I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me

@Louis Arturo Instablaster ;)

@Dariel Hayes thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Dariel Hayes It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out!

@Louis Arturo glad I could help =)

Thanks Robin; There can be issues with center drilling and steady rests. Maybe I should do a video on this subject. With this machine if you center drill with the milling spindle and your not perfectly on the center of rotation it wont be obvious like say on a engine lathe. If your off center in a tail stock there will be a obvious wobbling of the drill because the part is rotating. This is the reason I prefer to establish a turning center rotating the turning spindle.

Edge Precision you explained it very well. If I do use center drilling, I always add a small boring bar to kiss the center just to make sure its thru to the center of rotation.

Ha ha! Me too!

Hold Alt, type 0176, release Alt, and you'll get ° , Alt+0216 gets you Ø.

Thanks Steve!

Thanks for the sub!

You really need to learn cad cam, to go on to the next level, unless your Einstein

They are made that precisely. It would work. Every one I’ve measured was within less than a thousand of a inch. Of the specified length.

@@EdgePrecision i know but the if you were to be so bold made me laugh because we have all done something but still doubled checked it

,,, kind of funny, I mean the way he trusts the positioning of these machines .

@@rolandtamaccio3285 hes right you can just take the hight of the extension and add it to the offsets. But theres always a voice in the back of your head that tells you you should double check to be sure. Better safe then sorry i just found it funny the way he phrased it thats all.

It's fun to watch the offset change the exact amount though!

Most all endmills I use are coated with TiALN. When mill aluminum it is important to use some kind of coolant. Either a air mist or flood. I have even sprayed on WD40. If your tool runs dry and your running a high surface speed the aluminum will build up on the tool.

This steady rest does have coolant passages running thru the jaws. For the next operation ( when I post the video) you will see why I need to use these solid jaws to span gaps. On roller jaws I hav thought to make rubber wipers/seals and flood coolant under the rubber wipers to keep chips out of rollers.

I’m not sure what all that means but I think I like it.

@@EdgePrecision The HS-3A is a horizontal machine.

I have the same question :)

The gauge is made by Allen Gauge. I have had this gauge for a very long time so I don't know if the still make this model. The numbers on the back are 5226 and 4664. The number on the dial is 102. I don't know witch number is the model number. They are still in business at allengauges.com. go there and you will see all the different gauges they make.

@@EdgePrecision 车铣复合编程好不好学习呢？

The steady rest in this video is a manual one I built. The jaws adjust with the bronze nuts by hand. I do have a hydraulic steady rest that can mount on the same mount. It can be opened and closed with codes in a program from the control. There are no springs on steady rest jaws. Once positioned you don’t want them to move. The hydraulic one does exert constant pressure from the pressure you have set with the regulator.

The gauge is made by Allen Gauge. Its one of their thread depth indicators #5226. Got to this link allengauges.com/products/thread/ you will see these gauges.

In Esprit there are various ways to define stock. You can use there standard stock definitions. A bar or tube for lathe type work. You can define a box around the part or import a solid model. You can also save and recall a previous simulation for the next operations stock. All of these can be positioned in different ways. Sorry I have never used Fusion or I could give you more detailed information.

@@EdgePrecision gotcha. Okay. Thanks for the reply!

Yes it’s part of the planning of a job. I think anyone would. You have to visualize the operations and how you will hold on to the part/stick to get the part out of it. In the case of this job it’s the second time and I have some experience on how not to do it.

I do have one video on planning a job from a cad model. I do plane on doing more videos on that subject. This is the area of machine work that determines the success or failure of a job.

Great keep the videos coming. Very interesting and the way you plan/explain everything is very helpful . I love machining and everything that goes into it.

@@EdgePrecision Do you ever find yourself going through that same planning cycle for mundane daily things?

If you are speaking of the turning spindle. When switching from turning to milling the machine does what they call coupling the C axis. The sequence is this. First the turning spindle is oriented by the turning spindles motor to a zero point. While that is happening the C axis servo motor is moving the worm on its shaft to zero. When they are both zero the worm is engaged into the gear on the spindle. When that is engaged properly the turning spindle is shifted into neutral. There is also a breaking mechanism on the C axis so when it isn’t rotating its locked with a break just like any rotary table has. So to go back to turning all that is necessary is to uncouple the worm from the gear and shift the turning spindle into gear. Than start the spindle.

@@EdgePrecision , awesome thanks. I am building something similar as a multipurpose 4th axis for my small mill. For the "vertical" spindle does it lock the rotation in a similar way to keep the turning tool holders stationary?

No the milling spindle has the ability to clamp/index every 15 degrees. The way this works is with a hydraulic cervic coupling. There is a disk on the spindle in front of the spindle bearings. Inside the housing. This disk has keys in it like a cervic coupling on both sides of it. There are two ring shaped hydraulic cylinders on each side of the disk. And also a ring outside the disk on the spindle with the same keys as the spindles disk. So when the spindle is clamped for a turning tool. First the spindle is oriented at the angle called for than the two ring cylinders are advanced to engage the coupling keys. They engage until both the coupling on the spindle and the fixed coupling around the spindles coupling are pinched between the ring cylinders with the keys engaged. This system is very carefully balanced so as not to displace the spindle in its bearings. Also when clamped it takes the load of the turning tools not the spindle bearings. When the spindle is clamped and unclamped there is no desirable axial movement in the milling spindle. That is a little hard to explain. I hope that makes sense.

@@EdgePrecision GREAT explanation...as usual! Much appreciated :-)

If anyone wants to read up on Curvic Couplings: www.geartechnology.com/issues/1186x/Back-to-Basics.pdf

I think I have always been this way.

@@EdgePrecision Makes sense, a job that requires such attention to detail demands it. Love your videos, amongst the best machining content on KZfaq.

Yes I said the same in a earlier comment. If you go thru the previous comments. Some one responded with a comment telling me what they are and what there for.

@@EdgePrecision thanks for that. My phone is a bit clunky for looking at the comments. All the best from Yorkshire England 🖒

Small shavings steel don't need coolant and mayby for better content for video.

Sorry I just saw your question. I would normally us coolant but for the video I didn’t. It’s just so we could see more.

That’s a hemostat I found in a surplus electrical supply store a long time ago. I also have a longer one.

@@EdgePrecision They are actually called alligator forceps or Hartmann forceps. They are typically used for removing foreign bodies from the ear canal or nasal passages.

Thanks all I know is they work good for getting shavings out of tapped holes.

Edge Precision thank you! Your videos are awesome by the way, I really learn a lot thanks for the content.

This machine has a Mazatrol control but I am running a G code program output from Esprit Cam.

You know I didn’t even check seeing as it wasn’t critical. But after your comment I went and measured it. It was .0005” per side or .001 total on the thickness. That could be even adjusted out with the tailstock. This tailstock can be adjusted in all planes.

@@EdgePrecision so about 0.012mm (Brit here 😉) across that length isn't really that bad is it? What year is your mazak, we have a few at my shop I love them they go forever.

The machine was built in 2006.

It’s a e650H machine.

@@EdgePrecision I have to send you a Dimide clamp to try out, our local friends/company makes them. Cool video you made, as always! You inspired my channel

No. The closest I have got to a injection mold is making molds for the wax patterns that are used in investment casting. These molds are usually made out of aluminum. They are technically injection molds at a low pressure for the wax.

Thanks

Yes but as I have explained in other replies it is difficult to use on this machine because I cant reach the control when looking at the tool at the probes folded down position. If I had a jog pendent maybe. It is actually faster and I can see the tools actual position on the control when touching off on the part. So I prefer doing it that way on this machine.

A little is a good as a mile on a CNC machine.
