Thread Milling on Sherline 2010 Milling Machine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 сен 2022
- Hi Guys!
In this video I'm going to finish my little stand to take pictures of the carbide micro tooling that I make.
Are 18 holes and 9 threads milled, all made approximately around 11 minutes.
I like to show it to assist in understanding, and to inspire you.
All CNC-programming was made by my self, as always I'm using the Mach3 and the Wizard on it, is simple and intuitive.
I recommend you to explore the Wizard in order to understand better the syntax of the G codes in a CNC process.
The milling machine is one of my 2010 Sherline machine, I love them for decades.
Material - 7075 aluminum alloy.
First sequence of 9 holes, - 3.3 mm diameter, 7 mm depth.
9 threads milled - 4 mm - Pitch 0.70
Last sequence of 9 holes - 1/8" diameter and 10 mm depth.
Drills used - carbides.
RPM in all process - 10 k
Feed rate holes - 100 mm/m
Feed rate for the threads - first pass 153 mm/m - second pass 175 mm/m - 10k rpm
Coolant / Fluid - mix of kerosene 80% with 20% of mineral oil.

man every time i watch your videos i want to get some cnc Sherline tools great Work Sir
@craigromero5921
Thank you for watching and for your comment.
I'm glad you liked my work.
💯I’ve learned several new things as Usual with All your Videos💯👏👏👏👏
Thank you for watching my videos and for your kind comment.
The Legend is BACK! Love you’re videos! I would love to see you anti backlash system. I’m having a little trouble with mine. Be safe friend! 😊
It's always a pleasure come back to this channel to watch you machining. Love your attention to details.
Obrigado mestre Luiz
Always wonderful videos Luiz!
Hi James, thank you for watching my videos.
It's been a long time between videos. Great to see you back again!
Hi Ron, thank you for watching my video, I'm glad you liked it.
I do this on a 5400 mill converted to CNC. Works amazingly well.
I'm glad to know it, thank you for let me know bout that also.
That turned out great!
Thank you my friend!
Good to see that work is going on.
Fantastic work!
Thank you Chris!
Very nice!
Thank you my friend!
Nice video's you made. I love that table clamp you using
Thank you for watching and commenting, this vise was developed by me, it works very well and is very practical.
If you use a Sherline mill and need one of these, I have it for sale.
Hi Luiz, great job!
Thank you so much my friend!
Thank you for sharing. I have a thread milling tool that I have yet to break. Maybe one day I'll use it..
Thank you for watching my friend, I intend to make a video showing how to make thread milling by a simple way how do I do it here.
Hello my friend great work🇬🇧
Thank you James!
Impresive :)
Hi Adam, thank you for watching my video, I'm glad you liked it.
Great video. Enjoy seeing new videos that you are producing.
Where can the purchase of the shim vises be made. Do you still sale them?
Love that vise.
Do you use the high rpm pulley set on this machine?
@buundy
Hi András, yes, I'm using the 10k pulley set in this mill machine.
Love your vids! Is sherline strong enough to do steel?
@J j Thanks for watching my video, to answer your question, I would say yes, I work with practically all kinds of steel here, including titanium.
The secret to it, is a good cutting tool.
Could you tell me what sort of work flow you used? For toolpath generation what software did you use? Can we design in Onshape generate the cad files then export to cam software like fusion360 and then create the toolpaths?
Hi, I am using the Mach3 wizard, and in this video I generated each hole and thread one by one and copy and paste each coordinate.
So, I have not yet used the Onshape generate, but it is certainly possible for you to associate and export to cam software like fusion360 and then create the toolpaths
@@tryally thanks for the reply, what do you think about the sherline mill? Is it good for small production work. I want avoid buying a full fledged mill like the Bridgeport, add I don't have a big enough place, also my production is not very high, say max 10-20 parts in a month. Does the sherline mill good for this? I do have a sherline lathe, however it doesn't get used much. What type of mill should i go for? Trapezoid thread or ball screw type? I am thinking of getting my own stepper motor and drivers with a grbl based control card, do you think this should work good for the sherline mill?
@@arbjful The new series Sherline with ball screw is excellent for small/medium production work at home or even small company.
If you have a choice of ball screws, the accuracy is great, and you will not have problems with backlash.
The Sherline milling machine is small and fits anywhere, and you can also integrate the software of your choice.
I never have used the grbl based control card here, but I know a lot of the Sherline CNC mill and I believe you will have no problem using it.
My only recommendation is for you to keep in mind if the size of your parts are within the range of things possible for a small milling machine.
Although I do almost everything here with my Sherline milling machine.
I really love these machines.
There is a group on Facebook that I am an administrator, you will be welcome there, and you can ask many questions including the best system and software etc…
This is the way to the group: facebook.com/groups/975235319239533
There is also my Tryally page, where in the albums you can see many things I do using Sherline's milling machine and lathe.

@@tryally thanks for the very helpful tips. How does the Sherline mill compare with CNC routers that are not used for etching and woodwork? I believe nowadays these are being used to mill aluminum. From what I gathered the spindles run at 20k rpm and require the correct feed rates and spindle speeds to be set. Since The sherline mill runs at lower speeds it may be more forgiving
@@arbjful Each machine style has its own concept, usually routers machine offer unwanted vibrations, so they are mostly used for cutting or engraving on soft materials, wood, acrylics, etc. and they also offer no z-axis height, so, routers are better suited to flat materials.
Now the Sherline is a small torpedo type milling machine, suitable for machining any material, it's very versatile.
The Sherline can operate up to 10k rpm, just use the pulley set they offer for higher speeds.
But that's it, you're right, Sherline operates in a more tolerant way.
Wonderful work! Is this a threading tool you make and sell? Great idea for a tool holder.
Hi Mr. Mazen, so, I make my own tools for thread milling, but you can find them easily in the market.
I could sell them, but it would be impossible for me to compete on price.
I am thinking of making a video showing how I make these thread milling tools.
@@tryally please, make the video :-) I buy as well but get more pleasure from making. I have a Alexander d-bit grinder already.
@@tryally That would be wonderful! Please make the video.
@@gerritvisser Gerrit, I will, thank you for watching my video.
But can it run Crysis?
Hi buddy, I don't quite understand the question, explain to me your doubt.
@@tryally - That's 15 year old meme, about PC game Crysis, who was too heavy for most of gaming computers.
@@hztnI think I am getting old LOL
If I asked my son he would certainly know that.
Thank you for let me konw it.
@@tryally - I was a machinist first couple years, and only after i'd reached some money to buy a PC, and than play some games. (my channel dedicated to it) And still have no my own shop as i dreamed. Hope to have it after the ending of war. You're one of those masters who inspiring me, tnx.
What kind of oil do you put on while make thread?
Hi Reid, in this case for aluminum I use 20% mineral oil and 80% kerosene, any mineral oil works well.
