i have a right angle milling attachment for my 9x49 bridgport clone and have not used it yet so thx 4 showing that. i would like to see a video on tips and tricks and shortcuts for the milling machine and the lathe i think that would be interesting and and good info for new and upcomming machinists thanks jamie buckley. actually this could be a whole new series for your channel.
Word of advice on the Kool mist.. It puts a tremendous amount of moisture in the air, your machinery will thank you if you cut down on the actual mist ( it works best when you don't even see the mist without putting a piece of paper in front of it) and .. this is the big one.. do make sure you go around and give any bare metal surfaces on your machinery a little wd-40 love after using the kool mist.
Nice update. Some time on my channel, I hope to show using my Van Norman 22LU, which converts from horizontal to vertical. I do have one of those 90° heads for my Bridgeport as well. A nice bag of tricks to have. I will keep watching. Thanks. --Doozer
I think people would rather see you putting on and setting up the cutting wheel than spend fifteen watching the tool creep forward. It's the SETUP that's valuable, not seeing the cutting.
Did you find much distortion from the round after such a deep slot? Don't take this the wrong way but a better balance between set up and machining might prove to be of more interest to your viewers.
That is an unusual piece that you slotted, an you say what it is used for or is it proprietary, and does horizontal head for the Bridgeport Run warm when you are using it
It is proprietary :(. But it is used for a clamping and cutting action. There is a blade that goes in the slot that will cut on a second action after it is clammed. and no the Bridgeport dosent even know it is on there.
I would like to have the flood coolant, but the mess would be unreal. I dont ahve the mill set up for flood coolant so the spray coolant works best for now.
Interesting slightly different setup. It's hard to see in the video -- how thin were the chips? With that many cutting edges, it seems like you could feed pretty fast? Also, you'll want to trim out more of the middle of the footage of the cut, it gets a bit repetitive :-) Thanks for keeping it up!
The cips where thin. Didnt want to risk the cutter because I only had one. Also noted on the footage. Still new to this and taking all the insight on video editing. Thanks for the input.
Pretty conservative cut and speed, but it worked, so it wasn’t wrong. As far as the editing goes. I wouldn’t cut it all out, but maybe speed it up and put some music behind it?
Camera went down. Just picked up a new one. We are hoping to have something out either later this week or early next and then we will be back to at least weekly videos. We have a few projects coming up that we think everyone will enjoy.
You have to be running 2 machines at once or doing something else while set ups like this cut. Cnc machines are super nice and I want one dont get me wrong, but I also dont want to lose sight of where the trade started from.
I have a couple manual machines and they don’t get touched. I will do a lathe job on the mill just because it’s faster. Also used cnc market is not bad 10k will get you into a good 90s cnc.
How do u make money with setups and cuts like that? That's literally a 10 min cut and done.... all the while id be setting up or running something else.... not have my hands in my pockets
Yes gus, because I was in front of the mill the entire time? If you watch the video you can see I walk away and then come back every so often when I want to check on the cut. Or maybe you missed that part of the video. Either way thank you for watching!
You make money by billing the appropriate hours, shop rate, materials and tooling cost. It is not easy being a manual only shop, but you can make it by being able to do quick turn work. This is what real tool shop and one off machinery repair jobs look like. It is not production work where you have a specialized broaching equipment and quick change set ups. There is no way a Shaper or Arbor press with broach set up would be faster. What process do you have at your shop that could do this in 10 min? I am guessing that the slot had a tolerance with the large width to depth ratio, that required a more precise set up.
@@chrisrokz9005 I job shop with a cnc all day everyday..... I can program faster and let it rip than this wow...lol... idk to each his own.. Lol... peace love and happiness... I just all of us to kick the rest of the world's ass when it comes to manufacturing... No trolling here... just legit convo from a legit American tool maker
To add in what you have said, the cutter cost 130$ and I only had one.... I didnt want to risk tearing the cutter up just to finish the cut 7 mins faster. Thank you go taking our side here @chris rokz
@@chrisrokz9005 assuming a Bridgeport can remove 0.5 cuin per minute in SS. That piece is, what 24 inches? Times one inch deep times 5/32 wide, says about 8 minutes optimal. Use a few passes of a carbide 5/32 em first? Run that wheel faster and feed faster after that? If he wore out the wheel and saved half an hour, that would have been right for his customer if he charges > 240 bucks an hour, which I don't think he does :-)
Learned something new. Thanks for showing off the bridgeport!
Good video close up. Did learn about the horizontal atachment. Perfect setting for it.
Thanks for posting.
Speaking from a job shop. Nice work.
Good work and a deep cut. I don't see that often. Thanks
Thanks for the comment. I enjoy making the one off parts on the manual machines.

I'd love to see that I have a Van Norman as well. Love those mills

That’s the first time on video I have seen and angle head used that way
great presentation. I can hear you just fine. No need to shout to the microphone.
Never seen this before but sounds like that head could use some grease n that zerk
The bridgeport head sounds normal, it's the circular cutter that's making all that noise.
Some editing would be nice
The newer videos have a little more time put into them
Interesting. I have a knock-off head and haven't used it yet. I guess I need to. Was stiffness an issue?
There was a little vibrations at first, but I went back and tightened up the tables a little more and it took most of it out.
You can buy arbor support that clamps on the dove tail. Basically making it like a real horizontal
@@MamcoMachining Thanks.
@@ronvonbargen8411 I have that piece as well, but the whole mess is a lot less beefy that a true horizontal mill.
Did you find much distortion from the round after such a deep slot?
Don't take this the wrong way but a better balance between set up and machining might prove to be of more interest to your viewers.
Ya trying to find the happy medium. a few viewers asked for this though.
Mamco Machining Don't worry you will get there, just a bit of catching up to do to equal the likes of Abom or the Fenner.

Thanks I received my dial indicator, will put it to good use
Great video...........How do you find the spray coolant as apposed to flood coolant?. Regards Kevin (MachineNZ)

Feel free to edit out the two hours it takes to make one effing cut.
So I would normally not even show this, but a lot of people on the other video wanted to see footage like this. Sorry you didnt like it.
@@MamcoMachining I appreciate the video. Havent seen someone else tape using one. Hope to see more videos soon.
Nothing wrong with this format, shows what it actually takes to do this stuff. You can fast forward...
Haven't seen any new videos for awhile, hope all is well.
Camera went down. Just picked up a new one. We are hoping to have something out either later this week or early next and then we will be back to at least weekly videos. We have a few projects coming up that we think everyone will enjoy.
Ugh ugh .Where is the arbor support ?
would have liked to see more time devoted to the set up and less cutting"action"
Noted. Thank you for the input.
Why not just an End Mill? That was a waste of time , then you tried to conventional mill that slot .....
How do you make any money without a cnc?
