You are superstar. I would spend a years working with you for free,just to have a piece of your experience. Great job👌

I am fascinated and mesmerized watching this. Just amazing to watch something so complex be created seemingly easily and accurately.

American ingenuity and craftsmanship at its best. Thanks peter for taking the time to share your knowledge and the excellent video

Your videos have made an impact on my machining, and my life. Thank You for taking your time to create these master pieces.. Anyone that is in the machining world, will understand the infinte amount of fine detail and highly skilled trade that we have been blessed to become a part of. Creation is key

I could watch these videos all day long. Great stuff!

Amazing video as always. Great comments. Funny is that our cat really like soft speaking voices and your videos are perfect! She is usually fast asleep within 10 min. or so. So, you are valued by both human and pet!

Just absolutely breathtaking. A true inspiration to someone like myself who is always keen on learning more about machining. Sending positive vibes from NYC!!!

You do amazing work Peter, and you are really good at explaining what you want to do, and the process to get there. Being a one-man operation you have some very interesting projects, and you probably get these because people know that you are good at what you do. I also think your Mazak is an amazing machine. It is definitively a lathe, but it is a mill as well. Like some of those manual lathes with a milling post. Cool stuff, and keep it up. From Norway: Thanks.

Dang! I know exactly how much work that is! Way more than I've been willing to do! LOL I'm only running mach3 and I don't trust the feed hold at all on it!! Since you're doing multiples of the same part, you can run each part with a different camera position and then do all the work on the computer. But.....knowing just how much grief and time are involved in the editing end of these vids, sometimes it's a lot easier to get shorter clips that are more specific and then splice them. I'll end up letting my camera run for the duration or until I know I've gotten the final tool paths. It can take quite awhile to whittle 2+hrs of vid down to 10min. lol Thank you for the time/effort you're putting into your vids! :)

very good work

So nice!

incredible

Very nice!

Excelent video

At around 7:00, the shot seems underexposed because there is a bright pattern at the left, which messes the camera metering. You can either switch to spot/center metering (if available) or find a way to darken that side. The GoPro tends to focus in the center, so the shot should be framed such that the background does not sit right at the center. For the "high-speed" shots either there isn't enough lighting or the lights are pulsating. Thank you for the videos and the R&D topics.

Bravissimo...

Beautiful. What steel was it made from and was it heat treated?

Beautiful result. This is probably a stupid question, but if you don't ask, you don't learn! Why are the inserts on a spiral pattern around the cutter body?

@EdgePrecision

The cut width is .915 wide. The inserts are 10 mm in diameter. In order to cut that width the inserts have to be staggered. The cutter has 8 inserts but is really a two flute cutter.

I'm not a pro but I'd also like to add that this also makes the cut per tooth less work on each tooth per revolution.. kinda like offset teeth on all types of saw blades.

@EdgePrecision

6 жыл бұрын

Daniel Gilbert I think what he is referring to is the profile shape of each tooth. What you are referring to is the set of the teeth on a saw to make the kerf wider than the back of the blade. I have bought table saw blades where one tooth cuts to one side the next tooth cuts in the middle and the next to the other side. This is similar to what this cutter is doing. There are two inserts that cut toward the end face. The next two cut half way up in the middle. The next set half more. The last set cut at the upper face toward the shank. So 8 inserts in two sets of 4. Or two spiral flutes with 4 inserts each.

@Jeralddoerr

6 жыл бұрын

Daniel Gilbert no....... no.. no.. think about it... take look at a circular saw blade... every tooth is offset.. 1 , 2, 3, over and over so that when you feed in the material the next tooth doesn't have to do so much work... I'm not saying he designed the tool this way for that reason but as a resolute his tool/machine absolutely benefits. The more teeth on your cutter the more horse power your machine needs to complete a revolution.

I know you just made that beautiful enclosure for your GoPro but you should check out the Sony RX0. It's about the same size as a GoPro but it has a vastly superior sensor in it. I have a RX0 that I've played with a lot and I think if they make a mk2, it could be really amazing.

for the threading you could put a can full of oil in the machine and everytime you want to tap just dip the tool in the can and there is new oil on it :)

What if you had to tap holes in the horizontal mode? I have used a wire brush to remove shavings off a tool. Just stop the spindle bury it in the brush reverse at slow speed while reversing the spindle. I have also thought but never tried it. To change to a tool with a Allen wrench and use it to remove screws and move them in a fixture. But like I say I haven’t tried this.

This is awesome! Any videos of it in action?

as for the lighting.. Abom got a ring lamp from somebody for his vertical mill.. fits in an existing hole. i wonder if a battery powered LED ring lamp could be fastened to your spindle face.. perhaps with different rows of Leds aimed in different directions.. with the switch ability to change the lighting pattern.. heck might be able to fab that up in plastic.. right in your own shop.. one thing.. you would need to test several LED colors.. to come out with an assortment that create normal white full spectrum light.. so its not such a single spectrum of light.. i realize this video is several months old..

Love watching your videos. One question. When roughing out the insert pocket, why not use a larger endmill and plunge it to get the majority of the material out, rather than wearing out the tips of 3/16" endmills?

@EdgePrecision

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Chad! The endmill is actually roughing the angle in steps on the insert pocket walls. That way the special endmill that finishes the tapered walls has less load on it. Plunging a end mill straight into something usually doesn’t work very well. But if I ground a form tool that could work. I usually try not to use any more special tooling than absolutely necessary.

Love your videos. Odd question but how much coolant will that machine hold? How often do you top off the coolant level?

@EdgePrecision

I’m not sure the exact coolant volume. I would guess about 200 gal. Most of the coolant gets carried out by the chip conveyer. When running the machine constantly I think I make up coolant about every 1.5 weeks.

Awesome video edge. Looks like fun making your own Cutters! How much do you offset the insert screw hole to pull the insert into the pocket? Do you prefer 4340 ph to 4140 ph for cutter bodies or is it more available in your region?

@EdgePrecision

In the case of these insert pockets the inserts being round the screws aren’t offset. With the tapered sides of the insert pockets surround more than 180 degrees of the insert. It hasn’t been necessary to put the holes off center.

When you were talking about the GoPro6 focusing, it looks like it's focusing on the background, not on the tool and work. This would make the work look terrible. At least this is what it looks like to me ... great video :o)

Thanks Paulster2; Yes I wish there was more control over the focusing options (Maybe there is and I haven't learned how).

Can’t buy them. The cutters don’t normally get damaged. I have been running the same set for more than a year. I think while I was away they forgot to index the inserts. The inserts have to be indexed every part. There are 16 cutters and 16 parts. The job runs unattended. 15 minutes per part four hours per cycle. With one hour of labor to index inserts and change the parts in the vises. I usually index the inserts while it’s running about four cutters at a time while running the Mazak. It takes an average of 2 inserts per part. At $6.80 per insert.
