Perhaps so the universe has a way to make it up to us for everything else going on, there is currently an explosion in really neat laser-based tools. You can get a laser welder, or a laser CNC machine, or a laser engraver, or... a laser level. I swear I can almost afford that last one. They want like fifteen dollars for it at the Princess Auto. Sheesh. It's like they expect their core customer to be employed now.

Although lasers are probably centuries old, according to a drinking-machine summary of a wikipedia article I glanced at while trying to kill time in line at the parole office, it's only recently that humanity has figured out how to make them more affordable for the common, workaday asshole. What's the secret to this incredible advancement in inexpensive optical technology? Have a factory in China build them.

As a result of all this trans-national becheapening, the local "maker space" has acquired for themselves a thousand-watt laser welder. Any moron off the street can use it to stitch two pieces of metal together in a way that would make professional welders poop with envy. Which is perfect, if you're a moron off the street and your $89 Princess Auto "Li'l Don't Look Directly At The Spark Junior Welder's Kit" doesn't quite have the zoot to put those spring perches on a rusty, oily Ford 8.8 you got out of that big F150 crash on the side of the highway last winter.

Like you would expect, it (the welder, not the axle) cost about as much as a good used car used to cost, before used cars cost $20,000. Still, that's peanuts if you have several hundred members who are willing to pay to use it to make Star Wars pirate memorabilia and combat robots. I, however, am not willing to pay. In fact, I have to be forced to spend money on just about anything. So I decided to see if I could just walk in there, use the laser welder to do my daily welding, and then bounce without opening my wallet.

Friends: it worked great. After a couple minutes of pushing buttons and adjusting various screens that I wouldn't bothered to have read fully even if they weren't written in Chinese, I was able to fart on a pair of narrowed spring perches that were ideal for my Viscount.

Now, you might think it's suspicious that I was able to roll a 175-pound chunk of cast iron through the middle of a warehouse full of nerds without anyone asking me for my ID, but it's all thanks to another fancy new consumer of inexpensive lasers: the smoke alarm on the ceiling. I set that sucker off with a brick to the "test" button, before walking right in the front door while dressed as a firefighter. Sometimes, rock beats laser.

Golden Double

—————————————————————————

Don Lorenzo x R.femele.

—————————————————————————

Don Lorenzo next to his girlfriend (you — y/n), a woman who shares her passion for money, but who built her empire with effort and intelligence. The scenario mixes romance, luxury, ambition and the vibrant chemistry between two people who not only understand each other, but also feed each other with ambition and power

—————————————————————————

The Italian sun bathed the ancient stone walls around the Ubers' villa, where Don Lorenzo lived temporarily during the Neo Egoist League. The black gate opened slowly, revealing the aggressive roar of a custom engine: a sculptural motorcycle, with a chrome finish and touches of brushed gold in the exhaust details. Piloting, she came - y/n, the woman most requested by luxury automakers in the world.

She took off her helmet, revealing a smile that shone like diamonds. Don Lorenzo was lying on the lounger, shirtless, showing off his golden teeth and muscles drawn as if sculpted under the sun. He smiled - not only because she had arrived, but because that woman was worth gold in every way.

- "This motorcycle was made for an Arab sultan, but I decided that you were going to try it first." - she said, handing the key to him as if she were giving a gift of thirty thousand euros with the naturalness of someone who offers a coffee.

Lorenzo laughed, jumping out of the chair and walking to her, his eyes vibrating with pure pleasure.

- "You turn me on when you talk about engines and absurd figures, okay." - he said, taking the key, but turning his hand to pull it by the waist. - "Tell me, how much did this beauty cost?"

- "More than 500 thousand euros." - he replied with a wink. - "The customer only closes if it is exotic, noisy and unique. Like you."

Don Lorenzo turned her in his arms with ease and kissed her as if he were sealing a billionaire fusion. They were an unlikely couple: he, eccentric, raised on the streets, moved by the hunger for power. She, refined by work, molding unique pieces with precision, selling to millionaires, tycoons and princes. But they had something essential in common: raw ambition and a mutual admiration for those who make their own value.

After the kiss, Lorenzo accompanied her to the garage that she had improvised in the basement of his house - with CNC machines, holographic screens, disassembled V12 engines and hand-sewn leather panels.

- "You're like... the most expensive artist in the world of engines. That's sexy for c****, okay."* - he commented, running his fingers through a steering wheel sewn in genuine Italian leather.

- "And you're the most expensive defender Snuffy has ever fed." - she replied with a malicious smile. - "If you throw your teeth on the market, the gold price plummets."

Lorenzo laughed loudly, taking a gear as if it were a rare jewel. He admired her. And not only for the money. By the way she fought for every penny, how she didn't accept crumbs and made a point of winning in a world dominated by old and rich men.

- "Do you know what I like most about you?" - he asked, approaching. - "You never expected anyone to give you anything. You built your empire... gear by gear. This is more precious than any bank safe."

She leaned her forehead against his, both covered in grease and sweat.

- "And you, Lorenzo... you devour aces and multiply ciphers. But deep down, you just want someone who looks at you and sees more than gold on your teeth. I see."

They spent the night together in the workshop, drinking cheap champagne while finishing the interior of a car tailor-made for a Hollywood actress. And before the day dawned, y/n was already reviewing budgets, and Lorenzo was stretching for another match with the Ubers.

Two worlds. Two empires. Two beasts with a thirst for greatness. United by the desire to win - and by the certainty that, together, they were more valuable than any fortune.

—————————————————————————

– presentation to Ubers players

The Ubers' morning training ended with sweat and exhaustion. The impeccable grass field of the Italian headquarters reflected the brightness of the sun - but nothing overshadowed more than the serious and velvety snoring that cut the silence in the parking lot.

A convoy of three custom vehicles entered like a luxury storm: a Lamborghini Veneno with prismatic paint, an electric motorcycle with an apparent engine illuminated by blue neon, and a completely reformulated retro Ferrari with mirrored armored glass panels.

The players stopd. Most had never seen those models even in international exhibitions. When the Lamborghini door opened upwards, the world seemed to be in slow motion.

With stiletto heels, leather gloves and Cartier sunglasses, you, y/n, went down with a tablet in one hand and a diamond key in the other. Her hair was stuck in an elegant bun with purposely rebellious strands. The dark leather jumpsuit enhanced her silhouette, with a zipper up to the height of the bust. Your expression? Pure calculated coldness with a slight smile of someone who knows it's worth a lot - and charges for it.

Don Lorenzo left the locker room and saw you first. His golden smile shone brighter than Ferrari's mirrored hood.

- "Aaaah... my queen has arrived, okay."

He went to you and held your waist with familiarity.

- "You are in front of the most expensive woman I know. She creates machines that make CEO cry with envy and poor people faint just by seeing it."

You took off your glasses slowly, looking at the other players with naturalness of those who know they have the power in their hand.

- "I brought Lorenzo's order. But Bugatti's details will depend on how much he will pay for overtime. I have a busy schedule to Dubai, Miami and Kyoto."

——————————

Players' Reactions:

Barou, who was usually not impressed by anything, furrowed his eyebrows and approached the personalized motorcycle with visible engine.

- "Is this painting... is it real liquid gold?"

You answered with simplicity, typing on the tablet:

- "Mixture of white gold particles with armored resin. The hood reacts to the heat of the sun and changes its hue. It was ordered by a brand from Dubai... but Lorenzo wanted it first, and paid more."

Barou smiled from the corner, something rare.

- "This woman understands the game."

⸻

Snuffy approached with his hands in his pocket, curious, but calm. He observed the interaction between you two and said:

- "So you're the designer who makes Lorenzo's toys look like works of art... he talks a lot about you."

You tilted your head, smiling.

- "I like to create unique pieces. And he... pays very well."

Don Lorenzo laughed out loud:

- "Do you see? It's not just beauty and brain. She has a business vision, okay!"

⸻

Niko whispered with Aiku:

- "Man... she seems as focused as he is."

Aiku laughed:

- "Is it? They're the most dangerous couple I've ever seen. Her ego is not smaller than his."

——————

You were invited by Snuffy to give a lecture on innovation and entrepreneurial mentality. Some players went to his workshop, located in an ultra-modern shed on the outskirts of Milan. There, they saw their world: holograms of engines in development, parts being tested by mechanical arms, and a concept car that floated a few centimeters from the ground.

Aryu, gaping, said:

- "This woman lives in a fashion science fiction movie."

Niko, short, recorded everything with his cell phone.

And you, at the center of everything, explained while fiddling with the hologram of a supermotor cooling system:

- "Here I create dreams... but I charge for every second. Because my time, as well as my engine, never stops."

Don Lorenzo arrived from behind, hugging you from behind, whispering in your ear:

- "I'm thinking of giving you a ring... studded with the parts of the first car you customized for me. Gold, steel and DNA. How about it?"

You smiled, with your eyes fixed on the engine graphics:

- "Only if the value is compatible with my love. And with my work."

He kissed your shoulder.

- "Always, okay."

Throwback to the beginnings of my costuming journey. Though this armor has since been retired, mainly due to my unfortunate physical growth, I think back on these times fondly. I like to think the time and care I put into my first build shows, but I may be a touch biased.

The completion of this armor lead to a great many things in my life. Some of the most fun I've ever had, some of the best friends I've ever made, and some of the coolest opportunities I never thought I'd have.

In 2016 I was invited to attend a convention in Salt Lake where I met the man himself, big boss Boba Fett, Jeremy Bulloch. While it was a brief (but incredibly cool) opportunity, he wasn't the only hero I got to meet that weekend. While attending a panel for Mark Hamill, I also got a high five from Jason David Frank (RIP). Another man I've loved and respected for as long as I can possibly remember.

While manning the Star Wars Costuming Clubs booth that same year, along with a new friend, we were blown away by a random surprise visit by Michael Rooker. Though I regret missing this opportunity to get a picture, the conversation we had without a massive group of people interrupting him, is all the memory of the event I need. What a genuinely cool guy.

Over the years my armor evolved and grew with me, but continued to open doors I never thought possible. Growing up in the middle of nowhere, no real money to my name, and no opportunities to truly geek out with the people left in my hometown, I never thought that Comic Cons and costume groups would be part of my life. I had followed what the 501st Legion was doing since I was a kid, and was truly blown away when I saw them on tv marching in the Rose Bowl Parade in 2007. Still, I never thought anything like that would exist in Montana. At that point, the Mandalorian Mercs were just starting, so I hadn't even heard of them yet.

By the time I started college, I was made aware of the existence of the MMCC. Sitting in my dorm dreaming that I'd have the money, time, space, skills, etc, to start a build of my own some day. Then one day in 2015, I saw this helmet for sale from Headshot Props, and I knew it was time. I had to make this purchase. I checked my accounts, moved some stuff around, skipped getting groceries for a few weeks, and 2 months later, there it was in all of its glory. Sitting at my doorstep when I got off work, I don't think I had ever been that excited. I took it inside, ripped open the box, knocked off just enough of the sharp edges to put it on without cutting myself, and low and behold... it didn't fit.

Motivation: demolished. Faith: gone.

I was, frustrated, to say the least. I'm the type of person to take setbacks like this extremely personally because of how often it seems like it happens to me. I set it on the shelf and looked at it for a few days. I knew there was nothing I could do about a return because the dimensions were posted, and I measured my head. It should have fit. I didn't take into account the cheeks of the helmet being a tighter spot, and my bigass fivehead just wasn't gonna do it without breaking the helmet. I had to do something though. I sanded the hell out of the inside of the cheeks to the point that you could see light through them, and I could get the helmet on, though it wasn't a pleasant experience. I then took my heat gun, thinking there's no way this will work, heated the resin just enough to push the cheeks out that little bit extra, and I'll be damned. It was just enough. The helmet was still tight, but it fit, and it was back to game on.

The course of the next few months brought on a ton of changes. I was lucky enough to be working at a sign shop at the time I began this journey, and that shop had a seemingly endless supply of foamed PVC board and a flatbed CNC machine. I was able to trace out my armor design and just have it cut right there! Barely even had to trim and sand anything! It was amazing! I started learning skills I never even knew I wanted. Using a heat gun to form shapes, learning to paint, kit bashing parts to make in-universe looking props, it just never seemed to end! Halfway through my build, I moved, but I didn't let that move ruin my motivation. In that tote was a pile of loose parts and a helmet. Within a month of moving into my new place, it was wearable. Rough, but wearable. Around Halloween that year, I had met up with some local guys that were also building armor, and we handed out candy at the Zoo! It was amazing, and I had so much fun. Met some of my future best friends that day.

Over the years of doing local events, I've been humbled on a few occasions. Mostly from people who joined the group later on that have told me their journey started when they saw me at one event or the other. That's such an incredible feeling and honestly makes all the time, effort, money, stress, blood, and love I've put into this build worth it.

If you've stuck with this post this far, I applaud you. You can probably tell I'm not much of a writer and I'm all over the place with no real conclusion to any of it. I'm really just reminiscing. This weekend I will be parting out this original kit, or at least most of it, in order to help new costumers, new friends, get a foothold in their build, and hopefully motivate them to continue.

If you've ever wanted to build a costume, regardless of what fandom it's for, don't let anyone tell you not to do it. Buy it, build it; piece by piece or all it once, it doesn't matter. Just do it. Solid chance you'll never regret it.

... I'd like to push back a little bit on the vision of how society would look if we didn't have injection molded plastics. I agree that it would be more rectangular than it is now, and maybe more sharp. But

In the 1910s, we were pushing the limits of what technology at the time would let us do with casting iron. All of my beautifully curved sewing machines? Cast iron.

We really advanced the ability to stamp thin sheets of metal into compound curves in the '30s and '40s. Look at the difference in car design between a car from 1920 and from 1940 (as much as this is the Ford hating website, Ford is a great example of this). Modern cars are also made of stamped metal and those are not rectangle having machines (with one remarkably bad exception).

We invented bakelite and similar moldable plastics in the '40s.

Household appliances of the '50s were defined in all their swoopy curves by stamped metal and bakelite.

We invented CNC machining at the same time as we invented computers and immediately went to work perfecting it. We now have robots at every scale and cost point to create all sorts of things out of all sorts of materials. A four axis CNC milling machine can make parts that can't be stamped or cast.

The thing that separates these processes from injection molding is that they're slow. They're so fucking slow. Stamped metal is pretty fast, but it still can be pretty slow.

So my guess at what society would look like without injection molding is slower and heavier and with less production excess. More objects would have applied details instead of integral decoration - imagine the amount of money that could be made selling swappable trim packs when the trim is held on with little tabs that go through the shell of the appliance.

But humans love curves. We invented special tools to make making spoons easier. We put curves on the decorative trim in our homes, we go crazy over an arched doorway, we bend wood (which hates that shit!) to make hoops from which to make tools and toys from.

I think a lot about manufacturing processes because they’re the most impressive things humanity has ever done and injection moulding wacks me out the most. I was looking at the toy keyboard I bought a while back and it got me thinking about how much of what we consider to be the look of The Modern Era is down to injection moulding.

I hold that injection moulding is one of the pillars of modern society and technology. Can you imagine a world where you couldn’t use injection moulding. It’d look completely foreign. Like looking into an alien world. When you consider it you have to conclude that injection moulding has shaped our culture as much as the development of the camera or the invention of the piano or the creation of glassblowing. If archaeologists had to name our culture in the style of the Corded Ware culture or the Funnel Beaker culture, we’d be the Injection Moulded Plastic culture.

Injection moulding is how we get, oh, almost every plastic thing you’ve ever seen. The keys on your keyboard are injection moulded. Your phone case is injection moulded. Unless you’ve got a fancy milled metal laptop like a macbook then your laptop’s chassis is mostly injection moulded plastic. Your lightswitches are injection moulded. Plastic water bottles are injection moulded. Injection moulding is how we can produce extremely similar objects at breakneck pace for almost no money.

Now it’s important to rememeber that injection moulding isn’t cheap, or, well, injection moulding is only cheap for mass production. Every single unique piece of plastic needs a mould, and each mould will cost somewhere around thousands to tens of thousands of dollars EACH, depending on how tight the tolerances are and how complex the geometry is. Look at how many unique plastic pieces there are on that keyboard. Each one represents an investment of like $7000 into making this toy that gets sold for about $20, so there’s no way this would get made unless the company had plans to sell literally hundreds of thousands of these things.

(This mould can spit out one chair every 30 seconds and it probably cost twenty thousand dollars to make)

Once you learn to see injection moulding you can’t unsee it. It’s like learning about kerning, or musical intervals, or disability compliant designs, or the pantone colours, or about how many insulator disks are needed on different voltage power lines. You start to see it everywhere, you realise that everything in your life relies upon our ability to jam plastic through a heated screw and into a mould reliably, hundreds of times per day, all day, every day.

Unless you’re wandering alone in the wilderness (and even then, maybe: check your clothing), look around and see if there’s something injection moulded near you. I can tell you the answer, there definitely is. It’s inescapable.

What would a world without injection moulded parts look like? It’d be weird. Everything we think of as cheap and easy to make is suddenly expensive. Complex curves and slopes like you’d find on a one dollar potato peeler now require hours of work to form. Every budget consumer item would be like those cheap sheet metal PC cases that have drawn blood from everyone who build a PC in them. Everything now has the aesthetics of a Sun 3/280 system:

Heck, even this sheet steel cube has a dozen injection moulded parts visible.

All the chunky plastic housing of the 90′s and 2000′s, all the sleek curves of the 2010′s, all the cheap plastic knick-knacks, the plastic toy horses, the snugly-fitting appliance chassis, the stacking plastic chairs. All these things now cost ten times as much and have to be formed from heavy steel, or milled out of chunks of cast plastic, or replaced with formed sheet metal.

Our culture, artistic sensibilities, and sense of value has been irrevocably shaped by our ability to squeeze liquid plastic into a metal die.

Why Top Automakers Trust Forged Components Over Cast Ones

Walk into the heart of any major car manufacturing plant, and you’ll see something that hasn’t changed much over the decades — the trust placed in forged automotive components. These parts, shaped under extreme pressure, are the unsung heroes behind the speed, strength, and reliability of modern vehicles. While casting may seem easier or cheaper on the surface, leading automakers don’t take shortcuts when it comes to performance and safety. So why exactly do top automotive brands stay loyal to forging?

Let’s take a closer look.

It's All About Strength — No Compromises

The roads may look smooth, but what cars go through daily is anything but gentle. Potholes, sudden braking, sharp turns, heavy loads — every bit puts stress on a vehicle’s parts. Forged components handle these pressures far better than their cast counterparts.

Why? Because forging doesn’t just shape metal — it transforms it. When metal is forged, its grain structure is aligned along the shape of the part, giving it enhanced toughness and fatigue resistance. Cast parts, on the other hand, are cooled from a liquid state, which can lead to internal weaknesses like air pockets or cracks.

In simple words, forged parts are like solid muscle. Cast parts? They can sometimes be more like brittle bones.

Safety: The Non-Negotiable

Automakers carry an enormous responsibility. Every car they put on the road must protect the people inside it — and those around it. That’s why critical components like suspension arms, steering knuckles, crankshafts, and connecting rods are almost always forged.

Forging offers a level of reliability and consistency that casting struggles to match. There’s just no room for error in parts that bear the weight of your vehicle at 100 km/h. A cracked casting can lead to a catastrophic failure. But a well-forged component can take punishment and keep going.

It's not just about avoiding failure. It's about building cars people can trust with their lives.

Performance That Speaks for Itself

Have you ever wondered what separates a good car from a great one? One answer lies deep in the mechanics — and forged components are often at the center of it.

Forged parts are typically stronger and lighter. That means better acceleration, improved fuel efficiency, and smoother handling. When every gram and every fraction of a second counts — especially in performance cars or commercial vehicles — automakers turn to forging.

Think of it like this: athletes wear performance gear because it’s engineered to push limits. Forged components are the performance gear of the automotive world.

Long-Term Durability = Lower Costs

Some people look at forging and think, “But it’s more expensive than casting.” That’s true — at first. But here’s the thing: forged parts tend to outlast cast parts by years. They handle stress better, require fewer replacements, and reduce the risk of failure.

In the long run, forged parts save money. For automakers, that means fewer warranty claims. For drivers, it means fewer trips to the mechanic.

It’s a win-win — and in an industry where reputation matters, durability is a currency.

Why Not Just Use Both?

This is a question many newcomers to the industry ask. And yes — there are places where casting makes sense. Interior parts, non-load bearing brackets, decorative elements — in these cases, casting is just fine.

But when it comes to power, motion, and structure? Forging wins. Every. Single. Time.

Automakers have learned this lesson the hard way over the years. Failures in cast components have led to recalls, lawsuits, and damaged trust. That’s why today’s top brands don’t gamble with the parts that matter most.

The Final Word

Choosing forged components isn’t about being flashy or expensive. It’s about responsibility, performance, and trust. The kind of trust automakers build with every mile their vehicles travel — and every life they protect.

When a part has to work, when safety is not optional, when performance is everything — forging is the answer.

As the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), Government of India, continues to tighten safety and quality standards for vehicles, the choice between casting and forging isn’t just technical anymore — it’s a question of accountability. And top automakers are making that choice loud and clear.

Forged, not cast. Every time.

Purchasing used woodworking machinery at auction can be a smart way to save money while acquiring quality equipment. However, without proper budgeting, buyers can easily overspend or underestimate the true cost of ownership. Planning your budget carefully ensures you make informed, cost-effective decisions and avoid surprises after the auction ends.

Determine Your Equipment Needs and Priorities

Before calculating costs, start by identifying the specific types of machinery your woodworking operation requires. Consider both immediate needs and potential future upgrades. Whether you’re looking for a table saw, CNC router, planer, or edge bander, knowing your essential tools will help you avoid impulsive bidding on items that don’t align with your workflow.

Create a priority list of must-have machines and nice-to-have additions. This will allow you to allocate your budget based on business-critical purchases while maintaining flexibility for unexpected deals.

Research Market Prices and Set Limits

To build a realistic budget, research the average selling price for the models you’re interested in. Visit manufacturer websites for new prices and compare listings on auction platforms, used machinery dealers, and classifieds. Understanding typical market value gives you a clear benchmark for determining your maximum bid and evaluating if an auction price truly represents a bargain.

Once you know the fair market value, set a strict bidding limit for each item. Factor in depreciation, condition, age, and brand reputation. Be sure to stick to your limit even in the heat of a competitive auction—overpaying eliminates the financial advantage of buying used.

Account for Buyer’s Premiums and Taxes

Most auctions charge a buyer’s premium, which is an additional fee—typically between 10% to 20%—added to the final bid price. This amount can significantly raise your total cost. Local sales tax may also apply depending on the auction location and your business registration.

When setting your budget, always include these fees so you’re not caught off guard after winning the bid. Auction platforms usually list buyer’s premiums and applicable taxes in the terms and conditions, so review them carefully before participating.

Include Shipping, Rigging, and Setup Costs

Woodworking machines are often large and heavy, requiring special transport arrangements. Budget for freight shipping or local pickup with a suitable vehicle. If a third-party rigging service is needed to disassemble, load, or install the machine, get estimates in advance.

In some cases, you may also need to prepare your workshop with additional wiring, flooring, or ventilation. These setup costs should be included in your total budget so you have a clear picture of the full investment required.

Plan for Repairs and Upgrades

Used machines may need replacement parts, repairs, or maintenance before they’re ready for use. Set aside a portion of your budget for things like new blades, belts, lubricants, or minor repairs. If the machine is older, you may want to upgrade safety features or retrofit it with digital controls.

Conclusion

Budgeting for used woodworking machinery at auction goes far beyond the winning bid. By researching market prices, planning for hidden costs, and sticking to spending limits, you can make confident purchasing decisions that strengthen your workshop without financial strain. A well-planned budget ensures that your auction investment delivers lasting value and functionality.

When I was in school, one of the most popular pastimes was to play cards. Cards are little pieces of, well, cardboard. You use the numbers on the face of them to invoke specific rules of the game, and then depending on your ability to master the game rules and pure luck, you will win or lose the game. Dull, and certainly inferior to working on shitbox automobiles as a way to while away the time. Where things get interesting is the betting.

For whatever reason, our dumb ass ape brains really like it when we risk money to win more money. It's why Wall Street got shut down by the Allthoughts last year, who decided that it was ultimately very inefficient to torture a bunch of stockbrokers in order to make 5.6% returns. Now, with the new model, everyone just gets 5.7% returns, and as long as we don't look too closely, nothing bad will happen to the economy. Some economist will, though, because they want to win a bet.

Playing cards for money is much more exciting than regular cards. When you win a game normally, you just get to make fun of the other people who played with you. Sometimes there's a little paper crown that they stole from Burger King by telling them a child was having a birthday, but this is rare. With money, things change. You get to have a little more money, which you can then spend on something useless like food and housing. It is never enough to, say, buy a sequential-shift all-wheel-drive rally transmission with CNC-machined straight-cut gears, a life-changing car part if there ever was one.

For this reason, I only gamble the objectively correct way: with shitbox cars. Will the jack punch right through the floor of this Datsun? Maybe a snake is hiding in the glovebox. How many of the previous owner's kids peed in this thing? All of these side bets make used-car purchasing exciting, and I have to tell you that, even though I always seem to lose a shitload of money, it is always worth it for the fun of the game.

Each tool has a different shape like square, triangle, or round. The shape depends on the kind of job it needs to do.

What Materials Are Used in CNC Inserts?

These inserts are made from very hard materials. They must handle heat, pressure, and speed. Some common materials are:

Carbide – very strong and long-lasting

Ceramic – used for high-speed cutting

Cermet – mix of metal and ceramic

Diamond-coated – for very smooth finishing

CBN-Cubic Boron Nitride is hard for steel. Variants of cutting inserts are selected with relevance to the specific material to be cut. For example, cutting inserts designed specifically for cutting soft metals such as aluminum will not be the same as for stainless steel.

How Are CNC Inserts Used in India?

In India, the use of these tools is growing every day. Many industries now use CNC machines for fast production. Inserts are used in:

Automobile factories – for making engine parts

Metal workshops – for cutting rods and plates

Railway part suppliers – for shaping heavy parts

Tool rooms – for precision cutting

Aerospace units – where accuracy is most important

Even small businesses now buy insert-based tools. The cost of one insert is less compared to replacing the full tool. So even a small workshop can afford it.

How to Choose the Right CNC Insert?

Choosing the correct insert is very important. Wrong insert can spoil the product or break quickly. Here are some simple tips:

Check the material you want to cut

Know the machine speed and feed rate

Choose the right shape (triangle, square, etc.)

Pick the correct coating (for smooth cuts)

Always buy from a trusted brand

If you are not sure, ask your tool supplier or machine expert. They will guide you.

What Are the Benefits of CNC Inserts?

Let’s look at some key benefits in easy words:

Time Saving – No need to stop the machine for long

Money Saving – Only replace the insert, not full tool

Easy to Use – Just fix and start cutting

High Accuracy – Perfect shape every time

Long Life – Can last many operations

Less Risk – Machine safety improves

Because of all these reasons, people in India are shifting from old tools to insert-based tools.

What Problems Can Come?

Yes, there are some problems too if not used properly:

Wrong insert can break quickly

If not fixed correctly, machine can get damaged

Cheap quality inserts give bad results

Inserts wear out with time and need replacement

To avoid these problems, always follow the manual and get trained before using.
