The anvil was always inside that block of steel, he just free it, like a Michelangelo ;)

@@podfuk you know how to make an Anvil, right? Start with a piece of stock, and cut away all the bits that don't look like an Anvil!

The whole process was quite interesting. The horn machining part was like it was fabricating a robotit. A robotic... :)

The machines have come full circle.

Yes, very nice machining ...but considering it is 14 lbs, as a finished anvil, what is it going to be used for? If I wanted a quality anvil, I would buy nothing else but a drop forged tool ...nothing else ...even if, and particularly if, the tool is heat treated. May not end up being much better than cast ...but yes, nice machining ...for a very heavy paper weight.

Beat me to it, I just double checked the timestamp before scrolling down to add a comment. So awesome.

thats so awesome! The program he uses must be realy good when it enables him to make thoes cuts.

Just add lube to get the perfect machining porn moment! ;D

So much wasted time and metal when a rough cut on a bandsaw could have saved both. Cut off pieces could be used for other parts.

@@jc-hd3ih reading your comment was a bigger waste of time

Depressing for me as I am a Fitter & Turner Machinist ( Old School) I feel violated in many ways or even Obsolete !

That's because it hasn't been polluted with bad people, even after AvE mention him in a video. That's usually when channels turn to sh**. It creates an influx of viewers, both bad and good. It's good for the creator, if they're trying to grow their channel.

Single negative comment

@steve gale Yeah. No one gets paid to turn stock into chips. Ten minutes at a vertical bandsaw would have saved a lot of machine time and insert wear.

Thanks AVE! There have been quite a few asking about buying one. Like I imagine with your copper hammers the material would cost more than that! I have priced out flame cut profile blanks out of 4140 just to get a idea $100.00 ea. No I don't think I will be making these for sale. Maybe some to give away. Don't work for the money unless you can get a insane mount right? One note of interest on the flame cutting. If I get a rectangle blank out of 3" plate 8.5" X 6". The price was $86.00. This weighs in at 43 lbs. Now the profiled plank has the exact cut distance length (good accidental design on my part) as the rectangular blank and weighs 26 lbs but costs $100.00. So the flame cut people get more per pound and they can even nest the parts closer together. I just thought that was curiously interesting.

@@EdgePrecision -- AvE got a CNC and his poor Bridgeport hasn't been seen since. Machinists can be a fickle lot!

@@HadToChangeMyName_KZfaqSucks once you go to the other side. There is no going back.

This is what an anvil would look like if they used them to build F1 cars or space rockets.

Yes, very nice machining ...but considering it is 14 lbs, as a finished anvil, what is it going to be used for?

Without Cam Software that cut would be impossible.

@@EdgePrecision G-code it... I know you can. LOL

@edgeprecision, what software did you use for that? I know you've been dabbling with Fusion 360 but I have a feeling you used Espirit

@@spazzywhitebelt esprit

Edge Precision when I said Math I’m Implying math in the software cam

It’s always nice when you don’t have to comp your tools

Not much programming at all if a sample anvil was digitized ...CAD to CAM. Yes, very nice machining ...but considering it is 14 lbs, as a finished anvil, what is it going to be used for? If I wanted a quality anvil, I would buy nothing else but a drop forged tool ...nothing else ...even if, and particularly if, the tool is heat treated.

Study industrial/mechanic/mechatronic engineering. There's the 5 year thing and also shorter 2 year preparations. You sound like the kind of person who would enjoy ig

I work at a machine shop in New hampshire and so do a lot of the buddies. Literally just look for machine operator jobs. A lot of shops are in need of people right now. If you work at a shop for long enough, you can eventually most likely move up in that shop. You have to start at the bottom though lol. Ive been qorjing at my shop for 4 years and I'm just now starting to get into setting up 4th axis machines, which are way less complicated than this 5th axis machine

@@w62720wtf or just learn g/m code and become a machine operator I took one class for mastercam, learned gm code on a DOS emulator, and got a job as an operator It's not as prestigious as being a cert machinist or engineer but it's an easy way in

@@raidzeromatt That sounds like a great idea 2. I'm on mechatronics and i really like CNC, my uni didnt teach g & m code but after your comment i think i'll def try it out.

That's good to hear. Thanks Mathan Kumar!

Hi. Does anyone know which steel is this that he is milling and which steel is the best for that kind of process and an anvil?

Would you believe me if I tell you that 2.5 axis cnc is pretty simple in terms of mat?

Thanks Gary!

Thanks pharaun159 that's good to hear.

Thanks again Randy. Good luck with your building project. Its always nice to have extra space in the shop.
