooden crate, loaded into an unmarked truck and off it went to Fazbear Entertainment Inc.

Freddy had been sworn to by one of the mechanics that Foxy would be back-their Foxy, of course. He just needed some extra care that only the experts on the assembly lines could tend to. But whether the bear truly believed that?

No. No, he didn't.

However, Freddy, Chica and Bonnie all passed their calibration tests, movement tests, dialogue tests and were cleared to do shows.

It had hardly been a week when Foxy-a Foxy-made a reappearance. Being wheeled in just before closing, employees placing the fox back behind the curtains then promptly removing the 'OUT OF ORDER' sign. Then the place was cleaned, stock accounted for, doors locked, leaving the pizzeria to the animal characters until the arrival of the night-guard at midnight.

Freddy was suspicious right off the bat and strictly forbid his bandmates from going near Pirate's Cove until he did his own investigation. And so, it seemed the fox was destined to be alone for the night.

It wasn't long before the crew of bear, bunny and chicken split off. Freddy was geared to the Parts and Service room, his mind set on breaking into the mechanics' desk for any information on the pirate fox, or where his actual friend was, where this...replacement even came from. Bonnie had sat himself down on the edge of the mainstage, guitar in his paws as he plucked at it before giving a rather impressive jam session-one he couldn't dare play during a programmed show. Finally, Chica was already across the dining hall, beelineing for the kitchen, her cupcake perched on her shoulder as she went.

But, like clockwork, the three would meet up on stage an hour or so before twelve for the 'game-plan' against the guard.

...

Foxy's Cove was simple enough for a side stage character, the stage itself being fashioned like the front of a pirate ship. On one of the inner walls was a plethora of children's drawings all depicting the fox, hanging off a rusty nail was a weathered navy blue captain's jacket and on a stool sat a pirate hat with a feather. There were also scratches in the walls from that of a sharp tip of a hook, some deeper than others.
