- Ceramic is terrifying, but we got through it. Turns out this Macor stuff really isn't that bad.
Thanks Dr. Marv for letting me use your videos!

What do you mean you have to make money? I thought this whole machinist cosplay was just to create a persona for your pop punk project.
It's like 50-50 🤣
Your AI music always makes me laugh LOL, nice job, and thanks for sharing !
I'm glad you like it 🤣. I have so much fun making it. it's like my favorite part of making videos now
just came down here to comment this exact same thing.
Agreed. I also enjoy the mix of shorter and longer videos on the channel.
Worked in a ceramics place for a while… macor is one of the few technical ceramics you can machine without having to dive into diamond tooling. With most other ceramics, low feeds high speeds will get you there on diamond tooling, most of which where like mini diamond grinding wheels. Office/compact mills are great for this. Long run times but this usually translates into higher pricing.
For tabbing off you could use a jeweler's saw or something similar. They have very fine teeth, which would hopefully limit the chances of breakage and the creation of a cavity.
True! That's a great idea! Thanks!
there's also diamond plated wire that can be fitted in a jeweler's saw, would probably last a while on this
Adam the machinist is a great resource, I love his videos, he is such a talented machinist and intelligent guy. I wish he made more videos
I like how you explain things like you’re talking to a kid. Makes it easy and simple to follow along.
Plus your not being condescending but being genuine and excited about it
You know, that isn't intentional, but I do have three young kids, so maybe it's just habit at this point 😂
3:40 Tell me you have smoked cigarettes without telling me you have smoked cigarettes :-)
Lol, I noticed that when I was editing. The funny thing is that I've never actually smoked before.
@@AudacityMicro weird.
More machining videos please!
I promise I'll try to do more! The parts/customers I get have to cooperate with me, and sometimes I end up with long gaps, where there isn't anything worth filming.
@@AudacityMicro understood. I just really enjoy them!
Clearly this is a refractory material, it's property suite totally sucks for anything else. I'm experiencing failure of imagination on why anybody wants precision machined refractories. Obviously you can't share anything about this part and likely don't even know but your seeing a business opportunity in mastering this material. I'm a professional mechanic and spend my free time building stuff and I can't think of one thing this stuff is good for. Little help?
The parts went to the research department at a university if I remember right, so they are probably some sort of spacer for some sort of high temperature equipment. A lot of that experimental stuff is held to pretty tight tolerances to eliminate variables in the experiment. Scientists are fantastic customers, since they love to throw high tolerances on parts for no reason 😂.
Now that I have machined the material, I'm much less excited about it. I thought it would be a lot more like glass, and a lot less like chalk. But I had no way of knowing that until I actually got to test it out.
looked at the cutting speed for that material, and with carbide(uncoated) it recommend 14m/min or 45f/min, its slower than hardened steel tho the feed is similar to normal soft steel
I saw those numbers too. But I can tell you that it ran just fine cutting it faster. Not sure where those numbers came from 🤷♂️. I have to imagine they were originally intended for HSS?
@@AudacityMicro i think its only to incrase tool life and not its difficulty to cut it
its probable that on parts that you need to remove a lot of matter, if you used speeds too high you would lose precision pretty soon even if it would cut just fine in roughing cycles
I am enjoying your journey. Helps me feel like I am not alone trying to do machining jobs and projects in my shop and the frustrations and wins that come with it
Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying it!
Thanks for another vid - for real, that AI music though, that could be fun to mess with, where/how are you making it?
It's a blast 🤣. I use Suno.com. With their free plan you get five songs a day, which works for me.
Who is Adonis on discord????
Adam the Machinist. I linked his RUclips channel in my description
Hows your job board been lately, ours has taken a dump on pricing over last few weeks almost not even worth looking at
I almost never take a job at face value, so the prices they give are pretty much irrelevant. I've seen a few less of the really good parts that I love (small precision plastics) but I've seen plenty of other good jobs. I've heard other chatter that the industry is a little slow as a whole right now, with the run up to the election.
@AudacityMicro from what i heard supposedly, they increased the premium and ultra premium group size by about 30% over the last month and it's what's driving the price down not lack of work but who knows for sure what's going on
Job Board? sound like you guys are doing Xometry. that explains why you don't care about machine time. You're not biding, you just taking what's given to you or what you accept. also explains why everything is due quick and why nothing gets sent back.
Correct, I do a lot of xometry work. I don't care about cycle time because both on and off xometry, I take high value, low volume work. My value proposition is largely that I take dumb parts no one else will touch. And stuff doesn't get sent back, because I don't send out bad parts 🙂
And you do bid on xometry work, sorta. It's a less transparent process, but you can submit a counter offer. Maybe 1 in 20 jobs I take at face value? The other 19 I'm submitting my own bid. I'm probably the only person bidding on a good number of the ones I get, since again, I tend to take dumb parts no one else will touch. So 5-10x xoms original asking price is pretty normal for me.
Machining ceramic, you monster.
Full disclosure, McMaster sells this stuff under the name "easy to machine high temperature ceramic" and they aren't wrong 😂. It really wants hard to machine
I mean it is ceramic but it's more like sand and elmers glue structurally
Based on my experience, that checks out 😂.
Loving the content. Nice shop
Thanks!
Interesting material
It really is!
