The animation showing how the machine retains the tool holder was outstanding! Thanks for the info.

The animation of tool was amazing and eyeopener. Outstanding talk guys. I loved the entire video chat. Thought provoking and educational.

From my experience the "tool release" button on the control panel helps when you have a large or heavy tool in the spindle you need to remove. You can use two hands to hold on to it while someone else hits the "tool release" button on the control panel.

Also used when the umbrella/arm run into a faulty error your able to use the walk through on how to safely drop the tool and the button must be used for safety

Coolant fed twist drills are either done by drilling angled holes toward a center hole down the spiral which kinda sucks because you cant really sharpen it too many times. The more interesting way is to drill the holes in a straight flute blank then twisting it into a drill shape before putting the final grind on.

hello, Spindle of CNC which have ATC and spindle of standart CNC without CNC are the same or if CNC have ATC it should has special spindle which have different construcion?

I find these videos educational, even though I may never get to use one of these machines. excellent. At 3:30, I would have emphasized the notches more specifically.

that fast loading looks like a real time saver.

Hello, do you have an assembly for this in SOLIDWORKS?

One must designate any tool over 3.5" in diameter to a large pocket in a VF-2. The two adjacent pockets must remain empty and an extra tool change cycle will occur when calling said tool. The larger the diameter the more centrifugal force; combined with weight it will do a number on your spindle life. Ever notice how tool 5 might be in pocket 21 or any other seemingly random pocket. You can call tools by pocket through MDI, instead of M06 T5 use M06 P21.

4:49 With a Haas machine, from I see. Is that they have a rather large gap compared many other machines. Not sure why it's designed like that for. The spindle taper should cover all of the available tool taper if possible.

There's a gap about that size in my machine too -- it seems to be to the cat40 spec. I know there are some machines with certain spindles and toolholder geometry that are "double contact" though and they can often sit with less gap on normal toolholders. Perhaps that?
