You're right about watching CNC's cut threads, even after doing 100's of thousands of them, in brass mind you which you can do at pretty high speeds. A year or so before I retired, I bought 2 little Taiwanese CNC's that had a 4 station programable tail stock which allowed me to do an internal and external thread at the same time, now that was something to behold, it was a mind-blowing program to run it though. Nice external finish on your parts. 👍
Thanks to Luke for helping out, yet again.....wait a minute...I see what you did there. Mark actually managed to return a favour.😁 CNC machinery never fails to impress me, especially seeing as this particular machine was {re}built in a basement. Another great video👍
Ouch munching that chip clearing tool into the thread! 😬 Suggestion; raid the kitchen drawer for a silicone spatula, usually they have a little plastic handle and a silicone rubbery spatula, small spoon sized type (but flat). Probably about 25mm by 40mm silicone part but if you still need smaller than that you can just trim with a knife. Very safe chip clearing tool. 👍
Marc, I’m a long time viewer and every time I see one of your videos I immediately click. I love your commentary and your editing has such a relaxing vibe that I adore. Your channel is criminally underviewed and I hope you continue doing this. Hi Luke 😁 ps. Your comment game is A tier my friend!
Morning Mark and hello Luke, great to see you guys helping each other out again and to see some Schaublin action! Have a good week and thanks for the video.
Nice vid guys. Now you have ironed out the steps, time to crank out another couple of hundy parts! But you only need 1 of each size. Having the cnc for the crowning is definitely a great to have!!
I'm very familiar with those crunching sounds. I have done my fair share of goof ups lately as well. Definitely jealous of the surface finish on those parts.
All my cnc lathe experience has been an exercise in faith. To avoid the bird nesting you need to increase feed or depth to make a chip that breaks. With CSS its worth doing some tests and then watch the magic happen
Hi Peter, Not yet. When I bought it, it had been sitting for a couple of decades with a dead controller. It had previously been run with cutting oil, which had hardened to varnish. The ballscrews would not even turn until I stripped it all down and cleaned the snot out. I just haven't got around to stripping and cleaning the tool changer, and will also have a fair bit of work to get it under LinxCNC control. Cheer, Mark
HSS parting in steel is horrible. I wasn't a bit surprised when it snapped off. What about Starship ?! How did that tattered flap hang on and still work? It reminded me of pictures I've seen of an A10 that had been hit by a missile and still managed to land.
I was most surprised that it didn#t snap off. It only needed a little honing. Yeah, I watched it live and was blown away when it made it all the way down to the final hover burn. Amazing adaptive control.
Yep, looks like you're still human! Spent the night once in Wien... Had an connecting flight overlay and spent the evening in the 'downtown' area (Stephansplatz). We considered taking the Ubahn back to the airport, but they all felt afraid when they saw that long, deep escalator! 😅 Americans
@@RotarySMP This was 20 years ago. One of the others was told we could take the train back to the hotel so I knew an 'umsteigen' would have to happen. I doubt any of them had ever been on a train.
Always good to see you doing work an the Schaublin. Really curious about the HMI tha allows you to do changes almost on the fly i assume it makes live a lot easier. Great video nice pully thank you for sharing.
Human machine interface? The Schaublin uses the Gmoccapy interface for LinuxCNC. Is that what you meant? Remember this is a three evening compressed into 16 minutes. A lot of it is editing :)
yess ……. i assume you design the part in fusion, post the toolpath to Linux CNC and then have an hmi (andy piu) that alows you to do minor changes on the fly instead of rewriting the whole toolpath? ……… as yiu said time time flies by …….really apreciate you sharing and documanting it in an entertaining way ……i assume editing is at least as hard as machining if you want it to be entertaining 🥳

re: "can't get the end diameter right" - could you make it a little long (cone too wide), then trim down the correct fraction of a mm to get it spot on? re: cnc threads - i didn't realize the angular control part was good enough to reliably do that ...
That would work, but only if you get the small end pretty close. The lathe spindle has a Heidenhain encoder slaved to it, and LinuxCNC syncs to that. It is extremely accurate, and you could turn the spindle with a hand crank, and it would making the pitch with completely unstable spindle RPM.
To use a manual machine to get the taper concentric with the outside, and with the correct outside diameter, could you make the entire part over-length and with the correct outside diameter and then flip it around and then face it down until the taper diameter is correct? Your facing cut would not be perfectly concentric, but you don't care. Then face down the other end to get the part to the correct overall length. (EDIT: Oh, I watched further and I see that the pulley is crowned, yes that makes it more tricky).
Luke and I had a chat about it. You'd start by setting the top slide angle and setting it to a defined zero point in it's travel. then set up a clock on both cross slide and bed, so that you have a repeatable location. Make a test part, blue it, and try it on the grinder spindle. Adjust and repeat as required.

Internal and external in a single pass would be cool to watch.
Thanks. I probably should have changed out the insert for the internal finishing pass.
It's so awesome to see the Schaublin just doing its thing, it's been quite a journey. Amazing work as always Marc!
Thanks a lot. It is a great machine.
Thanks for the Picture in Picture of the macros running. It helped to visualize it.
I quite like doing that. I had plenty of footage from the multiple set up and test runs to get it dialed in.
You make my Sundays better.
Hi Ken, thanks for the kind feedback. Have a nice day.

Thanks for watching it. It was nice to make a part which Luke would have probably found a way to make faster in his well equipped workshop :)

Love that CNC thread cutting. Thanks for another great video. - Heather
Thanks Heather.
Shiny! 😎 Nice project 👍. It’s rewarding to see the Schaublin deliver.
Thanks, I am glad how it is working.
What a fantastic project. I can only imagine the pucker factor your felt through all this. 👍👍😎👍👍
Hi Joel, yeah, especially parting, as I still have little feel for the right feeds and speeds there.
Wow those are beautiful. That bird nesting reminded me of this time it wrapped around my hand releasing this strange red liquid.
Ouch, that sounds awful. I hope it didn't do any tendon damage.
Fortunately it was superficial. Just an early (1991) lesson.
Morning Mark and hello Luke, great to see you guys helping each other out again and to see some Schaublin action! Have a good week and thanks for the video.
Thanks for dropping by John. Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice vid guys. Now you have ironed out the steps, time to crank out another couple of hundy parts! But you only need 1 of each size. Having the cnc for the crowning is definitely a great to have!!
Yeah, that is the problem with CNC in the home shop :)
I stopped breaking parting tools when i started making side to site cuts it, it gives a heck of a lot more relief to the tool.
Yeah, I need to think about automating that tool path creation.
Wow, so mesmerizing to watch, especially the threading!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks a lot for helping me out with this. you sure made it look easy with a cnc lathe :)
Hi Luke, the magic of non-linear editing :)
@@RotarySMP Well it sure was fun
@@LCalleja I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the Myford.
@@RotarySMPhopefully not the broom handle :)
Sweet! Now you need a CNC Greasing Adapter 😎
Yeah, good one :)
G'day Mark, G'day Luke! Thanks for the great start to Sunday.
Thanks Vince, you as well.
Have to work at the day job this weekend. Thx for posting these videos!
Glad you enjoyed it Mike.
Nice to see the Schaublin doing its thing!
I need to use it more, but am currently on a welding trip.
I'm very familiar with those crunching sounds. I have done my fair share of goof ups lately as well. Definitely jealous of the surface finish on those parts.
The Schaublin really is a tight machine mechanically.
Nice, a collaboration project. Always fun to do.
Hi Michel. Yeah, do this with Luke.
All my cnc lathe experience has been an exercise in faith. To avoid the bird nesting you need to increase feed or depth to make a chip that breaks. With CSS its worth doing some tests and then watch the magic happen
Yeah, that is good advice. I tend to jump between jobs - I am on a welding trip at present - and have not really learnt any machine well.
gWizard has been an amazing resource. It will help a lot with the Maho as well
Hi Luke ! that steel has a very nice finish once the feed rate and depth of cut was worked out.
It really does. It was EN24, which I think is 4340.
Does the turret not work on that machine. Why not setup all the tools in the other stations?
Hi Peter, Not yet. When I bought it, it had been sitting for a couple of decades with a dead controller. It had previously been run with cutting oil, which had hardened to varnish. The ballscrews would not even turn until I stripped it all down and cleaned the snot out.

Bonjour Marc,
Hello from Belgium
Isn't time to get the tool changer working ? 😊😊
I enjoy your videos .
G'day Constantin. How are you doing?
Yeah, you are right, but I am kind of on a welding trip at the moment :) Will get to it soon hopefully.
Great video as always.What CAM are you using for the lathe?
Thanks, That is a 21 year version of Feature cam.

That is pretty funny. Also the U-bahn doesn't go to the airport. You need to change to the S7 commuter train at Wien Mitte :)

Thread cutting is concerning anyway, CNC thread cutting is terrifying!!! Very nice finish on the crown, is it called.
I sped it up a lot, but the first time you run the tool path, there is a pucker factor :)
I need a friend in the states with a CNC lathe. I'm a chump doing everything by hand. 😂
They really are a handy tool.
To steal one of the comments on This Old Tony's channel: Drop everything, it's RotarySMP!
Thanks a lot Willem :)
Beautiful work. Is the soundtrack necessary, thanks
Luke an I were talking a lot, and sped up, sounded bad, so the music was to cover that.
Good to see the schaublin in action:) Nice video! Is that FreeCad?
That is an ancient (21 year old) version of FeatureCAM. It works well on the lathe, and made a post processor for it.
@@RotarySMP ahh. Always watching for different CAM for the rotary axis on my LCNC gantry router. F360 is crippled unless you buy the mfg add-ons…

Unfortunately not. I keep encouraging him to make videos, as he does really cool projects and workmanship.
