Right at the end of your video you mentioned turning a HHS blank with a diamond insert. Now I have never tried turning hard steel with diamond but I have done it many times with CBN inserts. I have always used diamond for abrasive stuff like carbon fiber of glass reinforced plastic. As well on the grinder I would use diamond for carbide and CBN for steel.

I gotta say, you should look into (making?) A conduction probe. Light turns on as a current path is completed through the machine. Maybe make that trigger a lil transistor or mft or a stack of such so that the machine can know when the switch is triggered. That or use what amounts to a series of IR leds and a remote receiver. The device is super simple and probably a fun lathe project.

@Skyliner_3692 ай бұрын
@@RotarySMP Well, you got the tools for it. at least most of them. That being the grinder and the lathe. it's just a ball on the end of a stick with a plastic separator either mechanically held or glued on, or even screwed on, though if I remember correctly, threads are not a locating feature. It's definitely not a priority, yeah, but if you need to get something out and you're stuck twiddling your thumbs... it might be something you can do, if you're comfortable with electronics. really, yeah, the hardest thing to do is to get it talking to LCNC while rotating. Hence my idea of using 3-6 IR LEDs. could also use slip-rings but that mightn't be the most reliable. Also rotation's to couter the ball maybe not being round enough.

Hope you checked the runout after you snappede the 4mm off and mounted the 5mm. Since your suppose to always check them every time you mount a new. Onee in ( when I was still in traning to become a machinest I snapped one off. Put in a new one and didn't understand why it was so much off. Then one of the old guys told me that you suppose to check it every time you mount a new ball. Cause it's never perfectly centered/just like the last one. And when I then checked it it was about 0.4mm off ) Personally I would try and make a spindle toolholder with the face match the 3d probe and is pulled up through the body itself. Witch makes it as short as possible. Free up a tool holder and also seems like a little fun project to be honest

It was jammed because the dial face was not level and jammed the needle. Then you have to set the range of indication to the ball diameter.
