Great stuff Vince!💪 Keep doing what you do and as you go along, maybe you can explain what is the importance of fixtures or workholding,types of clamps used and why,vices that are easy to use and how they determine the quality of the machining.
Nice table there Vince, quality work :) Great that you have the guts to try and mill thread, its actually the safe way to do threads, you don't risk breaking a tap, and it can cut with closer tolerance , longer life for the threads, Normally we would put a steel coil in, Recoil or other brand, so that threads will last forever. But a nice build again :)
advanced features are for professionals only, they should be discussed in technical terms only to prevent confusion. Professional quote from my shop to describe such features, " measure once cuss twice. again professionals only. Logo features are equally discussed in such a manner. I have many logos. Some truly represent my skills, some only show possibilities. Another great effort, and video.
Dr Pipe yeah thread milling is becoming more and more popular. It allows machines that don’t have the rigidity and accuracy required to power tap to still make threads. You can also use one tool to make a large range of different thread sizes which saves money from buying individual taps and dies.
Looks great! I've wanted to try thread milling, but haven't yet. I would like to see some videos of effective use of this plate. Particularly how do you fixture parts so that you can cut through the parts without wrecking the fixture plate. Would you consider sharing the Fusion design? Thanks!
Just love that spindle with all tooling in CAT30 I assume. I often dream of this and the cash needed to acquire it. The single point threading was beautiful. I was interested to note spindle RPM used there. I am upgrading a 24 x 48 CNC Router and perhaps to do metal work.The generic 2.2kW spindle's low end is 6000 as far as I know and this poses a bit of a problem. The rigidity of the gantry is another limiting factor. The Z axis handles up to 200mm thick material. Great for 3D wood carving but not so much for metal. So I am looking at raising the work to reduce this. Upgrading is a bit of a gamble. I found some deals for the materials. Have almost no metal tooling of course. My poor wallet.... Using 45x180mm T-Slot extrusions for upgrading the bed. They permit a M8 T-nut. Bought a large offcut of some 6061 T651 plate, might not be stiff enough at 0.500". Going to view some of the your early days videos of the mill build Regards, Chris
Very nice. Did you ever consider to do this with the table itself? This way you'd save some z-height and get better rigidity as well. Of course, with an alu fixture plate like this, you can use it sacrificially and replace when needed.
where did the imperfection in the surface on the left hand side come from? Did you break a bit or crash or somethng else..If so how did you fix it and what made it happen? Sorry just curious and like to see how other people go about this kind of work. Thanks
great CNC machining video. i love the plate you machined for VINCE BUILD and SUBSCRIBE. it's amazing. i am thinking i can ask our CNC workshop to machine this kind of name plate.
Hei awsome build, just vatched all your vids, how are you satisfied now? could you check please for me repeatability ? Im in a proces ob doing same style mill for multiple pices. thanks for anwser
I like your Videos! Great! Have you tried to use less steps - later in the process? Usually i know the Tools use one or zwo passes! How ever great Video!
I like seeing practical projects and thier applications.... great job on your videos.
Nice build! We posted your video on our homemade tools forum yesterday, credited to you of course :)
Awesome. Glad it’s useful
Great stuff Vince!💪

Very cool. I need to build a fixture plate too. You should build an atc. Btw very nice machine. Keep up the great work.

At some point I’ll make it from steel for some heavier works
Yeah, its much more resistant to scratches than aluminium.

Wow I’m speechless .. is it standard these days for Cnc to cut threads this way ?.. this is amazing. Love that Cnc 💯🙏

It depend on part. You can use scarp plate under your part or leave .005” on Z axis if possible than clean it up later with deburring tool
That's awesome, nice cnc too!
Nice plate you make but I like more a plate whit t-slot it is easy to clean and your work fit always 😉👍👍

Nice plate! Good job. Try to fix those vertical axis covers, you will get chips on yours linear guides and spindle.
Thx. Yes I have to fix those covers
Really cool I want to build that cnc so bad
Very good! 😀👍

True. Main reason for this If I mess it up it’s cheap to replace it.
good job!
very good video..thanks for your time

Wrong tool offset caused it
Congratulations for the job and for the milling machine. May I ask what spindle did you use? Where did you buy it? Thank you.
Parabéns pelo trabalho amigo, ficou muito bom.

Vince great work. I bought a machine myself last month. How do you keep paying for these projects?
Great CNC. What software did you use to program the hole threading? What bit did you use? Thank you.
I used fusion360. And 3/8 thread mill from Micro100
Hi Vince, I want make one fixture Plate, I want use 12mm metric mitee bite, clamps, wich must be the distance between holes center to center? Thanks
I am sorry not sure about it as I dont have Mitee bites
Nice job

Yes I am. For home made CNC it’s great
Good video.

Thx. I wanted to have nicer finish on sides that is why I ran extra finishing pass.
hi friend, where do you found that kind of threading mill? thanks
Brand is Micro 100.
@@advanceair thanks, i'll make a search
Here is a link.
Micro 100 TM-375X Brazed Carbide... www.amazon.ca/dp/B00T4FJ6U2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
@@advanceair nice! they are very expensive.. thanks friend!
Do you have the 3d model of the plate?
Yes I do
I heard that you are a container trucker?
9:38 LOL
