Working with Mitee Bite inside diameter (ID) clamps. They may not be cheap, but they work really well.

Can't wait for the next video. Have been looking at using these for some of our jobs. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. I have another video I'm editing about adapting one of these to work on my 4th axis.

Good stuff, John! After making a fixture I always find it a good idea to make a machining template for it. That way I can use it in a future job without a lot of faffing about.

Thank you for the very interesting video. I never knew about internal clamps. Now I know.

Definitely very cool. And as others have pointed out, they're not that hard to make.

Beautiful machining footage! I would have totally thread milled that center hole thought. I thread mill pretty much every thing larger than m5 BTW, I am so jelly of your crazy high spindle speed.
@JohnSL2 жыл бұрын
Yea, I need to buy some thread mills. And I'm really enjoying that 30K spindle. Plus the tool changer.

Well done John, they are powerful way of holding a part, I made my own from aluminium, a simple countersunk bolt, it wouldn't have the same mechanical advantage as the real deal, but it worked very well

I plan to try making my own at some point in the future. For these parts, I wanted something I was confident would be reliable. Especially because I'm not holding onto much material.

Do you know how you would clamp a part with a slot?

Hey John, Quite informative. Is this id clamp available for 5mm components? We have a rotary blade of id 5mm to sharpen edges, and we really struggles to hold the job for production.

It looks like the smallest on sold by Miteebite might work: www.miteebite.com/products/id-xpansion-clamp/

What would be the best material for this expanding collet ?
@JohnSL Жыл бұрын
These are made by Mitte Bite, and their web site says they're made from 12L14 steel.

no milky coolant, what do you use? I see its clear.
@JohnSL2 жыл бұрын
It's Blaser Synergy 735 coolant. I chose it because it's clear, which is great for video.
