    I remember from my machine design class that having set screws 180 deg apart is actually weaker and more prone to loosening than having them 120 or even 60 degrees apart. I think this was in Shigley's iirc. May not apply since you're grabbing a flat, but still a random fact of the day!

    • @dimitar4y
      @dimitar4y 6 лет назад +20

      True, since the screws are opposing eachother rather than working together; so all your holding power is solely on the threads, not by friction against a face.

    • @Gottenhimfella
      @Gottenhimfella 6 лет назад +7

      Generally true, but there's one exception: if you use them (2 @ 180) to improve the holding of a self-holding taper, and incline the flats (and the screws) in the opposite direction from the flanks of the taper, so the vector sum of the two forces is a thrust axially, tightening the grip of the taper. The slightest slip will increase the tightening effect further still.
      I've only recently come up with that idea (needing to transmit a sh*t tonne of torque without much available space) and it worked a charm.
      The key difference is that tightening the screws, progressively and in turn, does not create or retain clearance as it would with a cylindrical fit.

      @@Gottenhimfella Well, yes, if the screw is flat on it's pushy bit, it'll be useless. But if the screws point to eachother, but are off-center, and have little pyramid heads, they'll push the SIDES of the thread against the object for massive holding torque.

      @Gottenhimfella 6 лет назад +2

      @@dimitar4y That's another way. Not quite as strong as flat-ended screws set at an angle, bearing on flat "whistle notches" milled across the shaft, because your solution provides only line contact between a conical screwpoint and a conical dimple. This means the material along this line will be displaced (by yielding) at a lower torque, leaving the joint vulnerable to reversing loads.

    I had a CNC teacher many years ago (40) that only had a Bridgeport CNC mill, but taught lathe programming using it by putting the stock in the collet and clamping the tool in the vise. In this manner, it was programmed just like any other CNC lathe - tool movement perpendicular to the center line was X, tool movement parallel to the centerline was Z. At that time it was all mostly manual programming (we did use a system/language called COMPACT II using a dial-up modem to a mainframe for some "CAM" type programming).

    Connecting the motor shaft without a flexible cupling will cause the motor bearings to prematureley die because they will never be perfectly aligned to the bigger bearings and will get "directed" by them, eaven more so because its spinning very fast, you should realy implement a coupling before the expensive motor dies

      Yes true for "lathe" ops. However, a flexible coupling would not be ideal when completing indexing ops as this would reduce the rigidity between the brake (motor holding position) and the part.

Nice vids and I like your sense of humor. :-) So I hope you won't roll your eyes too much when I comment on how you pressed the bearings (maybe someone already commented about this). Bearing press @13:45 good - all pressure on the outer race. Bearing press @14:21 not good - unless you have a cylinder inside resting on the inner race to ensure the pressure is also only against the inner race and not being exerted on the bearing balls. This is especially important for the lower-cost bearing you mention, and helps greatly extend bearing life at high speed. Most ball bearings have rather low thrust load ratings, even while not moving. Another thing I think I would have done - for that flange that holds the chuck - drill some access holes in it so that the screws holding the bearing retainer can be tightened again later (or removed, if the holes are large enough), if needed. Could come in handy if that bearing needs to be replaced.

    Tony, to avoid nested turnings owing to small DOC, perhaps you could rough out part by mill turning, then single point the finish part. Say a 1/4 inch ball nose or bullnose carbide endmill in spindle bearing up against rotating part. You get the idea.

    What are the chances of doing a video on a pneumatic brake for the new add-on? :) Maybe using it as a infinite precision dividing head, and solve the holding torque issue with that brake. Maybe even using a disc brake behind the chuck and a brake jaw to lock it. Would be a lot of fun + a handy tutorial for my next build :DDDDDD Awesome vid mate!

      Electromagnetic brake would also work well. Electromagnetic so the chips fall off when the power is off.
      A pneumatic/solenoid operated pipe strap?
      Obviously this all assumes the play can't be eliminated in settings or other hardware... Contacting the motor rep/help line and finding out if the motor is capable of holding position without any lash would be my first step.

    Greetings Tony,
    I have watched several of your videos and you do good work. Especially for a hobby machinist. I have been machining for over 40 years and have built my own CNC stuff too. I started with steppers because they are open loop and this made the drivers much cheaper. But this was in the 80s and things have really changed. I too was surprised you didn't break that endmill. 3 cheers for modern micrograin carbide. Anyway, because step and direction input servo amps have become so inexpensive, as have encoders, I only use servo motors now. By adjusting the amp you can make the servo very "stiff" while still getting reasonable speeds and torque, much better than with a stepper motor. And you can get resolutions much finer without sacrificing torque. Mebbe your next CNC project should use a servo. Your Mach4 software will work just fine with one. There are even servo controllers available for the ubiquitous brushless DC hobby motors used in all sorts of RC stuff. These powerful and small motors are basically the same as AC servo motors.
    Cheers,
    Eric

      ​@@williamchamberlain2263 That's going back a long long way. From about WW2 era, acetates were used. Live recordings could be (and in boutique studios, for maximum fidelity, still are) mixed straight to a recording lathe, on which a master disc was cut. Also known as an acetate, but it was basically a layer of special lacquer on an aluminium base. More usually, the mix would be captured on magnetic tape, possibly multi-track, allowing subsequent tweaks. This could then be output as analogue signal to the toolpost of a lathe, cut to an "acetate", which was plated with metal, then used to make negative metal molds or "stamper", which in turn would stamp vinyl copies in large quantities.
      The acetate itself could be played (with very high fidelity) on a standard turntable, tone arm and stylus, but would not last long.
