fantastic video

Very nice!

very nice!

BEAUTIFUL

FANTASTIC!

Thats nice

So cool!

nice!

awesome!!! if only i won tatts id have a haas sitting in the garage.. hehe

I'm brand new to the whole world of machining and hopefully starting work at a small job shop in a few weeks with family. I'm not a machinist and I'm not familiar with machining or CNC work, but at the beginning of the video - the red matchstick looking dude that comes down and checks the metal - is that the CNC machine indicating the part? I'm doing as much reading and video-watching as I can to get familiar with this fascinating career.

Damn. That gave me a woody.

the problem with altin is that aluminum is in the coating and that the cutter will load up with material over time. zrn coated is best for aluminum. razorsharpgrindingcom is where i get all my cutters. check out their prices on aluminum cutters.

Now make one out of 304 stainless! ;-)

Hi Charles, thanks for the comment. A high-helix non-coated three flute end mill would be idea for 6061 aluminum like that being machine here, but it's not what was used for this part. Both of the half inch end mills you see in the first two operations are AlTiN coated 4 flutes, one rougher and one finisher. They're more suited for ferrous materials, but with sufficient lubrication and reduced feeds they did well enough!

Impressive - love the probe setting! want one for my TM-1

I've been machining and programming for the last 20 Years another 10 years manual machining. You obviously know what you're Doing

Thanks Jon!

damn smooth thread

TM-1P?

That is a Renishaw probe. It is setting the part origin location within the machine. This can be done manually as well!

How about sending me that file, and tool list... lol-Seriously though, great work, well thought out. Haas TM-2P, probing daily

Thats god damn beautiful.

The speed is amazing! Quite the machine you have Jon

Ahh man, could have let me go and I woulda believed it. Do you run a shop?

Are you still machining?

4 flute AlTin coated carbide. Certainly not idea for aluminum but it did the trick!

Nice job.

It's a half inch chamfer tool, and there is a 1/8" lip between the edge of the grip and the thread boss. Impossible to deburr all the way around the part. Plus, once the part is flipped it's not longer is proper alignment. The machine just knows it's round, it doesn't know exactly how the finger wells of the cap are oriented without building new soft jaws that locate it.

Thank you!

Man that's nice!

can you tell me about the threadmilling tool you are using and who supplies it? Thanks Gerald

Can't remember where it came from. It's just a single-point 3/4" thread mill. Should be able to find one from your favourite supplier!

Never blow chips during a tool change, add a M01 after the tools run when your spindle is occupied to clean if you're having trouble with running over chips.

No, it's fine to blow chips off during a tool change. I do it every day and no problems.

It's a bad idea to blow chips around during a tool change, they get between the toolholder and spindle and cause tool runout and possibly spindle and tool holder damage. Aluminum isn't as bad as steel, but still a bad idea. A M01 in the program is one option, or setting 42 can be enabled on Haas machines to automatically halt after every tool change and resume by pressing cycle start.

G53X0Y0Z0 Keeping the program time down is probably worth it in most instances for a lot of machinists. But yes, chips in the spindle taper bore are bad. Doesn't mean most guys don't still do it.

If you are using CAD/CAM software, and I believe you are, then you might be able to customize the post to add a M01 after or right before every tool change. If you can't do that, then it doesn't take long to manually add it to programs. Setting 42 is still a good option if you have it, and is what I use when I want to pause the program after the tool changes. Normally I don't worry about it except for proving out a program. My machines have enough coolant flow and pressure to flush the chips from the parts, and we usually are machining many pieces in each cycle and we let the machine run without close supervision. One strategy is to choose the order of operations to help ensure coolant gets to where you want. On the second operations of your oil filler cap, machining the inner bore first would leave a wider flat to help funnel more coolant volume to the cutter. Also, a nozzle on the coolant line might help increase the velocity and remove more of the chips, but I suspect it was removed because you have an open machine a coolant sprayed all over.

Why was the thread milled from the bottom to the top?

@JonProce

To maintain a conventional machining direction after going from an outside thread to an inside thread. If it had gone from top to bottom it would have been climb milling.

@therubbersidedown

Jon Proce You've got that backwards unless your cutter is spinning CCW. Both of the threads you milled you climb cut.

@JonProce

I meant to say climb milling in my previous post. Climb cut is typical on a ball-screw CNC as the backlash is practically eliminated. "Conventional" milling is typically only used on manual machines. 

cool part - you just need a thread relief on the cap so it can bottom out nice and tight!

先生你好、你加工刀路很棒，我想问你是用什么软件编程出来那么优秀的作品、 Hello sir, you machining tool path is great, I want to ask you what software programming so excellent works,

Nice work! I noticed some of the video is sped up. Are the machining portions of the video actual speed? What were some of the feeds and rpm rates?

Very nice. Did you anodize the finished item?

Nice work Jon! What kind of end mill are you using milling the first operation. Is it a high helix two or three flute carbide?

When you wish your tm was a vf so you just speed up the video 😂👌

Great work. Have you used any CAM software to program it?

2003 TM1

Beautiful! What coolant do you run? Thanks, Mark

Did you do one run on the threads?

wow this is nice! have you tried making parts trapezoidal threads?

This is impressive! Do you own this mill personally or do you get the benefit of working at a company which allows you to use it. Lately iv been thinking about investing in one of the HAAS smaller machines! Love the capabilities of these. Now I just need to find a product to make to justify the purchase! Well great video man, keep up the good work and make some more machining videos for us!

I'm lucky enough to have a good friend with whom I spend a lot of time who owns the machine. The investment isn't TOO out of this world when you're shopping around for older machines, but they're still quite expensive! Let me know if you find that magic product that pays off the machine. Been searching for that for years ;)

What a lucky guy! Free use of CNC is a dream for me, haha. Looking at the TM series HAAS machines, they really are not too expensive. Especially shopping for a used machine like you said. Do you see much advantage of the TM-1 vs. the TM-1P, looks to be the only difference between the two are the rapids. On a side note, would you be willing to do some prototype services for me? Let me know.

+ChromedOutDubs Look at a Hurco VM-1 or VM-10, same machine just changed model numbers when they went from 16 to 20 station ATC. The Hurco Control is a breeze to program. The New control OS can do Limited Engagement (High Speed) tool paths with conversational programming. And many older machines can be updated to the latest version. Hurco USA has a KZread channel, you should check it out.

Hi Jon, since Haas TM1 can do 12 inches at Y Axis, does that mean that's the maximum diameter I can mill on a piece is 12"? Or I can do bigger pieces? Thanks

@JonProce

10 жыл бұрын

Maximum diameter would be 12". You could do wider than 12 though. Keep in mind the table only MOVES 12", so the usable work envelope has to account for the width of the tool. That max size you can actually machine may actually be around 10 or 11 at the most.

do u have plans for this????

how much is this vid sped up? nice cap btw.

beautiful work, I would like to know few about, how can I ask with u?

Jon, I want this product in my store, What company makes this?

HSMWorks : )
