What is CNC Milling and How Does It Work?

When digital data, a
computer system, and a computer-aided machine are used in combination with one
another to automate, control and monitor the movements of a specific machine,
this is what computer numerical control is or CNC. This can be used with milling
machines, welders, grinders, lasers, cutters, robots, and many other types of
machines.

CNC milling,
specifically, performs the action of cutting through the use of a cylindrical
cutting tool that rotates on multiple axes. Generally speaking, a CNC milling
machine will have anywhere from three-five axes, those being on the horizontal,
vertical, and diagonal planes.

These allow specific
shapes, cuts, slots, and holes to be made in the material that manual tooling
techniques are unable to make.

The CNC milling
machine will have a combination of three essential elements which include the
cutting apparatus, a high-speed spinning tool, and an appropriate feed rate.

In order for a part
to get to its finished form, it must start either as a pre-machined part, a
cast or a forging, or be a solid block of material. A program then must be
generated manually or from computer-aided software like CAD/CAM software. The
program design is then translated into the machine’s controls through
customized software codes.

Why is CNC Used for Projects?

The main reason that
CNC milling is used in projects is due to the high production
rate, accuracy and speed advantages that it has over conventional techniques.

Although it may cost
more upfront to buy and operate it actually has lower costs due to the
precision and efficiency it has, resulting in fewer labor hours for operators.
Plus it is used in almost every industry that requires any type of grinding,
drilling, cutting, contouring, milling, shearing, tapping, shaping, welding,
threading, and turning.

Check out artmachining.com to learn more about CNC machining parts services

Advantages of using CNC machining include

Versatility:

it can create virtually any component required, permitting that the design can be created in computer-aided software.

Low Maintenance:

the G-code based
software will automatically update and the only thing that needs to be changed
are the cutting implements at regular intervals. It also only requires light
cleaning.

Uniform Product:

all outputs will
match exactly, ensuring that the prototype comes out to exact specifications.

Reliable Endurance:

they do not need to
stop unless they need repairs or maintenance done to them.

High Production and Scalability:

once the design
specifications have been inputted into the machine, it will consistently output
huge quantities of the design and can be scaled up with design tweaks.

More Capability:

they can produce any
type of shape, texture, and size required.

In addition to the
above, one skilled machinist can operate several different autonomous CNC
milling machines at once, ensuring that there are lower labor costs that can be
passed onto other areas of the business.

Finally, the
machines can work with a wide range of materials including fiberglass,
titanium, wood, aluminum, brass, copper, foam, steel, and even plastic.

ANZAC Day – Nurses of the Great War

ANZAC Day is a big deal to Australians and New
Zealanders.

With a different meaning to so many, it’s usually
regarded as an unnecessary and sad loss of life in a British Empire backed
bloodbath, or it’s the most memorable of losing military conflicts that defined
both countries and shaped their futures.

Remembrance celebrations for the ill-fated campaign at Gallipoli began exactly a year after the event on April 25th 1916 and there have been services every single year since in Australia, New Zealand and anywhere on the planet where Aussies and Kiwis live, serve their country, work or travel.

Anzac Day is important to Australians and New Zealanders

Invocations of what has become the ANZAC Legend generally
only include soldiers experiences, but for the more than 4,000 Australian and
New Zealand nurses who volunteered for active service during World War 1, their
story is rarely heard. This was the first time in the two countries histories
that women worked alongside men as equals – and their work was equally
extraordinary and heroic.

Women of this era had only just recently been given the
right to vote but were still, more often than not, confined to housekeeping so
even signing up for active service was an extremely courageous and bold move
for these amazing and inspiring women.

These ANZAC nurses cared for thousands of casualties in
hospitals all over Europe during the conflict from makeshift facilities on
transport ships, remote islands, in churches and underground to proper
hospitals in the UK and Western Europe. Always at risk of attack from the Axis
of Evil the conditions were often gruelling with sadly depleted medical
supplies, lack of fresh running water, rudimentary equipment and an endless
stream of sick and wounded soldiers from all of the allied countries. They performed
their duties with the utmost respect, courage and tenacity and indeed,
thousands would’ve died if not for the ANZAC nurses. The hospital on Lemnos
during the Gallipoli Campaign itself records 7400 patients of which only 143
died, a testament to the will and skill of these incredible ANZACS.

Upon their return to their homes in Australia and New
Zealand many nurses of World War 1 received little to no financial benefits,
little to no recognition and most shockingly, were seemingly omitted from
yearly ANZAC
Day
Commemorations. Many soldiers however, remembered, and the
contributions the nurses (and other women) made to the war effort for the
ANZACS is thankfully, now also remembered each year as well as the service
given by all women in the Great War and in every subsequent conflict where
ANZACS have been present.

LEST WE FORGET!

information regarding the Gallipoli Dawn Service

La Tomatina – The World’s Messiest Food Fight…

La Tomatina always takes place on the last
Wednesday of August in the sleepy village of Bunol some 40kms west of Spain’s
third largest city, Valencia.

This is an EPIC food fight of proportions
you just won’t believe, with seven trucks dumping over 200,000 pounds worth of
ripe tomatoes into the streets for a food war that has to be experienced to be
believed.

Here we cover our top tips for surviving intact, getting the most out of your tomato battle day, and enjoying the festival to its fullest potential.

La Tomatina tomato throwing tours
  • Photography – If you do plan on bringing a camera you need to adhere to a few of the councils guidelines. No tripods, no selfie-sticks and no massive cameras will be permitted in without first gaining permission from the Bunol Council. With phones and smaller cameras for picture and video purposes make sure they are either waterproof, or are in a waterproof container. Even something as ordinary as a plastic sandwich bag can ensure your device is not totally wrecked at the end of the tomato battle.
  • Accommodation – If you are planning on staying in Bunol itself options are very limited so it is best to book well in advance. Most revellers stay in nearby Valencia where there are thousands of accommodation options and plenty more sights and activities to see and get involved with.
  • Clothing/Protection – If you plan on getting into the thick of the action then the clothes that you wear for the tomato fight will be destroyed, you will throw them away, that’s for certain. Make sure you take a change of clothing with you to Bunol and keep in mind that there are no changing rooms so it’s behind a car, rubbish bin or building that you’ll be doing a quick change. Goggles can be a good idea for keeping tomato juice (acid) out of the eyes although you are forever cleaning them. A peaked baseball cap is the best bet in our opinion for protection of the face and eyes. Loose fitting clothing and footwear should be avoided.
  • Tickets – Again, you must get these well in advance through a company such as La Tomatina Tours as they do sell out and there is a 20,000 maximum allocation.
  • Times – The first actual event on the day of La Tomatina is the “Palo-Jabón” where a giant pole is covered with soap/grease and people attempt to climb the pole to reach a hanging slab of ham at the top. Often hilarious to watch. This starts from about 8am in the morning with the tomato fight kicking off around 11am. Please note there are NO EXACT starting times for either of the events. The tomato fight lasts only an hour and a half at most.
  • The Tomatoes – You must crush the tomato in your hand before throwing them as they can do serious damage to someone’s eye otherwise. Do not under any circumstances rip peoples clothing, throw projectiles other than tomatoes, or argue with officials as those are the easiest paths to ejection from the event.
  • After – The best way to clean yourself after the event is to head down to the local river (all roads downhill lead to the river) where the council has erected twenty or so temporary showers. You can also find temporary showers at the train station although these are usually far more crowded. If the showers are full you can always just jump in the river.
  • More – Most importantly enjoy yourself and have fun, respect other revellers and give assistance where required to anyone in any pain or difficulty. La Tomatina is an event for all experience and to enjoy, not just for your enjoyment.
La Tomatina tomato throwing photos and details

Well there we have it, an abridged survival
guide that’ll certainly get you through the day, but like all events we cover there are
plenty of websites out there who provide detailed information on the event with
the highly recommended La Tomatina Tours among the best to check-out for
full La Tomatina event disclosure, day trips and
hotel tour options.

Three Carpet Cleaning Secrets to Keep Your Carpet Looking It’s Best

Keeping your carpets clean can be a rather arduous process –
especially if you have kids running around. They sometimes create more mess
than the family dog! So, we at thought we’d offer our top tips on how to keep
your carpets clean.

Stain on the Carpet? Dab not Rub…

It can be very tempting to try and rub stains to try and get
them out when you are carpet
cleaning
, but this should be avoided at all costs. We would recommend that
you dab stains with a suitable cleaning solution. Also, you need to make sure
that the cloth you use is clean. Blotting is able to put just a little amount
of pressure on the stain to soak it up. If you do the opposite and rub, it moves
the stain particles around into the fibres of the carpet, making the stain
worse. For the best effect, make sure that you dab from the outer perimeter of
the stain before moving inwards. If you do it the opposite way, you can spread
the stain that little bit further.

blotting a stain is much better than rubbing a stain

Is Shaving Cream Good For Cleaning a Stain? Or is This an Urban Myth?

Some people swear by the fact that the best carpet cleaner
for general stains is shaving cream or foam. All you have to do is to apply the
shaving cream directly onto the stain and leave it for around half an hour.
After 30 minutes, you will notice that the cream has set. All you need to do
then is to blot the cream away, and with it should come the stain. It is
recommended that you spray the affected area with a solution of 50% water and
50% vinegar afterwards. You will be surprised by the results! Have you tried
this before? If so, did it work for you?

shaving foam acts as a good stain remover for carpets.

Deep Cleaning Your Carpet

To keep your carpet looking fresh, we would recommend that
you carry out a deep clean of the carpet every 6 months or so. Steam cleaning is
a cleaning procedure that makes use of a cleaning solution under intense pressure
to get right into the fibre of the carpet with the help of water-jet nozzles. The
steam cleaning machine is then able to extract the cleaning solution with all
the dirt that is in the carpet, giving the carpet a new lease of life.

If you would like a deep clean of your carpet, why not
contact Clean Carpets.

Wine Fight – A Battle For the Ages…

The Wine Fight is held on the morning of the 29th of June each year in the historical heart of Rioja just outside the town of Haro (pronounced Aro), and is an exuberant, liberating and totally awesome experience.

Unlike the Running of the
Bulls and San Fermin in Pamplona or the La Tomatina Tomato Festival in Bunol
near Valencia, the Wine Fight is a much more authentic Spanish fiesta with many
locals and fewer tourists.

wine fight girl

From 7.00am in the morning
on a craggy hillside at the foot of the Cliffs of Bilibio boozy revellers begin
to gather. Most have had no sleep having partied all night in the town’s main
square to the many bands and DJ’s that have performed the night away. The
streets of Haro are filled the night before with locals of all ages and you’ll
often see kids and the elderly still there at dawn and heading to the Wine
Fight arm in arm.

With historical roots forged
a millennium ago, this wine throwing fiesta, known locally as the La Batalla
Del Vino (battle of the wine), is quite simply put…Crazy! According to
tradition, Haro had to reclaim its control of the area every year by raising
the town’s flag above the tiny chapel at the top of the cliff. Eventually
pilgrims who were to carry out this ritual, started feasting, drinking and
well…the rest is history as they say!

Combatants make their way the 6kms out of town to the location by foot, bike, horse, tractor, car, scooter, motorcycle, donkey or via the council provided free bus transfers which take you most of the way to the Cliffs of Bilibio. For this insane battle the weapon of choice is vino (wine) and there is no quarter asked and no mercy given once in the thick of the action. Armed with water pistols, buckets, crop sprayers, water bombs, jugs, backpacks, bottles and every other imaginable vessel that can hold liquid the crowd gleefully covers each other in red wine from head to toe.

wine fight crowd

The tradition of San Vino
dictates that everyone wears white clothing adorned with red sashes and scarves
and it’s pretty much guaranteed that by the end of the Wine Fight that there
won’t be any part of your clothing that’s not stained irreversibly red. Young
children can be seen attacking adults and grandparents can be seen dumping
buckets of red wine on very young children. There is no mercy.
Tourists are easily identifiable and simple cannon fodder for the locals and
are guaranteed to be soaked. This Wine Fight is bacchanalia at its core
and the wine god Bacchus himself would be proud to witness this ridiculous,
superfluous but totally energising and invigorating event.

Most tourists attending the Wine Fight
stay at the nearby campsite which is in a brilliant position just outside the
towns centre. An added advantage of staying at the campsite is that the local
buses also depart for the Wine Fight from the campsite, so it makes an ideal
base for tourists to locate themselves.

options and advice on how to prepare check out https://sites.google.com/view/winefight

Are Sennheiser Headphones Really Better Than Bose?

There is a tussle at the top of the headphone market as Sennheiser
and Bose battle to become market leader as we kick off 2019. Sennheiser and
Bose offer truly excellent headphone products that offer a revolutionary sound experience
that other brands of headphone cannot seem to come close to matching, so we
thought we would take a look at both brands latest models to see what we like
and don’t like about each.

Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless Headphones

Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless Headphones

These Sennheiser
headphones make use of the latest Bluetooth 4.2 wireless technology for listening
to music on the go, without any leads. The headphones themselves are
ergonomically designed and lightweight, and even after prolonged usage, the
headphones are comfortable to wear.

For portability,
the headset can be folded up which makes it perfect for travellers who like to
listen to music on the go.

The headphones are
fitted with adaptive noise cancellation technology. We tried the headphones out
on a flight, and we loved the noise cancellation, thanks to the Impedance:Active
490 Ohm/ Passive 46 Ohm noise cancellation system.

It is possible to
control the PXC 550 headphones using voice prompts. Of course, you can also
control them using touch as well if you prefer. We found that NFC pairing was
simple and straight forward.

For phone calls,
the headphones make use of triple microphone array technology which provides
excellent clear calls.

The PXC 550 headphones
from Sennheiser are able to work with “CapTune”. This is the company’s new premium
music player and sound tuning app, so you can adapt the music to exactly how
you want it.

Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series II) Wireless Headphones

Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series II) Wireless Headphones

The latest Bose headphones to hit the market are the QuietComfort
35 (Series II) line. What makes these headphones unique is that they are able
to offer three levels of world-class noise cancellation technology. This makes
them perfect if you want no interruptions while listening and this also makes
them great for travelling.

We loved the way that these headphones were Alexa-enabled,
allowing you to play your favourite music using voice commands. For phone
calls, the QuietComfort 35 headphones use a noise-rejecting dual-microphone
system, which makes your voice transmit to the receiver without any background
noise. You will certainly notice the difference!

In terms of Bluetooth pairing, this is easy to do. When you
switch the headphones on, it will set this up automatically, so there is no
fiddling around with the headphones themselves to try and pair them with your
device.

On balance, no matter what headphones you buy, you will love
the quality of the sound. For portability, I would recommend Sennheiser. For noise
cancellation, make sure you go with the Bose headphones.
