25:36 That tool change, nicely edited.

Peter, thank you for these videos. The amount of effort you put into these while doing production jobs is most generous. The level of detail you provide maybe more than most of us need to see but it gives us a feeling for what it takes to set up and run these jobs. Your craftsmanship and professionalism in both your Machining and your video production is most impressive. Keep up the good work!

I like channels like this, no annoying intro, just straight into the action.

When the people in the office asks you "how long will this take" And I'm like "Ask me when I'm done"

1:40 I love how you always take your time to properly clean and deburr everything. I am paying way more attention to this at my work since watching your videos!

I see why he has so much work. He's AMASINGLY fast. On some of those moves his hands are just a blur. I wish I could work that fast, do 8 hours of work in 2!! ;)

I used to work for Ingersoll and one of my last projects that i helped engineer was an ingot scalper. Thing was 191’ long and had an 8’ diameter cutting head and a 1k hp main motor to handle the 30 metric ton ingots. I did all the systems programming and debugging on the very first one they built, also had to install that beast in Saudi Arabia. For being such a “simple” operation, they’re decently complex.

PETER....yes, I'm yelling. :D Anything and everything that you can show of the work you are doing will be very welcome to most, if not all of your viewers. As long as it doesn't keep you from getting your work done, I'd love seeing every minute of your day. It is FASCINATING! I know you couldn't show any machining of the Titanium rudder fins from the fixtures you made the last few videos, but an update of how things went would be nice to hear.

Most definitely would like to see the probing video and setting the work offsets automatically!! Please and thank you!!

I like your zero trick-- starting in the center first. That's a really good efficiency insight.

Peter I love the horizontal mill videos anything you can show is awesome. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the dramatic tool-change sequence.

LOL, that coding, reading and writing it fluently, remainds me about the Motorola 6802 microprocessor whose machine code I could read/write quite fluently back in 1983. It was all hexadecimal in a 6 digit 7-segment display having address and the byte therein (MEK 6802). Nice video as always. Thanks!

Thank you for posting and pleae post more, i know its time consuming but level of machining is unmatched on KZfaq... Your equipment is beautiful works of art.

You do a fine job with your videos. I watched when you were setting up the blocks how you positioned the threaded rod on top of the hold down by using the bolt head of the table to avoid damaging the table. Little things like that are hard to teach newbies. And the detail of the program cycles were explained well also.

I'm still on manual machines, and I love watching see skilled guys like you. It's understandable some customers don't like their projects to be shown. Thx for sharing. I wish I went in to cnc long time ago.

The basics never change Peter, vice off stone the bed, clock up next fixture....just love it. I put up the vice yesterday on my old mill..still the same way since 1977

I will watch anything you share. Its a never ending learning experience. Thank you.

Never faced a part that large. Great video and thanks for sharing your knowledge, specially with work holding.

Another great video from the Edge Pecision Shop. Great showing how one can set up this kind of machining. Your videos are very informative and very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing them with us.

I love your videos cuz you always show the set up of the parts which is some of my favorite stuff. You lose me in the CNC controller stuff. I feel like manual guys wish they were CNC and visa versa. Lol.

Well, that was educational. I’ve never so much as touched a CNC machine before, and I actually understood about half of what you were doing. Thanks so much for sharing.

Hey. You’ve helped me out a ton man since i discovered your videos a week ago. Learned alot already. I figured out that you’re a bit different before i came across your explanation video. But that’s ok. We all have our issues brother. And thankfully, talents.

And they happily say that these machines do all the hard work for you .... Thanks for all your videos.

This is a great video for training apprentice with, particularly the set up at the start thanks for sharing 👍

I'll take all the probing info your willing to give. You tha Man Peter! Thanks!

Buongiorno Signor PETER. Non mi stanco Mai di guardare i Suoi video. Ottimo lavoro come sempre. Grazie MARSTRO 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

Thanks for sharing, also thank the customer. Let them know We appreciate watching their parts being made. To a point

Great stuff, Peter! I really enjoy seeing all the little checks you do to make sure you're successful. I do something similar with automatic probing in fusion 360. I use the Haas WCS macros to update the G54 based on a static "known" point assigned to G59 that matches my model. That way I never have to manually probe a job, it's just all baked in to the program.

I’m not a machinist but still in awe of the skills/knowledge of your work.

Thank you Peter. I vote yes for anything you willingly show us.

Amazing! Thank you very very much to include all these details! I was wondering since a long time, how these would be done, like how you are changing the pallet top, adjusting the coordinates, how to start a program somewhere in between, ... I especially liked all your sanity checks, e.g., with the tape measure, summing up the coordinates in the calculator, and also the 1-2-3-block trick. The tool change must have been a hell of a work. Thanks for going this extra mile! And yes, I would be interested how automatic coordinate measurements work. Thanks, Hansi

A TI-30X user! As you narrated the plans, I was punching them into my own TI-30Xa

An amazing video, thanks Peter. Very informative. Your working practices match my night school tutors methods. No crashes yet!

The real work of machining! Love the content Peter. Thanks for sharing.

Hello there Mr CNC I really enjoy watching your videos. To me you are the very best. Keep up the good work.

At the beginning of this video, I thought it would be one of those meditative ASMR-type videos, then he started to talk, and I was finding that I was learning so much after coming out of my meditative state. Ha! So satisfying!!

Thanks for showing grabbing a 1-2-3 as a quick Z safety check before going full depth. Years ago one of my guys always programmed with a 6" z first so he could use a scale to check every tool. I still use 6 or 1 and even on repeat programs to double check and or catch a boo boo.

Great video, it's fun seeing all the little details of how you work

Always learn something from your videos. Thanks Peter

YES, I too am yelling, full video please, provided it doesn't take you out of whack with your customer.

I didn't count them but I am impressed with the number of shots you set up to make this. Anyone who wants to understand how much time you put into your videos should consider that.

Ha ha! I thought those looked familiar. We have the same exact work boots sir. Excellent video. Keep up the good work my friend.

I'd like to see the auto offset programming. Cool tool change edit at 25:35.

Excellent explanation and camera work, beautiful. Thanks.

I want one of these for Christmas tomorrow morning. I think it will fit in my spare bedroom.

I’m always astonished by the amount of prep that you go through

Love how you show the operation in the inset.

Very informative and educational . Thanks for the lessons . I'd like to see the entire machining video of the block . Great video .

Cool Cool Cool And I like the perfect commercial placement when you hit the first cycle start went directly to a kenemetal tool on the lathe

Very educational. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

Liking the quick editing for the tool change, putting the camera on the chain was cool.

Very clever tool sequence Peter.

Hey Peter, thank you for sharing what you could! I think everyone understands that customers have proprietary concerns to protect their stuff. You can't help that. Btw, I'm still very curious about how strongly your custom toe clamps grip the part..... Now that was a clever design! You're quite the innovator! You definitely have a fun job! I'm almost jealous but happy for you that you get to do all of this fascinating stuff! Thanks again Peter! :)

Loving the edits man, good work!

Give him a raise. Stoning his surfaces. Start precision.

Great Job! Keep on doing so..! Greetings from Germany.

Great! Greetings from Republic of Korea

The feed hold sanity check was one of the first things I learned as a CNC machinist.

well my new found friend, I am amazed at your skills you are unbelievable engineer that's for sure, but please invest in a Milwaukee it would make life easier quick fastening stuff down, I am watching and learning from you at 73years old Top Man

Yes, I would really like to see a video explaining how the automatic cycle works and how you use it.

I’m a little bit surprised you don’t use and drill or impact to remove or install the socket head cap screws onto your table. As well as using a torque wrench to tighten everything. Still fantastic work and I learned a ton from watching this!

Another great machinest channel

another good lesson Peter.thanks

love your videos. thanks

I would definitely like to watch a video about an automatic probing cycle.

Great video again buddy

Man if only all the saw cuts were that straight! Good video. Ever consider writing a trig cycle for your offset evolution around B? I have a couple days of doing it. The first will wrap your G54 B0 position to any other B angle/offset number. The second way, my preferred way, will run the same offset for any B position. It references B0 position, reads the current B position, calculates and sets a program offsets. Programming that way, all locations follow print dimensions.

I love your videos, you do such a great job!!!

I think you're mispronouncing M00. G-code is an ancient dialect, and sounds very much like the cow sound, because that is way funnier.

Love the tool change bit there, that must have taken some time to set up each of those shots and cut them all together! Great work!

I see guys like you... and awe at your knowledge and understanding. Then I see on the news that a teenager want 15 dollars per hour to make a hamburger... and... I wonder what's wrong with this world.

Very good camera placements!

very good video peter..thanks for your time

Hi Peter. Great video. I would also like to see the probe auto-setting the offsets. Thank you in advance.

looks like you made your own pallets? real world!!

I remember when we machined really large aluminum Castings like this, using a 300mm Facemill on our big vertical boring center

Definitely do want to see a video on probing automatically!

im now watching you do your fixturing in avoidance of doing my own (much smaller) fixture.

Definitely recognize those mitzs ran them for about 5 years. The 800mm ones.

Always but always use packing around sharp edges under lifting straps 5:09

Those picky weird customers :) just let them know we the viewers do not care about them building there space crafts or what not we just like the content you share its informative and educational... not everything has to be hush hush secret secret proprietary mumble jumble. Great vid as always... From Cali...

Nice Editing of the tool change segment.

Man, I miss running aluminum... The shop I work at we only run castings, steel weldments and 8620 for the most part. I run a big boring mill but every now and then I'll hop on a 600mm pallet horizontal when they need help. My table is a bit bigger at 63 x 86. Most of the parts I run are between 6-12 thousand pounds... lol I havent seen any of your other videos but, you could cut down a ton of setup time going to ball locks to align your tombstones. Dont really need to dial in as long as everything is clean going on.

I could have done that same job, faster, on a manual Lucas Boring Mill. Lot less calculations, nervous checks, and room for error. I like C.N.C. been using it since 1986. But, I think too many times, there is a lot of wasted effort when CNC operators insist on doing a manual job. Just my opinion, and it's worth what it cost you.

Removing a machining tombstone with a beautiful Kurt vise

Great video Peter! I was just learning CNC machining in 1982 and tried out a Rennishaw probe for the first time on aHulle-Hille horizontal 4-axis machining centre. Over-confidence of youth I'm afraid.....The machine controller wouldn't let me override the feedrate manually whilst in the probing cycle, I recall, due to the axis velocity being critical to probe accuracy. Also it's hard to dry-run with a probe and nothing to touch, so I went for it at 100%...the Z-axis didn't stop when the probe triggered, so the the probe rammed itself straight into the workpiece and totalled itself. I never, ever, did anything at 100% for the first time, ever again. I can't recall how the probe didn't stop the axis moving at that time, but I must've resolved that somehow. Embarrasing and very expensive mistake.

Great videos ...

Ah man just watching you take all those cap screws out and back in made my wrists hurt, ya need one of them impact drivers

Peter, I think when you were measuring the finished 14" you were saying that the top was slightly wider than the bottom. I was wondering if this was the result of tool pressure, or possibly because you set an unmachined surface on 4 blocks rather than 3, and possibly it could wobble a little? Would using 3 blocks have been any more stable?

Nice video, keep it up, thanks :)

Another excellent video. I agree with the great edits on the tool changer. Nice to show what it actually takes to change setups, been through a few of those myself so I can appreciate the effort. i trust the TI plates came out ok?

when most of your day is fixturing and machining is a second op

Wow! Super impressed!

Nice tombstone!

This was awesome, I love the tutorial on the numbers... Can we see more???

Running the spindle high RPM. warms it up and it gets longer. Possibly why it came out a hair small.

I had no idea what you were talking about but dam it was interesting. I’m not an engineer by the way 😆.

I would love more information, the video length is just right

Good job!
