Cool ! 👍 I just saw a drawing for a test piece for 1st year apprentice machinists from Cock a too island from many years ago . they had to machine a set taper , vee , acme , square and buttress threads all on the same piece of stock . 👍
G'day Max and thanks for checking in. Yes those were days mate. They had similar exercises to complete in the navy training also. Sadly, much of the apprenticeship training has changed today. We tend to get them on machines sooner rather than later and make small projects they get to take home. Cheers, Aaron.
Lovely machine there, Aaron! Looking forward to seeing it running.
G'day Murray. Thanks for tuning in mate. Yes it's beautiful piece of kit with a hefty price tag too. I'm lucky enough to use it. Cheers mate, Aaron.
Worked out perfic mate
Thanks Anthony. It was fun to make. I did have some “Pucker” factor on the first part lol 😂
not sure if its of any use to you but to force y moves on our doosan you need to set x minimum in the NC Program post processor settings. needs to be a minus number. depends on part size
just had a quick look on fusion its called "x axis minimum limit" in the configuration drop down
Hi David. Thanks for the tip mate. I’ll look into it. I did use the dedicated Autodesk ST20Y post processor. The week earlier it used a Y position to drill those crankshaft holes. Cheers Aaron 👍🍻
Gday Aaron, that’s a much easier way to machine a cam lobe compared to when I made the cam for the Webster engine on a manual mill, nice job
G’day Matty. Thanks for watching mate. Yes very spoilt wasn’t I to have the use of that big lathe hey. Cheers mate 👍🍻
Why are you using live tools to drill holes on the centre line when you can just use the spindle and fixed tools ?
Hi Andrew. You can use the tools stationary to drill on the centre line. However, having them as live tools allows you spot, drill and chamfer off the centre line. The lathe has an additional Y axis.
Nice!
G’day Glen. Good to hear from you mate. I hope you and the family are doing well up there mate. Cheers 🍻
Aaron totally off the wall unrelated off topic question, have you (or anyone you know) ever played golf at Royal Melbourne Golf Club?
G’day Bill. Sorry it’s not me mate. However, one of our TAFE apprentices called Trent does play a lot of golf ⛳️ . Cheers 🍻 Aaron
The students will love that as a project.Real life stuff.
Hey mate. Thank you, yes the apprentices are very excited to make this project. Hopefully I’ve given them a good head start. Cheers, Aaron 👍🍻
G96 / G50 @ 1:50 WOW, that Spindle 👌 It's sort of funny how Confusion 360, showed the part being Milled with Y Axis. But it ran in C Axis in the Lathe ?? Is this how Confusion shows it in CAM 🤔 I'm onlly asking for a friend 😅 The FR on the Parting Off tool might be a little aggressive. But, it's maybe more so that the part isn't launched than the actual Cutting Speed. I like how you always take so much time to show as much as you can in a video, everything from CAM to running in the machine. I might be a little lazy in this regard about how much time I put into a video. But, you have always made good content on your channel 👍👍
G’day Peter. Always appreciate you stopping by and providing feedback. Yes that 4000RPM spindle clamp I programmed was a bit excessive. Should have left it at 2500rpm. I agree, that 0.2mm/rev part off really launched that part 🚀 lol. Greedy bastard aren’t I. 😂 I’ll give you call soon, got some information I need to tell you. Cheers 🍻 Aaron
That's awesome Aaron! Great project.
Thank you Daniel much appreciated mate. Cheers 🍻
Looks a good system Aaron, I've been looking for a system of removing tramp oil from ma wine lubricant. I might give that a go. Cheers SteveO
G'day Stevo. This worked for a little while, but I eventually bought a proper oil skimmer from Arty over at LiveTools. I've done 2 videos on skimmers I'll attach the links here as it may help you make your decision mate. Cheers, Aaron.

Nice project Aaron. I really enjoyed watching everything through ConFusion to running on the Mill. You're definitely spoilt with a Probe. ( but reality is, I'm too tight to pay the money to buy 1 for my machine 🤫) On the Mill I run mostly 100% Rapids with a mix of fast feeds. But, on the Lathe I do the same as you and run mostly 25% Rapids with a mix of fast feeds for moving around the part. It's a pain running a Tool into a part on a Mill, but a major headache running the Lathe turret into the Spindle 😬 I like the Watch you're wearing with the shaded area for knock off time 😅 Looking forward to seeing another video to continue the series with the small engine build 👍👍
G’day Peter. Thanks mate. Yes very spoilt. That MM2 has a 4th axis and through spindle cooling too. Once I prove the program I run 100% rapids, but if it’s the first cycle for the day I’ll slow it all down just to make sure it’s all good. I agree mate, a CNC lathe is a whole different beast. You don’t want to smash that turret. Talk soon mate. Aaron
you're officially trashed
Another good one Az 👏👏 Does the Haas have air blast for steel ( in lieu of coolant)? Grasshopper
G’day Robert. You can get it fitted, but none of the TAFE machines have it on them. Thanks for watching mate. Cheers Aaron
ben Is a common name chosen by asians when they come here, looks like you wannabes have some competition
Thanks for watching 👍
envy me to your death you're finished
Nicely presented at the high standard we have grown used to.Thanks for that.
Thank you so much ☺️
Pucker factor. Having machine a lot of timber shapes screwed to a spoilboard, I can totally relate to that. I liken it to IFR flying. You have to trust your calcs knowing the tool is going exactly where you told it, but is still scary. Just curious. Why didn't you machine that part mirrored so when you tighten the cap screw, it rotated into the dowel pin instead of relying on pushing it into the pin? Not a criticism just a question.
G'day Murray. I appreciate the feedback and totally agree with you. I should have done the mirror option, but only realised this after I made it and tried it out. As a teacher we are always time poor, chasing our tail, and laziness got the better of me. Cheers, mate.
@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering Your students are very lucky to have you as a tutor. The internet likewise.
I was going to ask the same question! Of course, I only thought of it because I got to see this version first.
Great stuff Aaron :) Chris NG
G'day Chris. Thanks for watching mate. Having some fun as always. Cheers, Aaron.
Finally! Another video from my buddy!
Thanks Guy. I have actually put a few video over the past month or two. But yes, I am a slack bastard! Cheers, Aaron.
Another awesome video Aaron!
Thanks JR really appreciate the support mate 🙏
Awesome video Aaron. Super project.
Thanks brother 🙏🍻
Nice video, Aaron. Are you planning on showing more of this build?
Hello 👋. Yes I plan to show more of this build. I might also cover some manual machining in my Aaron Engineering channel. Cheers 🍻 Aaron
Your students are lucky to have someone who puts in the effort to keep them engaged and interested in their chosen careers.
Thank you so much for the kind accolades. I really do love teaching the students. I hope they remember the lessons taught on their journey through life. Cheers, Aaron.
Dang, you get to pick which lathe you want to use? Awesome!
Ha ha ha, yes Marco. I was still running parts in the ST20Y so I fired up the TL2. Cheers mate 🍻
@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering 🥰
Did I miss cutting the keyway in the shaft? Wanted to see how that was done?
Hi Douglas. I should have cut that keyway on the ST20Y, but didn’t have a 3mm end mill on hand. Will have to cut manually in my mill with a dividing head at home. Fml 🤦♂️
Great video Aaron, more of these types videos please.. Regards Kevin
Hi Kevin. Always good to hear from you. Thank you, I appreciate the feedback mate. Hopefully I get more shop time in the coming months. Cheers Aaron 👍🍻
Seriously cool project Aaron!
Thanks Adam. Yes I agree with you, it’s a very cool project mate. Cheers 🍻
Cool project
Thanks buddy. Appreciate the support and feedback mate. Cheers Aaron 👍🍻
Hey Aaron. Nice project to be working on. Looking forward to coming back for the rest of the series👍 Got to ❤the Coca Cola, Soft Jaws 😅👌
Hey Peter 👋. Thanks mate, it’s a cool little project. In hindsight I should’ve machined this part the opposite way, large dia and hole first, flip part into machined soft jaws and then the OD turn steps and face. However as I’m only machining 10 pairs, I didn’t want to waste a set of soft jaws. Oh course and you know me I used Confusion CAD CAM. You would’ve written the program manually at the controller and still beaten me lol 😂 Cheers Peter🍻
@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering Got to ❤️ that ConFusion 360 👌😀 I must admit I would be struggling to write a Y Axis part by hand ?? Yes I still think I am running a Manual Lathe and programming everything by hand 😁 Looking forward to watching the whole series. Definitely looks like an interesting project to share 👍
Great video Dad Wren loved watching Pop talk ❤❤❤
Thanks for the support love 💕
Gday Aaron, looks like an interesting engine, cheers
G’day Matty and thank you. This is the one I was telling you about. Only 2 more weeks to go and hopefully get some more free time to work in my shop
Great video Aaron, Alway interesting to watch your projects
G'day Chris. Thanks for watching mate. I hope lift my game soon, as I start to get a some free time and able to make more video content. Cheers, Aaron.
6:46 Do you have an in-depth video on this drawer system for the inserts? I think it's something that work really well in our shop :-)
Hey Jesses. This draw system used to a product of Sandvick. However another company took over called “Supply Pro - Smart Drawer”. Sutton Tools (Melbourne Australia) are now an agent for them. Speak with Greg Bennet at Sutton Tools for more information mate. Cheers Aaron
Thx for making this video 😊
Thanks Jesse. I make these videos to show my stuff ups. Hopefully others don’t do the same. Cheers 🍻
Syil does not have stock on his parts...so
Yeah I’m not sure what stock they carry. Especially as the machines start to age.
What a great video, clear and to the point immediately. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you 🙏. I appreciate the positive feedback. I’m actually an educator (high school & TAFE). I make these videos to assist teachers and students in learning the software. Cheers Aaron 🍻
Love to see great Australian engineering.
Thank you 🙏. Yes I agree with you. Aussie manufacturing 💯👍
Thank you for this video - I've been using Fusion for several years, and the information given will greatly improve my workflow.
You are very welcome. I appreciate the support and feedback. Regards Aaron
I'm learning Fusion 360. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO.
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Cheers 🍻
Nice stuff! Just starting my new job next tuesday on one of these, never used a Hass before and tips? Cheers
Thanks mate. I actually just uploaded a full video on how to set up and use the TL2 lathe. Check it out as you may find it helpful. Cheers 🍻
I have the same lathe I bought new in 2022 nice machines. Great video. Very informative
Thank you for stopping by and checking out my video. I also appreciate your positive feedback. Just checked out your channel and liked your VF2 CNC video. You've got an amazing workshop. Cheers from downunder. Regards, Aaron.
i'm a milling guy for 30 plus years, good info on the lathe
Thanks buddy. I hope it helps other out there and especially the college students. Hope you've been well? Cheers, Aaron.
its that bright in newer haas-lathes? I have a 2005 sl-20 at work, and its pitch black inside if u close the door
Hi mate. Yes they have a newer style LED light inside these days. These machines are all 2022 models. Cheers 🍻
Great presentation!
Thanks Russ. You’re a good man 👍🍻
Well done Sir, and nice lathe.
G’day Marco. Appreciate the feedback mate 👍🍻
Hi Aaron great video with a lot of great information.
Thank you Chris. I hope the video helps others and students mate. Cheers 🍻 Aaron
