    ok. so ive seen a bunch of people complaining about the backlash on the x and y. the big mills have backlash too. what you want to is either move it x+ or x- right up to your correct dimension. and if you're right up on it and you stopped before you got there and theres backlash you need to go in the opposite direction and then re-approach it and stop exactly on your mark. and then it will be accurate. thats how the backlash works.
    reference, i'm a mechanical/electrical engineer in an r&d department that uses cnc mills and regular knee mills. (bridgeport, grizzly, and WEN) bout every day. and i also have a heavy background in welding/metal fabrication/ machining/ cnc operation and programming. before i became an engineer.
    then you really need your vise properly indexed. it just helps keep your part square if you can get stock with square sides from the steel mill

    This drill and mill is very versatile for general machining. Like the way you reverse mount the hex bolt for machining. Saw a bit of vibration of the spindle frame during a drilling process. You can reinforce it by adding some machined parts.

  • @rzograbian
    @rzograbian 10 лет назад

    btw, the Sine vice refers to the trigonometric sine function (relation of the opposite over the hypotenuse) which would make sense since adjusting the angle lengthens the opposite side.. Great review by the way! Im going to buy one for a CNC conversion. great video thanks!!

  • @CncObsession
    @CncObsession 10 лет назад +5

    Hold the bolt farther up in the collet for less stickout. This will increase rigidity and achieve as better cut. Also try using a steel v block instead of a soft jaw, for the same reason. Rigidity. Otherwise have fun.

      you're right, and that's a very unorthodox way to take down the diameter of a bolt head, but it worked. I've never even seen that! We all always see lathes pressed into milling service. Now I just need to see turning on a shaper :o)

    Boring bar as a tool holder? Well, it does hold a cutting tool, so why not? He says that what he demonstrated was what a boring bar was used for (31:04 - "That is how that tool is used". But that is one way to do some turning in a pinch if no lathe is available. Nice honest assessment of the milling machine and related tools, clamps, etc. one might need.

    When buying these mills, one of the best mods you can do is replace the plastic gears with a belt drive. system and install a 3 axis DRO. Other than that, these are fine machines and can produce quality work, so long as you understand their capabilities and don't try to exceed them.

    • @turbocobra
      @turbocobra  8 лет назад

      +rdsii64 Yep, your right. I stripped the teeth off the drive gears not long after I got it and did a 3HP brushless motor upgrade and belt drive. I have beat the crap out of this machine since then and it's worked well.

  • @BigJsgarage
    @BigJsgarage 10 лет назад +2

    When you were using the face mill the first and third pass you were feeding the material the wrong direction. On a manual you should feed the material so the cutter is trying to push the material away from it.The backlash could jerk the material in and break your inserts.

    • @turbocobra
      @turbocobra  10 лет назад

      So do you reverse spindle direction on each pass ?

    • @BigJsgarage
      @BigJsgarage 10 лет назад +3

      No, The spindle has to spin clockwise for that tool. you would feed the material from the left side of cutter on all three passes like you did on second pass.I guess the best to help you understand is google climb cutting and conventional cutting.

    I had to laugh when he showed his collet set, and said "set of 12 collets cost about $100, not exactly cheap". Try looking at just about any set of real collets in the MSC catalog and see if you think $100 is not cheap.

  • @TheWreckingYard
    @TheWreckingYard 10 лет назад

    Nice mill, lots of people have converted that unit to CNC, checkout cnczone , com, alot of great info there. And for tools try Shars for the cheaper stuff that's good enough quality, KBC tools has top quality tools (at high prices) and store branded tools that are pretty reasonably priced. Also there's Enco tools, but I've never bought anything from them, so no comment on them. Supporting the ends of the plate you were facemilling with machinist's jack may help with the chatter.

    • @turbocobra
      @turbocobra  10 лет назад

      Thanks Ron, yea I have been on the cnczone forums, will get into it more once I convert to cnc. I have a couple of shard tools, the face mill cutter is shars, I also bought a couple things from enco, I don't like their website, but their customer service is awesome

    Dude.... buy a lathe. It will change your life. Also, for your experimentation, check the tax code. You can deduct a lot of experimentation costs. I don't know why I'm telling you this via the intertubes but I have the impression that you would be able to take advantage.

  • @jstephenallington8431
    @jstephenallington8431 4 года назад

    As you might have figured out by now, you're running far too high RPM's. Lower RPM's will take out a lot of the chatter, and your inserts will last longer too. So, slow down there, Speed Demon! (p.s. as someone else mentioned , clamping straight to the table would most likely work a little better. just start with all the clamps on one side, mill the other, when you're done, just move the clamps over to the finished side, one at a time, then finish the side that was under the clamps. easy.)

  • @consaka1
    @consaka1 9 лет назад

    Can this mill a head off a light truck?

    • @turbocobra
      @turbocobra  9 лет назад

      +consaka1 Well it's possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. Usually milling a head is milled with a large fly cutter that can sweep the entire with of the head in a single pass. You can usually have heads milled for $150 or so, probably best to pay the money for that by a professional machine shop. Just my $.02

    • @consaka1
      @consaka1 9 лет назад

      turbocobra Yeah but I like to play around with my own stuff. Id use the mill to clean all the old gasket off. lol and to just kiss the metal to see if anything is out of flat. Shops seem to just hog a big chunk out that then requires special gaskets.

My machine runs 12-14 hour days. Its made back its investment and enough to buy a newer larger mill from grizzly.

      Keep look out up here and if you see something you like I would be more than willing to some how help you.\
      The best deals are at the scrap yard. People dont know what they are or have no room.

    For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
    16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
    20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:14-21
