Hand writing G code on the fly like a boss!

James, you are truly an artist! Watching you enter code in is like watching a great orchestra conductor. Thanks for another great video.

Thank you as always for taking us along!

The CNC Stanley Cup!

Many thanks for this new video xris

‘Groove here’ *starts the Saturday Night Fever dance*

Great job man The coding was so impressive

There is something very cool about forged chunks of metal :). Thank you for the vid.

Thanks for the explanations!

Holy crap those metal forgers are good at their work. You want 450Ø × 450H? I've gotcha mate.

Very good surface finish my friend!☺

Wow VTLs have came a Long Long way from the 1948 Do'ories VTL I worked around 20yrs ago , these are Way more faster & efficient than WW2 technology ! Thanks

Toolpath simulation available, on that Fanuc? Otherwise I find it rather scary, to run hand g-code directly, especially on such a monster machine. My old Fanuc3T sucks particularly hard in that regard, if you forget a "." it thinks 0.001mm instead of mm ;-/

Super cool, thank you for sharing!

That 21i-TB should have Fanuc’s first version of Manual Guide I installed or at least have the option for it. But seeing that the colors have been switched up using the parameters and you have memorized the “shift” key for typing code, no amount of proof showing its capabilities has ever made me be able to convert the “old school” crowd. It’s first version was super capable but lacked peck grooving cycles for chip evacuation. Either way, with the implementation of some simple macro b you can create your own canned peck grooving cycles and so much more, plus have 3d simulations on that screen giving you real time feedback of what the controller is going to do all while displaying the actual position values and tool geometry. And it had crash detection. Also it will simulate traditional g-code program showing you potential errors in that code as well.

Very nice job

Nice work as always

Thank you for sharing. Would it be possible to show how you center the work item? Always curious with castings and forges

Why do some operations need cooling fluid and others do not? It all looks quite warm.

Great! Thank you for this great video more grease to your elbow

Very impressive 😄👍

I never wanted to try run a vtl as I can't understand how tall parts can be gripped securely!

Thanks for sharing 👍

Great to see you back with a video man, Thanks for sharing your skills

I ran a bullard very similar, differelnt controls. I always liked it

With such large pieces of metal, do they need to be set aside to cool between processes or can you run cuts from start to finish without a break ?

Awesome video. Can you show inspection? Thank you for sharing

Worlds slowest tool changer ever!

what would Lumpy Rutherford have to say ???? ''Gee Beaver.....that is massive, Right Wally''

Any way to reduce the chatter on the button insert tool?

How come no one cleaned up the floor, good help is hard to find.

Can one machine magnesium?

Why do they call them lumps?

5:58 I can hear those chatter marks lol

Bit risky when you're not chucking onto the part securely and taking 5mm depth of cut when the part is that long. Look after yourself.

서건 소재에 적혀있네요 korea haha

Shitty finish on it

are all your machines Fanuc? After 30 years of being a fabby im learning CNC now on a Fanuc run Mill. Your videos are great because I understand the operating system

There is a true risk taker……😶🫵🏼💥🦿🦾🫵🏼
