Thats nice work. Find the right workholding and a good orientation and you can hit 90% of the features in one setup! Good compromise on surface machining the round, that machine makes quick work of it!
Oakwood Machine Works Sometime after I asked that question I'm pretty sure I saw a comment from S2Jesse on a different video saying he got a Haas. I don't remember which model though.
It rough because imported machines also have to deal with currency fluctuations so what would be $100k is now $105k if the dollar drops 5%. This machine, with the fast 4th axis crested over 100k when I bought it in 2016. The rotary itself was 15k if I remember right. It isn't cheap, but run right, they are super productive.
Look, man. I'm an introvert, but it's just a phone call or email away.😂 To be honest, Brother's target market is serious production. They'll sell to anyone, but the pain point they're trying to resolve is the fastest, most economical production, in the smallest floorspace. You're buying these on capability first, with price being a secondary consideration. Frankly, if you're not going to run the nuts off these machines day and night, there are cheaper options. (Haas is not actually a toy for toddlers, despite what many obnoxious commenters say.) It's best to think of these as process machines instead of general ones. (However, the new controllers hint towards a pivot of attracting the home-garage shops. Which, honestly, is a smart move. The size and lower current requirements of these machines are worth the extra shekels for those with such limitations. And, if such customers are ambitious and successful, there's really no need to "upgrade" to a different brand to produce their products.)
Bought a used sub plate that had all the 1/2-13 inserts in it, had it ground and then added the Orange Vise receivers as well as some Speedloc receiver to take small fixture plates and also other vises.
Fischer977, The rotary axis is a better way to do it. It keeps everything related to itself so there is no mis-loading in a fixture or vise. I used to do this 2 or 4 at a time in multiple vises but it quadrupled the handling time. The machine is so fast that it is faster and more productive, plus a more accurate part to do them 1 at a time. For a $50 part, that is pretty darn fast to make it.

I just wish more companies would give a ballpark cost estimate on their website for these machines...

Why the face mill for first tool? Nothing left of those 8 passes?
No high preassure coolant, nor coolant through spindle? Those would boost the productivity in that machine
it is plumbed for CTS, and I have a motor and pump set up but have not installed it yet.
Hi, What is your first tool for roughing? That is impressive roughing.
Have you thought about adding a Spidercool nozzle?
The flow is turned way down on this so that I could film. I don't think this machine needs one but I have tossed around putting one on the old Fadal.
Which face mill are you using at the end where you are prepping the stock for the second operation? Also, what brand and model is your rotary?
Sankyo rotary
What was that last tool? Facemill? Or a nylon deburr brush of some sort?
It is from Brush Research Mfg or BRM. it is to debur the dovetail so it doesn't get hung up loading onto the 4th.
awesome sauce. who made the subplate?
Bought a used sub plate that had all the 1/2-13 inserts in it, had it ground and then added the Orange Vise receivers as well as some Speedloc receiver to take small fixture plates and also other vises.
Should up that tap too 5000rpm
why don't you machine 10 each time? you can make a fixture with dovetails, you run so fast ,but make just one each time...
