Your design makes me buy extra material, and then you pay me to mill it away

Material often needs to be larger than the CAD model when cnc milling parts. This allows for easier Workholding and nicer finishes than supplied surface on the material. Armed with this knowledge, how can parts designers avoid the price increase caused by extra grip material.

    On the video timeline @ 6:45, can any one tell me what those ends on the gage blocks set up are called? Referring to the end stop things that he is bouncing the boring head off of and the indicator is on the other side of one of them. I have done some looking around amazon and EBay can’t seem to find them. (I don’t know what they are called.) Also, any one have any brand names that are economical for square gage block set ups, to include the hardware to hold them together? The cherry on top with be an economical kit with all the hardware to hold them with the end stop thingy’s. Adam, your a smart man, learn a lot from you!

    Hello, your videos are great!!! I would like to ask for a video with stress release approach. For example, when you have a block with dimension 200mm*70mm*15mm to make an electrical cover with internal slots, threads etc... the final part should have thickness of 5mm in the most of the surface with an around wall ( 13mm height) with a grove for sealing gasket. This was just an example... I worked in a job like this, and the main issue was the surface flatness, which had 0.2 -0.3mm difference from side to side. I would like a video to sawing as the general approach, how many passes need to have our tools, how many tools (more than one for finishing?) what do we need to consider when we clamp the stock on our vice etc. I would like to learn and about stock tail on lathe because when you release your part, that will run a little out.... Thank you very much!

    If to take trepan cutter and shape its tooth as dovetail, and do a small wobble circle with a radius of undercut - it's possible to get dovetail groove fast. This should be the second operation after making usual threpan cut as a preparatory operation.

    I've ground plenty of acute vees for sheet metal bending. If you dress the bottom of the wheel at a shallower angle than the vee angle you want. The corner will clear and the faces can be ground with the side of the wheel. Then to accurately center I grind the oversized block to the required dimension ensuring the vee is central using a pin & dti. If an acute vee does not need a sharp corner at the intersection then a flat at the intersection of the vee will also help clear the wheel when grinding the vertical faces and no angle needs to be dressed on thewheel perimeter. I see a few videos of large vee blocks, often they do not need a sharp corner at the base of the vee as they are not designed for small diameters. Having a flat allows the vee blocks to be far smaller whilst still holding the required larger diameters.

    counterpoint: the consumer has now seen so many machined or cast items that machining and casting procedures are now routine prosumer culture, you can literally increase list price simply by doing more visible machining because the prosumer does know what they're paying for. meanwhile rarity markets are splitting on many common items: for example you can now get a real D2 Benchmade knockoff for $10 but anyone who knows what D2 is absolutely knows which is the knockoff and it will get to them eventually. be fancy, there's buyers now for fancy.
