he could run a contour op on the inside with tabs to save the pieices, but he then needs tyo go back in for another op to clean the inside walls. Jobs this big generally pay soo much it doesnt even matter.

@@airgunningyup i don't think contouring that deep is realistic.

he can keep a level of flatness that's acceptable but, it never will be flat after machining, you'd have to grind the surfaces afterwards

For start, he has a part in 4 vices. That helps a lot. If they are hydraulic vises, even better. The clamping force is the same. If not, you can uses momentum wrench. Yes, things can happen, you can misplace the part, but it really can be under 0.05mm and that is precise enough. Except for maybe space industry, but aluminium is not being used for space. Hard alloys, yes. This, no.

hey, exactly. The workpiece warps by 0.1-0.2mm over a length of 700mm. what is within the tolerances in this case. The choice of material is important. I generally use low-stress annealed aluminum for this.

I had to mill 2 plates last year (EN AW 2017A T451). Similiar dimensions 500mmx600mm. Needed a flatness around 0,02 mm on both sides. The best way to reach this Tolerance is using Pull-Down Clamp Claws. The constantly Turning of the plate and using feeler gauge reduces warpage while milling with lower feedrate and infeed. In this case here these vices are the only way because there is barely no place for tapped holes.

Sehr schön das freut mich sehr, dann mal viel Erfolg beim brechen deiner Rundenzeiten.

Yes exactly the machine runs with WinMax5. However, we don't program using the machine at all. We use Mastercam for this and then just read the G-code into the machine.

That always depends on the current aluminum price, which is fluctuating a lot at the moment.

Thank you very much, I am very happy that you like it.

Thanks!

You're very welcome, I'm glad you like it.

Thank you! Yes, I uploaded the files to Thingiverse, you can find the link in the description.

@@dravemaker yeah I saw after I commented. Thanks

@@SylarXtream ok great :-)

Frag da am besten mal bei @makoongaming habe das ja für ihn gemacht

Hey thank you, the milling cutter is a shell milling cutter from Aura Frästechnik. I mainly used this to smooth out deep contours.

Hey, that´s the 120mm version from Atorn

@@dravemaker 👍

@@dravemaker where could i find that?

Hey thanks for the compliment. The vices are from Atorn. I've also had these for a little less than a year since I got the new machine. I decided on this back then because I can cover a large clamping area with it without having to move the rails. In addition, these were also quite inexpensive compared to comparable systems. That was one of the main reasons because I am a very small company. So far I'm quite happy with it, it always takes a while to clean the clamping jaws when rebuilding, but that's still within limits. I think one of the main disadvantages of this system is that there aren't that many different clamping jaws for it yet.

Vielen Dank, immer gerne doch.

Hey thanks, I really like your channel too. Follow you too.

it is a 0,8mm drill

The maschining time was about 20 hours.

Thanks very much. The frame is part of a thermoforming tool.

I can't tell you that because I built it for a friend and haven't used it myself. But you can ask him if he knows.

@@dravemaker but you still run it with custom simhub dash yourself made?

they were already finished simhub dash, there are just several simhubs next to each other so that it looks like one big one.

You cannot run it via USB to HDMI. I’ve tried. Perhaps with a display driver it’s possible, but it’s not plug and play.

Yes, there are certainly large cutters that would be more effective. But in my case it is the most effective roughing cutter I have. It may be small, but it is specially designed to process a lot of material in a very short time and, above all, in very small chips. That is why this milling cutter has a material removal rate of 750 cm³/min. I also have large shell milling cutters, but they only get to 300-400 cm³/min. So it would take twice as long and I would have to constantly clear the machine of chips in between. With the milling cutter used, I don't have to because the chips are so small that they can be rinsed out with the drilling emulsion without any problems.

@@dravemaker You're doing what needs to be done with whatever tools you have on hands. I work as a machinist too doing prototypes all day long. I never run multiple parts and do a TON of different parts. I have my "go-to" tools that will work for most jobs just like you. The cost of getting special tools for just one or two jobs rarely pays off. You clearly thought about your process and got a working part out of it. If the customer is happy - youre prob happy too =)

Hey, thank you, I couldn't have said it better. Just like you, we almost only make individual parts and then always choose the best from our available tools. The production of individual parts is a nice area to work in, you get new challenges every day. As you said, when the customer is happy, I'm happy too. Especially when the customer gets it quickly, he is even happier.

Hey, thank you for your interest. But unfortunately that's not something I want to write here in the comments. But you are welcome to contact me using the details of my channel.

I added the parts I used to the description on Thingiverse.
