Syil X7 - Speed Vise Handle First Chips!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- I apologize for the camera angle. I didn't realize the spindle cover was blocking the view until after I had made the handle. I'll get better with video capture and audio quality with time.
This is the first program I have ever run start to finish with multiple toolpaths. I did do a test handle where I posted and ran each toopath one by one.
Stay tuned to a future video to find out how you can win one of these handles as a giveaway when I cross the 10,000 subscriber mark!
Hey, that was a great video! I really enjoyed it. For one thing there's not a lot on the Syil, but the CAM portion really brought it home for me. I couldn't understand the big deal about the NC programs before, but now I get the big idea, and I think I will be able to use them in my milling as well. Thanks for making the video. I agree with Matthew below... keep them coming!. Ciao, Marco.
Overtime, the post process command will be removed and everything will be standardized on create NC Program. I have about two more weeks left teaching high school classes and then my time will be freed up considerably.
Like you're Syil I'm going to order one myself
Great video Kevin 👍 I liked the logical, well paced narrative.
Great for Slow Joes like me 🤪
Keep them coming mate 😁
Regards
Robert
Hi Robert. Glad you liked the video. Sorry I blew the camera angle but I’ll get them better with time. It’s not your fault that you had a poor teacher with Aaron (I’m going to pay for the comment later) haha
@@MechanicalAdvantage Hey, just remember Fargo Kev. You've been my teacher for a while now too LMAO 🤪

Not sure if you have done this, 2 year old video… you can edit the post processor and change the Preload Tool “true” to “false” This will change the default and you won’t have to remember to check that box anymore. That post Processor was made for the 16 tool ATC.
Glad to see you running the machine! Looks like it came out very nicely as well, sir.
Thanks Tom. It took a long time but it’s great to finally be able to walk out the door and have access to a machine.
Excellent work Kevin. So happy to see you cutting Chips mate. Nice looking speed vise handles too. Fast approaching 10k subscribers too. Cheers Aaron
Thanks Aaron. And thanks for all your help along the way.
Great video, I am just getting started and I found this a great help. Thanks.
Glad to hear it. It's nice to have people watch what you make, so thanks for letting me know.
Great video Kevin. Looking forward to your summer project videos.
Very nice video Kevin! It is nice to see that you got the machine running.
Hi Marcelo. Thank you! It’s amazing for me to have a machine out in my garage that I can walk out of the house and use. Still lots of “shop” improvements to do this summer so I can be out there all winter next year.
Great job Kevin, nice and clear, and educational. Looking forward to the next one already 😁
Hi Rob. Thanks, now let’s get you cranking away on your machine! :)
I taught him everything he knows Rob. No I didn't, but it sounded like the right thing to say LOL
@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering 😂😂
@@MechanicalAdvantage cannot wait, and thanks so much for the support.
Great video Kevin. It is nice to see a machine running in real time occasionally for a point of reference.
I mounted a gopro stick on mount on the side of the head but were the camera looks under the casting. It gives a pretty good viewing angle.
I’ll get the camera stuff working better. I preview the angle on my phone. But once you hit record, the preview stops. So I didn’t realize the spindle enclosure got in the way of the shot when it came down in Z.
@@MechanicalAdvantage like most things, its an ever evolving process. I still enjoyed it. Those Syil machines sure do run smooth.
Great video Kevin! Keep them coming!
Will do. See you in a couple of weeks.
Hi Kevin, good to see you up and running. Pretty aggressive strategies !
Hi Alan. It took me way too long to get the machine up and going but better late than never. Now I'm looking forward to being able to walk into the garage and build things! I'm super excited about that.
I'm pretty happy with the performance of the machine so far. I don't think I was even close to pushing any limits. I'll be doing some capability testing to find out just how much material the machine can remove using that 2 flute shearhog.
Great to hear from you. Hopefully you are doing well and staying safe.
Great video. Can you show how you probe in your vise, decide where your work offset will be and how you template that in Fusion CAM to be repurposed for different parts?
The thumbnail image got broken for this video, but here is a video where I talk about how and why you might choose different places.

Excellent video @kevin it's great o see that machine making chips.
Thanks Al. I’d still rather make parts, but it’s nice to have chips too 😋😂😁
Great to see a new video from you ! Keep em coming. Camera angle could use a bit of work, but you knew that.😉
Yep. I was previewing on my phone but once you hit record the preview stops or else I would have fixed it. I plan to get it better with more camera and better mounts and lighting.
Fricken awesome!!!! Inspiring to watch
Hi SwissPL. Sorry I screwed up the camera angle. There will be more in the future.
great stuff here!
Awesome Kevin nice to see you up and running, that's a real nice machine you have there, will be cool to see how far you can push it, looked like it didn't even break a sweat there! was starting to worry about you, sent you a couple of messages and never got a reply.
Hi Ash. Yeah, sorry. I kind of fell off the face of the earth over on IG. Things got pretty negative for me there so I have been taking a bit of a break. It’s good to have things running. Still need to run air line and drops around the garage. Evaluating PEX and Shop Air systems right now for that. I have about two more weeks of teaching high school classes and then I’ll have a lot of free time this summer for the garage and the machine.
@@MechanicalAdvantage Cool glad your ok! Make some of those speed vise handles with the mechvantage logo ;-) id like a Mechvantage bottle opener! my haas one is getting a little wore out. how you doing for tooling on the machine? is there is anything you need? If you need more tool holders lookup Piotr Fox Wysocki on youtube he found some really nice bt30 holders for very little money.
I’m sitting pretty decent on holders for now. They do look interesting for a future purchase. Working in buying more cutting tools and collets now and a Haimer. So Haimer, and running my air lines are probably my two biggest priorities right now.
@@MechanicalAdvantage do you not have a probe input? have a look at drewtronics they make a reasonable wired probe (manufactured in texas) they guarantee .001 accuracy or better with .0002 repeatability for $170 yeah its wired but its still faster/arguably better than a Haimer. they also sell a wireless one for $700 with .0002ths accuracy and 0.0001ths repeatability. drewtronics.org/ this guy also sells nice probes too but for the money i think the drewtronics wireless one is the way i will be going so it can live in the tool changer. this is the site for the other guy in nz making probes hallmarkdesign.co.nz/
Hi Kevin -First of all I really appreciate your videos - they are very helpful. I do have a question though - for your 3rd op (milling the vice handle in the soft jaws) in this video, where was your work coordinate system (WCS) placed ? You didn't show that in the video.
I think I will need to design a version of these for the Kemmler Vise as well. :)
Awesome video Kevin.
That was an excellent video Kevin. But there is one thing I just don’t understand. How is it possible to wind the feed handles on that milling machine so fast? I tried on my manual mill and grazed all my knuckles. Ok mate got to go. I’m booked in at the doctors for some blood letting with some leeches 👍
Hi which cad/cam programming software are you using?
Great video thank you
That’s nice work 👍🏽
Did u add a relief cut to the soft jaws? Or are you just using a dead blow to stop if from popping out?
Hi Amy. I didn’t do anything special with the profile. After I put the handle in the soft jaws I hit it with the hammer. They came out pretty dimensionally accurate on the thickness for the effort I put into it. I think they are within about .002 on thickness.
Nice job, I like the machine. It looks like it’s a pretty capable machine. Just from what I have seen ,it looks like it may be more of a vmc than a Tormach. Is there a big difference in pricing compared to a Tormach? Keep the chips flying, I’ll be watching.
The are priced very close to the Tormach but you get a real industrial controller (5 choices) and linear guides and full to the floor casting, not a benchtop on a stand! They are extremely accurate and repeatable, the new ones are even made from an epoxy granite casting from Switzerland by Schneeberger!
As Paul said, much beefier machine. Higher horsepower spindle. Industrial control options. And most things are standard and not add-on options. Plus these come pre-assembled so you don’t have to do that part.
@@MechanicalAdvantage You can see the way it moves and runs that the Tormach is not in its class. Nice machine. Look forward to upcoming videos and chips.
badass! question, i see you had fusion reorder the ops (post processor) so the tools were in order. can't that cause issues though? like if certain operations have to be in chronological order, is fusion smart enough to recognize that?
Fusion is smart enough to know that in a case like you mention, it can’t reorder the tools. So there really isn’t a lot of concern for checking that option. Always simulate your NC Programs though to be sure.
@@MechanicalAdvantage thanks for the response. Been learning a ton from your channel.
Thx for the awesome content!
Thank you. Stay tuned for a lot more to come.
Looks good.
Thank you! I'll make some fixes for future videos but I was happy with this for the first video.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching.
How come you don't always use food coolant on the shear hog?
Mostly to try to keep the camera lens clear. Coolant provides some lubricity, helps to cool the tool, and helps with chip evacuation. The shear hog is a two flute inserted tool. There is a big gap between the inserts. So you don't really have to worry about chips getting caught in there and breaking the tool. If it weren't for the camera, I would run full flood on there all the time though.
you might want to change the post so that the preload tool is unchecked by default
Yeah that setting should have stuck after the first change. I’m not sure why it didn’t remain the default but I’ll get it sorted.
Kevin Awesome Video
Hi Robert. Glad you liked it. It took me a long time to get up and running but now that I am it should be easy to keep on doing projects on the machine.
Nices
Thanks Daniel. I screwed up the camera angle, but live and learn I guess.
How do you like the machine?
Machine is good. So far I have failed it far more than it has failed me. Spoiler alert, it hasn't failed me.
Hi
Can you hold 0.01mm tolerance on this machine ?
Maybe? 🤷♂️ Probably not. Do you have a climate controlled humidity controlled shop? No machine will help you if you don’t that that to start.
@@MechanicalAdvantage just under half a 10th there you go i did non metric for you :-) you could probably do it if you go slow and hit it with a few finish passes but i doubt its necessary for a vice handle to have sub thou accuracy? isn't that what grinders are for ;-) being serious though it would be interesting to see a video on how well it interpolates a hole/cylinder and holds size and squareness.
@@MechanicalAdvantage yes i do. I just want to know if machine is capable of such tight tolerance..
Spot drilling😅😅😅😅😅 for what?..for fun only....
I’m using 118 degree high speed steel drills. So yeah, spot drilling for an accurate location.
@@MechanicalAdvantage no through coolant...no solid carbide? Strange..! Thats for high speed machining....good for your machining time.
Still slow...speed up...50%
I’m sorry you don’t know your head from your ass. I wish you well in finding both of them.
