Today, we'll be machining a spindle clamp for a giant Kuka robot to do some really crazy milling with! Enjoy!
Thanks for watching!

Anybody that can program a part (correctly), set up a part (correctly) and run a part (correctly) and inspect a part (correctly) gets my respects. Good job. Where do you do ur machining? Good quality video too.
Thank you sir, much appreciated! I machine out of my shop (Lakewood Machine) in Newmarket, ON!
That haas must have been screaming with that long endmill
Im a cnc machinists myself really love your videos,but what i wanted to say i mill alot of block casting but chip build is common thing we all deal with.I always use a combination of air and water to clear chips of the work piece.
Great Video Ian! Just a quick one, when machining the 3 drilled holes/ counterbores did you machine the counterbores first to create a flat for the drill to engage the material? I previously did a job at my work place and it had similar features. Keep up the good work mate, from the UK !!
Thank you sir! Yeah you got it, I sunk down a counterbore with a half inch endmill until it was totally flat, then spot drilled the hole location inside the counterbore before drilling. Thanks for watching!
Have you considered using haimers to set your work offsets? Just curious.
Nah, never seen a point in it when a $20 edge finder does the trick! They are nice though for sure.
Oakwood Machine Works haimers and other devices like touch probes from Renishaw bloom etc are only required when your machining high value components or castings that can’t be replaced quickly and cheaply..it’s simply not cost effective in other circumstances...edge finders or setting bars are simple cheap and get the job done....nothing beats and old drill and a fag paper....why pay £5k for a probe when it’s not needed ???
I like those vises being able to be turned 90 and clamped to the table nice.
Great video Ian, keep up the good work.
Did you machine that with a high speed machine? I have a VF-3 it does not have high speed machining unless i pay extra for it. I also run mastercam and those dynamic tool path take for ever to run a part i tend to use old school Toolpaths.
I use old school paths as well typically - this VF5 does not have a high speed machining option either. Each side was about 4-5 hours in dynamic, feeding fairly slow and taking small passes - but it was about the same amount of time when I did the last one using old school pockets and area mills
same prob, but you can lower the back feed rate to 100ipm and filter the path to a 1:1 ratio that will create arcs in X and Y, 25% step over, always will have a pain to clear swarf tho without high pressure coolant, dems the breaks!
Another vote for 1:1 filter. I also post I J K with 360 arc option and allow helix. Really helps smooth out circular and spline segments.
Great stuff. I will email you pic and specs on the long reach shell mills for alu
That would be great! Pleasure speaking with you brother, thanks for the call!
I always have a hell of time with them long 2fl hss chattering and deflecting and just leaving crappy finish. What rpm and feed did u run?. .5 to 1 mm stepover ? Oh and it did come out looking great
have you ever tried using ALU-Power 3 flute @ 45 degrees helix Solid Carbide endmills by YG , I have used a 5/8" x 2-1/2" flute length with great mirror like finishes. (www.yg1usa.com/feature/itemdetail.asp?edpno=36595TC).
Agree with Ryan. Get a good 2" shell alum specific shoulder cutting. If you get good prices on Korloy stick with that brand. Most new inserts do a good job of leaving straight wall finishes. I like having 2" and 3" Shell, just take some big wacks. It is harder to get good side milling results once the end mill gets longer then 2" with 40 Taper.
yes i have . i have been using yg we use a ton of 3/4 xxxl. i never have a problem with carbide just hhs
Im not a machinist but wouldnt it be easier to to slot a ring around the inside of the bore so the whole center of the part could fall out, then finish up with a finishing pass? Prob With a peel mill op. You could save time, tool wear, and material and still have chips flying everywhere XD.
Clearing chips would be a big issue, as well as flute length limitations. Also the breaking through/falling of that core would be a massive gamble, with the potential of breaking the tool or gouging the part! Much safer to spend the time and pocket it out, my opinion anyway.
Why such limited memory in cnc machines when in a PC 16G is less than $500?
I’m not a computer guy so I don’t know the specifics, but upgrading memory to 1GB is like $8000 last time I checked.
that took you forever plus u need. a chip splitter for those long chips
