I love to watch these video's. I was a CnC machinist for a hydraulics manufacturer for 20 years. I ran there Hard Turn department, all of the parts that I worked on were super small and had to be run to super tight tolerances (one part was +-.000050). We used Hardinge GT lathes and had Epson robots for loading and unloading of parts. We had to use diamond inserts because we did finish machining of the heat treaded parts. Most of the parts we were making a seating area or a bore that have to last over 1,000,000 cycles before we can even sell them. Most of the parts were run in under 1 minute with loading and unloading with the robots. With that setup I ran 4 lathes at a time. I love watching the other side of machining, the size of the parts that you work on always make me laugh, to me they seem so big to be almost comical.

That bronze looked nasty before turning. The music selection was spot on. #goodtimes

I miss machining aluminum bronze . It hurt so bad on the manual but it was so easy to hold tight tolerances and such a nice finish

Buongiorno MAESTRO CHRIS. Complimenti per il tuo video, e ADORO l' operazione di FRESATURA per fare il dado. Ho sempre amato la fresatrice. Ciao 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

Always a pleasure watching the creation of something out of nothing. Great job! :o)

Some swarf re-direction can make life a lot better....Great video!

Ten detal waży więcej niż wszystkie, które zrobiłem przez ostatni miesiąc 😅

I remember the thread on reddit and I am still shaking my head at the groove tool and round button tool suggestions.

I have to agree with certain comments.. that is absolutely remarkable! Thank you again for the beautiful work you do Chris! Thank you man, it's awesome!

You do very nice work. It's a pleasure to watch your videos, keep them coming ! :)

Respect. Thank you Chris.

Amazing finish on these as usual, button tools are a bit of a challenge but because of the round shape they are subject to chip thinning so in order to maintain the correct chip thickness to use the chipbreaker the feedrate needs to be a lot higher. I'm sure you've tried it before and you've got a process that works well as it is! For others who read this there's a lot of literature on sandvik coromant website which explains this, and for those who are inclined there is a formula which can be used to determine the chip thickness

Chris that is some great work

excellent jobs👌 and well filmed mate thanks for sharing 👍

Great work, thanks for sharing 👌👍

Cool work. Job

very good job chris

hi to pierwsze to duża i ciężka szpulka na nici. pozdrawiam Jacek.

Best machining video's in the world.

I love watching your videos can you make a long video 🎉

Nice work. Thanks.

milo sie oglada

Nice :) #DuplexCNC

That bushing was so small I feel like you could have used your little CNC lathe.

Bronze is very tough to machine in production. Great job. I am starting a machine shop with my father. We want to focus on turning only. At what point do you decide to put something on the VTL vs. a horizontal Lathe? Is it diameter of chuck or simply length of part? Or perhaps rigidity considerations. Most likely we will start with a vertical but I would love to be able to convince the investors of a VTL. Let me know your thoughts.

Oh I was also going to comment have you ever used a peck cycle? Try it with the round insert and slow your rpm down, it will break the chips great I used to do it with a 1 inch round grooving tool for big flanges

Very nice. Didn't you flipped the bronze bushings too many times?

What is your machine pressure are you using to hold the finished side with hard jaws?

11:52 Is that a custom boring bar? It seems like the top of it isn't flat. For coolant?

what is the groove in the holder at 13:20 for?

is that clamp just used for more rigidity and stability?

Here from Brazil. What is the sound track?

name of the last machine?

what are the wheels for?

What state ?

What feed and speed and what are you trying to groove with

Nie możesz spać? Dopiero 6 rano 😁

how long did it take

Złote a skromne 😂

Well you wouldn't have got all that done in 1 week Chris.A lot of machining in that job.

Chłodziwo do wymiany i wanna do czyszczenia

Poor strategy with the button insert. VERY shallow depth, VERY fast feed. I'm talking .01 to. 02 DOC, (R) .05 TO. 10 I.P.R. Divide SFPM by 2. No coolant.
