This was excellent, every decision well explained and justified. This one is a must for us budding machinists. Length is fine. Thanks, looking forward to Saturday.
Hi Craig. Do you have a machine you can try this on? I've gotten a few emails from people that have made the part so far.
@@MechanicalAdvantage funny, was thinking the same thing. My PM728VT with MASSO/Clearpath CNC just arrived. I'll see what I can do. Will email you with my contact info.
Excellent tutorial Kevin. Length not a problem at all.
OK, good to hear. I think most will be about this length. There will be some parts that require soft jaws and I may break those videos up over a few days.
I learned a lot, It went by very quickly, and I was still rewinding occasionally to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Good. I tried to balance between not going to fast and not getting to buried in details at the same time.
Great explanation for beginners like me. Thanks for sharing Kevin...
Thank you for letting me know. There will be about 10 more parts coming in this series.
very good - I learned more stuff
Great! job, just the right length. Very helpfull! Thanks!
Great video Kevin, thank you. Length was fine, because it was feature packed.
I picked up a few tips that I did not know before which is fantastic, thanks. I did not know i could drag out the browser bar to give more info on the tool details, that will save me hovering over it to see. The finishing overlap, I always type in 5mm, so knowing I can use the edit expression is a nice quick tip. Also, using copy and past for tool paths to speed up following setups, i could not work out how to paste it, but your video showing to click on the new opp is excellent, now i know.
One thing I'd love more lessons on is in the Geometry tab, what each of the options do when selecting different boundary's. That can be a bit of a mind field.
Looking forward to more of this, thanks for doing these.
The geometry tab is a good idea. There might be a few things I'm waiting for to be released before I do that. How is that for a teaser? haha
@@MechanicalAdvantage very cool, this is one area I definitely struggle with. Thanks buddy.
Awesome, thanks for following up with the Cam, Good refresher for me as I have done this but made many mistakes in the past
Thanks Larry. I hope you keep watching the other videos in the series.
Kevin….
GREAT video mate.
My OFM ( Old Fart Meter) didn’t even register, as I was able to follow along just fine 👍
Thanks for doing these mate.
I’ll call you in the next coupla months to discuss some online or video Siemens 808DA training on my X7.
Once again, thanks for providing this much needed content.
Regards,
Robert
Glad I didn't break the OFM! haha
When you need some help, let me know. I'm not sure I'm the foremost export on the control. I pretty much know how to set tools, set the WCS, and load the program.
@@MechanicalAdvantage
Well…. You’re a long way in front of me mate… it’s those ‘simple things that I need to learn…
Robert
@RobertBrown-lf8yq Email me. This would be the perfect series to get you started. How close to Aaron are you?
@@MechanicalAdvantage
He is in Melbourne, I’m in Sydney.
I did two days with him ( F360 + Syil) about four years ago.
He doesn’t have a Siemens controller though.
I’ll email you
Thanks
Robert
Well done Kevin hope to connect with you soon
Hi Robert. Yeah, shoot me an email or text. Or you can use your code to schedule time.
Thank you, length is fine. On the side 10-32 holes, when using spot drill is a good practice to chamfer .010 to .015 before tapping?
I was wondering if you were going to do a short vid on the approach that you were going to take on posting the Gcode for this project.....in other words, post each OP as a separate file and then establish/probe the new WCS for the next OP, or take a different approach. Saturday should be great seeing this part come to life on the Syil.
I think I'll show the process of posting. You may have noticed that the shearhog I used for setup 2 was tool #13. That is a bit of a problem since I only have 12 tools in the changer. So i'll need to edit that tool number before I can post. I'll be posting each setup and running the setup from start to finish.
Kevin, the presentation style is great, could be a bit fast paced for a person just getting started with CAM, but overall, very feature rich. The only note I made was that in setup #2 it was a bit fuzzy as to where/how you would pick up the WCS for this setup and its subsequent operations. Looking forward to the next vid and presentation. @@MechanicalAdvantage
Hi Kevin great idea this series, do you think this engine could be reproduced on a CNC router set up, the one im thinking is a Foxalien Vasto
certainly not industrial but capable of milling aluminium.
I would think so. As long as you have a good way to hold and accurately pick up the backside programs.
Another great video thanks. what I would like to know how to correct is when viewing the part for my first setup with the top view being set the part seems to work fine when rotating around but when flipping the part over for the second setup it seems the top view is now the bottom and part doesn't seem to rotate on the correct axis. Does this make sense?
Feel free to send me an email and I can get more details from you on this.
