We've been clamping turning tools for years as a great way to modify tool holders. I'll never forget the look of horror when I took the idea into a new company (a company without proper machinists before I got there). This is a great set up though and something I've considered -- all except for the mounting of a chuck so thanks for that :)
I really need to get going on a project like this for my tool room mill because mistakes were made and I didn't buy a lathe for my milling shop before getting started. Some tool holders for my angle plate would probably do the job in conjunction with the horizontal spindle. Good job and the part came out nice!
im pretty sure the top side of a turning tool shank is on the same plane as the cutting edge, that would mean you can zero your y axis either on the shank or on the holder you made
very cool. id imagine the programming was more time consuming than the build ( loading and saving all the offsets for the tooling , the chuck face and so on
🤔 Now I'm thinking... a rotary attachment on the x-axis table with multiple tool clamps - (a vertical CNC Lathe automatic tool changer)... rotated into position via a servo motor, probably with some kind of mechanical air-assist locking mechanism... a kind of indexing plate to lock everything in.
Please for the love of god, do not spin up chucks that fast with nothing clamped in the chuck. The scroll can unwind and send the jaws flying. I have seen this happen 2 times on high speed CNC lathes.
@@advanceair buy another tool holder, something like a threaded body tool holder, or something with a lot of "meat" in and near the taper portion and turn the holder for an adapter directly on the spindle, then it'll be perfectly concentric.
You make building and getting this stuff to work together look to easy.

So cool, could you also make a video of the cam/programming side
I’ll be using this on my next project, I’ll cover Cam part of it on that video
@@advanceair cool, im looking forward too it ;)
The Chuck is scary as hell but nice video!
It’ is ! and it so unnatural lol
Another great installment Vince👍👍
Thx Drew
very good video vince..thanks for your time
Thank you
Nicely done ! 👍🏼👏🏼
Nice work. Is wonderfull. How do you realize the program in the cam software?. How do you take references for the tools, etc?

You are right. Thank you.
@@advanceair No problem :) I should add that for boring bars the cutting edge is on the center if the flats on the shank are dialed in
DON"T SPIN THE CHUCK WITH NOTHING IN IT!! It's very dangerous, the chucks can come lose and fly everywhere! Be safe!
Great video. Thanks for sharing :-) Regards form Italy, Florence
Thank you
Wow, that is very impressive.
Please, what is the code of this insert?! Your videos are great! Congratulations
How to set my cordinate system? Do I need to make a custom post processor?
omg, that why people so intelligent
Did you build this mill too? If not what mill is it?
how does your spindle spin at such low RPM. I thought those type of spindles had a much higher minimum speed.
This is 5.5kw very large spindle. I can run it as low as 900rpm
very cool. id imagine the programming was more time consuming than the build ( loading and saving all the offsets for the tooling , the chuck face and so on
Like you are the best!
But can you cut concentric threads on a rifle barrel?
Hello,
What material have you used for the fixture plate?
Thank you.
You are the bestttt

Don’t put that kind of ideas in my head! Lol
very good idea
what cam system?

I have flat ring inside it 👍🏻
@@advanceair 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dont you think a guy who build machines like this knows best what to do?
@@julikb No, not always.
@@StreuB1 Also not always advisors are right.In this case for example.He said how he did it.
👍
How to program this?
I will show it on next video
Thanks 😀🙏
wow
500 RPM on an empty chuck.. don't do this at home kids! Maybe you should now make a mounting plate with a direct mount for your spindle?
There is a flat washer inside the chuck. Would love to make direct mount to it at some point just need to figure out how to

@@daboyakasha101 Working on something like that :)
