Nice vid. I've got a Haas UMC500 myself. I have a Lang baseplate that's permanently on the machine. It has 8 x 96mm holes to accept Land pullstuds. I then attach various types of workholding onto that. For this type of work I can highly recommend 5th axis dovetails. It's really quick to install the 5th axis Riser on the Lang baseplate, and then put the Dovetail adapter on top. the four pullstuds on the Riser just drop into the Lang baseplate, and then the 4 pullstuds on the Dovetail adapter just drop into the Riser block. It's pretty easy and quick to machine the dovetails into the raw stock as well. You get great access to the part for machining with dovetails. It's worth the investment for the amount of time and effort you save doing setups. P.S. Yes, the TSC pump on Haas machines is ridiculously loud!
This is technically referred to as 3+2 machining. Since only 3 axis where ever moving during the cut and the other 2 axis are locked into a position. I applaud your initiative for learning this stuff and jumping right into the big end of the pool. 5 axis positional machining can be very fun. Full 5 is allot more fun.
You should have used that big block to extend the machine vice jaws. The play you were worried about, I would have thought, the jaws play would have been taken up by the floating ball mechanism or not?
Don't recall if you said what CAM you used, and not quite clear on those features left in your g-code from the tesselation and whether you actually need some of them but there are smoothing and tolerance options (thats what Fusion calls them, other software may have slightly different) that let you decrease/simplify the lines of gcode in exchange for potentially being more sloppy with the geometry.
Thanks! I use Mastercam ( just learning) before I used visual mill and I am familiar with what you describe. In this case the excess mill time was lower than the code optimization time. But I am keeping and eye on the issue. Thank you for your insight.
33:00 those artifacts are probably whisper cuts from a bad rest material thickness and toolpath tolerance combination. If thats the case then you should have a look at "Eliminate Rest Machining Whisper Cuts in Fusion 360! FF112"
HAAS...good machines, but sorry coolant pumps. And they give you the options to buy a 1000psi TSC that no needs and high pressure flood coolant that is a joke compare to other cnc brand.

Thanks for the tip. I checked out the webiste for the work holding

Hahaha I lost it when I saw the bench vice in the mill
Check out the previos video where I machined parts with the bench vise!
Great looking part, and an interesting fixture. I'd consider using some threaded inserts to prolong the life of the set screw threads.
Good idea, thanks for the tip

good point. thanks for the tip. The notch was a rough shape to keep the cycle cost down

Watching this is a pain 😂
While We are having 5 axis vice...I dont understand why you complicated it?

Дружище у тебя пятиосевой станок и ты не можешь сделать себе крепеж типа грифон?
Что за грифон?
Awesome
