TAKING A PROTOTYPE INTO CNC PRODUCTION

Today, we're taking a prototype part I machined in a previous video (Tri-handle) and putting into small scale production. I designed and programmed this using Mastercam 2018, and ran it inside my Haas Automation VF2 vertical mill, alongside my Haas Automation ST20 lathe.
Thank you for watching!

Nice job Ian!
I like to prototype out of CRS too. It's cheap and easy on the cutters. We have a patent pending on a wire EDM work holding tool called "Multi Axis alignment Tool" I did all the prototype in CRS. It was a good thing because of all the changes I made before the final product would have cost a lot if we prototype in 440C stainless steel.

Whenever possible, I actually usually prototype out of aluminum because I've got a ton of it sitting around and it's so quick and easy to do - but in this case, I wanted to functionally test the prototype, so I needed the strength of CRS! I'm interested in seeing the EDM tool - I'm actually just headed down to the floor at the moment to replace some switches on my Sodick!
Hi Ian,
Here is a RUclips video of our product. ruclips.net/video/0B8w81xgTQM/видео.html
Good looking product. Maybe knurl the two handles.
Thank you! I thought about it - I honestly like it smooth, but a light knurl is still on the table for sure.
Dude your channel has help me as a machinist so much , with a year under my belt you extended my knowledge so much it the short time I’ve been subscribed thanks a million
Hey man thanks for watching, I’m glad it’s been of help! If you ever need help with anything, feel free to give me a shout brother!
Let's Machine will do brother 🤘🏼
Looks nice! Just curious, what was the hole in the top crossbar for? I thought maybe it was to attach it to the bar, however I noticed when you were using it, it dropped right off the bar ? I like the button head bolts too, gives it a clean smooth appearance.

That hole is so you can connect a caribeaner (sp?) to it and use it on cable rows, close grip pull downs, and the like!
I noticed that you have 3 different files for the same job. Have you ever though about using view sheets and putting all your tool paths in the same file, just under separate toolpath groups?
Yup! I often do it - sometimes I don’t, no real rhyme or reason to it. Having them all in the same file is usually best though, you’re right!
Hello Ian, liked the video on the tri-bar, curious to know. Have you ever tried to create a 3d toolpath on the hole in the round stock in the mill after drilling?
If you wanted to go a little more lighter with the type of material and maintain its strength try titanium( you can get titanium hardware as well) Cost would increase though. Just a thought.
Thanks for the video.
Titanium would be killer!! I'm not sure I follow - if you mean a helical toolpath with an endmill after drilling, I actually do do that to clean it up. Thanks for watching!
Sorry Ian, what I had meant to say is to chamfer the hole using a 3d chamfer toolpath. email me at gregorbrown66@gmail.com, so I can send you a Mastercam X9,2017,2018 file on the toolpath I'm referring about. Let know what file you prefer.
Oh I understand what you're saying - I'd still love to see it though! Feel free to shoot it over to me at letsmachine@gmail.com - I've never done it but I'm interested in seeing how you do it! I've got Mastercam 2018 so I can open just about anything
