Just found your channel, I really appreciate all the information you've been putting out there. I was wondering if you have any tips for machining stainless steel in general or machining fine features in stainless steel, it seems like some machinists try and avoid working with it while others don't make as big a deal about it. I like your teaching style and you're more knowledgeable than other people I've found, so any light you can shed on the subject would really be appreciated. I look forward to your future videos!
will do. is this personal experience or text book stuff? I like the concept. I read in a tooling guide to never have less stock to leave than chipload.
Personal experience! It most def improves the surface finish. Think about it. You are making a scallop with your feed per tooth. And also the step down. Think of it as a checker board where your matching the spacing horizontally and also vertically.
You give any thought to finishing that bottom to top with a .015 or .020" corner radius EM.....? i get much better finishes with corner rad end mills than ball nose mills...
Would it be possible to share the file?. Would love to give this a try on my DIY machine. Thanks in advance, got the CNC to make my own 200mm nitro onroad RC car.
Ball mills like the bottom up tool path so you remove most of the material with the side of the flute rather than the tip
That was great, thanks for the info on speeds and feeds.
I paused the video and looked around my shop at 0:48 lol

Try matching the tools feed per tooth and your step down.

Does the patreon still exist? I was looking for it the other day
That was impressive!

yeah for sure....this video couldve been an hour long....i ran 3 different tool paths with two different feeds and speeds
What was the step down and step over for the steep and shallow?

No coolant?
