Would love to hear more detail right from the get go about what tools you’re using, materials, speeds and feeds, depth of cut, step over, maybe showing the cad and cam, etc. I know it takes a lot more work but it would make the watch much more worth while so i feel like I’ve gained knowledge by seeing your perspective on things and what’s going on in your head while programming or setting up. Love the video quality tho and getting to see it from start to finish! Keep it up! See you in the next video!
badass video! I just now realized I load my tools in a weird way. It looked like you loaded all the tools for the job into the mill and then probed the tool length. I usually put a tool in and measure the tool length before loading the next tool (that's how the haas tech showed me how to load tools for a job).
I came from machining as a hobby so I'm sure I'm not following best practices a lot! Thanks for showing us how you set everything up! I love learning via youtube.@@dnamfg

Ive been a welder/fabby for thirty years, I hate it. For the last year Ive been learning/training in a mill that looks the same as this one. exact same 4th axis and 20 tool changer. The one I use is bigger I think but hard to tell on screen. I forget the name but the software is FANUC
Nice work. How did you pick up the x-axis coordinate for the work offset when you had the piece upright for the large diameter bores? You showed the probe getting Y, and the Z would be straightforward, but it seems getting the x isn’t so simple. Did you get it with the probe after determining the Y center and then probe off the curved surfaces? I do that all too often, but it never seems ideal.
From one machinist to another, files are a one way tool. They dull faster when drug backwards. Carbide doesn't like 2 things, mechanical shock and thermal shock. Make your first pass conventional when dealing with flame cut. (.060" into the work is hardened from the flame) Having the cutting edge enter the soft material first then exit the harder material will increase tool life (Both HSS and Carbide.) I know that turning off coolant makes for an excellent shot, it's when the coolant is turned back on that the carbide gets micro cracks from thermal shock, thus reducing tool life. In creating the soft jaws or any fixturing where you locate on radii or an angle terminating into a radius, eliminate the radius in the fixture or the area where the X or Y axis changes direction. Without the G187 P3 E.005 on the finish pass (Haas only) the axis will start and stop aprox. .025" from the actual transition point, therefore the male and female radii will not match and cause the part to rock. My rule of thumb was to eliminate that feature in the fixture up to .050" from the transition points to avoid this. @ 14:16, make the radius on the solid jaw either larger or just a flat leaving space that way you avoid the mismatch and locate exactly each time. You're making some good looking parts tho! A testament to your teacher.
Question (not a critisism) Would it have been possible to dovetail the metal and do it in one setup using the 4th axis? Then cut off the dovetail of course.
Both things you mentioned have to do with making sure the work piece is clamped properly. The file is for removing high spots left on the edges. Tapping it down is bc the movable jaw in the vise will lift the work ever so slightly, and tapping it sets it back into place
Jack Support your vice overhangs and internal profiles when machining ops 3&4
Great video format! It would be great to see more of your Fusion programming (feeds/speeds/cut sizes). Looking forward to the next. 🇬🇧
Thanks for bringing us along for another video.
It's good to watch some nice straightforward machining on a 3 Axis Mill 😊👍
Appreciate that 🙌
sweet beam ends, I appreciate your attention to detail, with quality like that the business will always come
Thanks man!
Nice job on those parts, very impressive. Now I got to get a couple rakes for my mills.
Your a real good machinist mate! I have my own shop with 2 vmc and i see myself in your video! You're a logical guy keep it up!
Appreciate that! Thanks for the support 🤝
You might already know this,but I keep the movable jaw snug not loose,it helps keep lift to a minimum
The interpolation with that end mill on that last op has a definate pucker factor clearence is clearence.

Love your Videos, would like to see something about your programming and workholding. "How to make the soft jaws"
Keep up the good work :)
Hey. Hope you keep uploading from time to time. Love your stuff. Greetings from Germany

Just find it easier that way, but it’s all about what works for you!

Cool video. I have a Question, what equipment do you use for the POV angle/camera?
Good job! Cheers from Belgium
Great Work......im thinkin Housing Knuckles for a 4wd..what do they weight?
good work!
Ford I-Beam ends for prerunner front suspension, cause real men use A-arms to race in the desert lol, awesome work bud
Bro this is a good video, saludos desde argentina🙌🏼
Nice work! ❤
awesome video man!!! should do some programming videos!
Thinking maybe for the next video 🤔
Nice work man 👍
Thanks..
Please enable the subtitle feature in videos.
Where did you get the soft jaws prepackaged? I was super confused when I saw you ripping them open. Great video, always cool to see prototyping!

Companies that make vice jaws and lathe jaws are able to sell them for so cheap that sometimes it's hard to justify setting up to do that yourself.

I picked up off the left edge bc I knew I could pick up the same surface for both ops

hell yeah
Nice Video, how long did it take to make these parts?
Thanks, it took 2 days total!
Question (not a critisism) Would it have been possible to dovetail the metal and do it in one setup using the 4th axis? Then cut off the dovetail of course.
i couldn’t tell from the angle but it appeared to me that the part may have been wider than the swing of the 4th.
This part was a bit too big for the 4th axis and the setup that was currently on there
Sounds good. Thank you for the reply. Great video!
Hi from Germany 🇩🇪
What kind of steel was that?
A36 just for prototyping the welded assembly, the final material will probably be 4130
Which material is it?
A36 steel
@@dnamfg thanks!
Is this precision engineering or me blind?😅😅😅 Hmmmm..I have no words.
Non machinist here. Why do you file the peace before putting it in the machine and why do you smack it with a mallet?
Both things you mentioned have to do with making sure the work piece is clamped properly. The file is for removing high spots left on the edges. Tapping it down is bc the movable jaw in the vise will lift the work ever so slightly, and tapping it sets it back into place
Bro wtf was that a rake 😂 dude thats a $80k machine 😂
I always have a little broom on top of mine just for chips
That's a premium Hass chip removal tool. Available with annual subscription
We use rakes in $800,000 machines. If it works it works
@@brendanmmannno dude 😭, get a broom only for the machine , it scrapes the f outa the paint
