Break it down to simple shapes and figure out how to hold the part firmly and accurately to complete your next step. It will take some time for you to see how you would accomplish this kind of task but it can be done and you'll learn a lot along the way. Next to the knee mill the bandsaw is an important tool. I remember making adaptor flanges for a transmission shop, drilling 0.750" holes through the 11" block and brazing a 0.625" blade through the hole. Then take the block and blade and install it into the bandsaw, 9 hours later you have your exterior hogged out shape ready to be sliced and finished in a jig mounted to a rotary table for your mounting surfaces.

I can't imagine the level of concentration you have to maintain over 23 machining hours, knowing that the slightest error could junk this part. You have my highest appreciation of the machinists art!

I'm getting cold sweats remembering trying to mill an FSAE upright on an ancient Emco F1 CNC training mill using a Windows 95 version of MasterCAM and drip feeding it over RS232. We quickly gave up and cut them from foam for an investment casting, which also didn't work. I ended up welding them up from steel tubing.

A great video and a good looking result. This shows exactly why manual milling tends to be used for one-off parts, but CNC rapidly pays off as soon as you add repeats. Which is good because with the cost of CNC machines, tooling and software, you need to be running through a lot of production to start getting your money back.

14:00 I've also found that sometime climb milling will give a better finish because of the direction the chips will take out of the cutter, however, I only take very small cuts due to my inexperience, and the small power of my very small machine. =D conventional milling can put the chips back under the cutter and cause vibrations and other problem with having to re-clear / recut the chips... granted you also have flood coolant helping clear the chips as well. And the CNC probably has coolant running out of the cutter, so yeah... Happy Friday!

No Offense to anyone who started out directly with CNC but this is in my(biased) view one of the best ways to learn, on any CNC Machine you don't get as good as a feeling of what noise and chip requires what forces, whilst at the manual machine you can feel all that quite good. Especially 5 Axis machines do math the Machinist usually does not fully understand, let alone could calculate themselves in a feasible time frame. With Manual machining you need smarter ways than using a high power Computer to solve it for you. Running CNC Machines totally makes a lot of sense in 95% of the cases, but knowing the old school stuff is something that should not be easily abandoned.

A well experienced programmer-machinist will have a process plan and start the programming. After they have the first op or at least a decent amount of run time programmed they'll set up the CNC machine and start cutting chips. Then go back to the programming and program and machine concurrently. In bigger places with separate programmers who almost never machine most programs are done completely offline. No offense but that's not more than an hour programming time. You just aren't that experienced to know how and what can be done by very skilled CNC programmers. All of a manual machinist's time is at the task at hand. Also cad/cam systems verification modules suffice for most programs and certainly this part. So there's no need to actually tiptoe through the first part. Then run a "good" part. The first part should have been a good part unless the program was incorrect. The main takeaway is that for relatively simple parts or where the openness that a knee mill gives, CNC is more efficient. Also remember you are looking at a high skilled true machinist vs. a skilled but unfamiliar CNC setup person. Very good video which shows what it takes to manually machine a cad designed part.

13:00 I have a complete manual machine with absolutely no dials (broke years ago), no DRO, and no power feeds. . . so this method is extremely wrist/elbow friendly. I love letting the tool and part do the heavy lifting *sic*. Just remember to factor that backlash in and imagine it like a handsy date trying to rush things and everything is manageable!

Great work @ both "shops"......I like the comparison approach you implemented in this video. It is a great walk through comparison . I would watch several videos taking this approach.

Good job, im actually impressed you two foto finished (trying not to spoil too much here). Now as you said, for 1 or two parts manual might be fine, but on a complex part like this cnc is usually always faster. Especially if you leave away the first stage of him making a prototype part, wed never do that even for 100+ series of parts. Plus switching milling machine and tools basically negated almost every benefit he had from making a prototype part. Even making the other parts is just mirroring the toolpaths and a few adjustments here and there. If you have a proper model of your machine then you can just verify within the cam software that you got no collisions and start of right away :)

Not to mention the improved finish and tolerances of CNC. A CNC mill that's measuring for tool wear, probing bores, and chasing .00005" just can't be competed with by a manual mill.

Thanks to you and Machine Time for doing things like this. Having competed in FSE myself, i know how much teams depend on people throwing in their time and money without really getting much in return. We, too did our first wheel hubs in CNC back than. Second season, we partnered with a team from our university to cast the parts ourself. 3d printing done beforehand, doing the forming, smelting and pouring only took about a day of work. So casting CAN be also a viable option for just some one off parts :)

love it when you put a new video out

this was an awesome video. I worked as an apprentice at a local machine shop when I was a kid and the owner also taught at the local vocational school and I used to assist with his class. most of my time was spent rebuilding hydraulic cylinders for tractors, or machine work on engine parts (I can rebuild a small block chevy with my eyes closed to this day). it's always cool to get to work on something like that. one of the cool features that the local shop had was a foundry in the back, anytime we worked on something that had a lot of aluminum chips like that, we would sweep them up and melt them down and pour them in to an ingot and then use them to make castings, then machine those casting to in stuff. we also used to melt down old aluminum scrap like pistons out of old engines, lawnmower engines, old aluminum rims, pretty much any aluminum scrap we could get our hands on. we would do a big melt about once a month. it was always one of my favorite parts of working in that shop, melt stuff down, cast it into a part, then machine it into something useful. other than mining the raw material, it felt like we had the whole process start to finish. the stuff i learned on was old, even by 1980s standards, but I am currently looking for a used Bridgeport mill and a Southbend lathe for my home workshop so I can start building things again.

This was a really nice video, thank you. It reminded me of machining some differential mounts for my FSAE team a decade ago in college when the CNC mill was down. I followed a similar process, down to creating 3 different drawings for the 3 angular reference frames on the rotary table. The main difference in my process was holding the part by its bore in the rotary table with a 3-jaw chuck. It made centering the part easier but the vibration far from the center got pretty bad. Toe clamping the stock is much smarter. Love to see someone (slightly) more professional following the same process I figured out back then!

Great video! I really liked the head-to-head. I didn’t think you stood a chance. I was surprised the first part came out so close on duration. And I was just queuing up in the comments to ask the part weight before/after and you read my mind.

My brother was in FSAE at The University of Toledo and I ended up getting interested in the machining he was doing there and later after he graduated. I built a bench top CNC that lives in my basement with a small South Bend lathe. Love what you're doing!

O'm really impressed about how good those parts turned out on your manual setup, I also work whit CNC machines so I'm aware that to make precise parts you really need to check the setup, but on a manual machine that need to be even more spotless. Great job

As a guy who use cad/cam and cnc machine, I'm really impressed that you made that parts manually. 👏 👏👏. Those are some inherited skills😊😊

Honestly, I'm pretty impressed by your work. Especially about the fact, that you did this on a manual milling machine! I work with cnc machines (old ones: deckel FP5 CCT, FP41NC and FP42NC) and I wouldn't even have considered to do this part on manual machine. Keep up the good work! :)

Awesome comparison! Can't say that I ever remember another video detailing the pros/cons of manual vs cnc.

Great video and breakdown. We have a machine shop at my work and I have a small hobby CNC machine and home so I get to see them both being used and they each have their place.

Holy moly what a race... Thanks for let me know that people like you exist in the world. Absloutely amazing to watch

Astounding work and all for a great cause. Well done both you and Craig, also good luck Team Kentucky. You and your Wife are really improving on the story and editing, thank you so very much for sharing your time with us.

Thank you so much as always! Just keep swimming... just keep swimming...

This was great to see! I had no idea that would be do-able on a manual mill. The comparison between the two forms of machining was also spot on. Having worked with CNCs myself, I know the time it takes for initial setups...& the stress that comes with it! The manual process us definitely more of an art form. Great job!

Thanks, Shaun! It was validating for me to see they both have a place it seems!

True machinist right here. First video I've watched of yours and I've already gained some knowledge (it seems that way anyways) . Making jokes the whole time and at the same time, keeping on track with the task given without veering off topic. Well done, keep it movin'!

love the vid made me apreciate cnc even more , and learned alot from manual work

thanks! as Craig told me, both ways hard. It's all hard!

You are an important cog in the history of crafting as the bright stars before you, thank you for holding up a legacy and preserve knowledge!

I'm just a bodger with a mill and a lathe, but I love seeing what can be done by people who know what they're about. A CNC mill seems to be the ultimate machine tool, but as you've shown, for making one or two parts, the older machines are just as good. And, for hobby-machinists like me, one part is usually all that is wanted. Keep up the good work.

Just found this channel. Amazing work!🙌🏼

THIS WAS SO SATISFYING. Another stellar video man. great storytelling.

That part looks like it could be a trophy to me, its awesome work. fascinating that both first parts took the same time but CNC is scarey fast on subsequent ones. There is still a place for machinists though since one off parts take a lot of skill to make and given the right machinist can be made in one go. I like that you can cut out the voids and save them to use for other projects where CNC munches through it.....its all recyclable which is good but for the shed machinist saving offcuts is saving money and as such way more important than time taken. Thankyou for sharing a great side by side video

This I really inspiring, I’ve always wanted to try and compete with a CNC. Love the content !!
