I had done a 3/4 inch diameter reduction in mild steel in one pass on my grandfather’s lathe. Beautiful spiral of oxidation colors coming off the bit. The last production run on it was circa 1970. 9,500 pieces. The limiting factor? Slippage of the leather drive belts. Yes, flat belt drive with countershaft. F. E. Reed, 1892, 18” x 72”. It now resides in the steam-powered machine shop of a mining museum. Yours obviously makes repetitive pieces quickly, but we were turning out those 9,500 pieces at 50-55 seconds each. On a 1892 lathe.

Tolerances are growing ever smaller and the workforce is less skilled daily. I'm 24 trying to make it in this trade and we have a bunch of 50-40 year olds miserable and mediocre and a bunch of 70 -80 year old master machinists whom would give anything to train the young guys.

That machining has been only done for test purposes but you’re right that the programming might be improved. However, the better chip break ability of that geometry has allowed us to reduce the cutting time by 50% on average, compared to competitors' inserts.

The CAM software use for this demo didn’t allow us to do that. But we’re now working in another demo using that technology and we might use that zigzag trochoidal also for grooving. Stay tuned 😉

Thanks to that solution and the great performance of the geometry, this application requires much less than the available spindle power (15kW for this machine).
