Every machinist's nightmare in one image! Trying to cut stainless steel with subpar tooling is like bringing a plastic spoon to a sword fight. Stainless steel's high chromium content creates a work-hardening effect that absolutely destroys cutting tools, leaving machinists staring in horror as their expensive carbide bits disintegrate after a single pass. The look of existential dread on Squidward's face perfectly captures that moment when you hear the telltale squeal of a dying endmill. Pour one out for all the broken drill bits sacrificed to the stainless steel gods!
