Did your controller already have the Probe signal set up for input 62 from the factory, or did you have to add it? Do the probing macros depend on this being set up, and if so, it has to be input 62? It looks like the macros call a G31 with some parameters to use the second probe input, so I'm trying to figure out if additional setup like this is required.

We love midwest cast aluminum 5083. Very stable and free machining

Bra where's the steel 😋

Thanks

Thanks for the nice breakdown of costs. I've been using Midwest for a long time, and their prices for many materials are excellent. And the quantity discounts are really good. In addition, shipping is also reasonable. However, is worth playing with too. It will often increase by only small amounts as you add items, and then take a bigger step at some point.

That is pretty much what I do for my small shop, except I didn't know that Midwest Steel gave such discounts for medium quantity orders. good to know! Thanks!

Great video, thanks 👍🏻

Hi Craig, Thanks for posting this. It inspired me to order a Xin Dian vise last night for my Microarc. I appreciate finding out here that the Tormach-provided STEP model isn't accurate in terms of mount locations. With your permission, I'd like to make the adapter plate based on your design. Unfortunately I'm getting a permissions error when trying to access the Fixture Model page ...

I can't find the default password to log into user level 7, what is it?

Nice video, but you haven't addressed the reason why the traditional diapers don't work for single point thread milling - that being that the tool is a sharp point, ands thread dimensions are not defined to a sharp point - so if you use the traditional numbers, the thread is too small. So you walked in the cut until you had a good fit - that works, but there is simple math you could do that would give you the correct numbers without having to walk it in.

Thanks for the video. You mentioned that you're doing some feeds and speeds testing. Just use Hoffman Vratny tools. They do a range of cutters for most materials. I use a hole range of their stuff, including their long reach aluminium cutters, and they are a breath of fresh air. They have exact feeds and speeds for every grade of material, for finishing, roughing, HSM etc. I don't bother with test cuts now, as i just know they'll give me a great finish first time.

I'm having a real hard look at these Syil machines. Do look like awesome value.

Are these Pierson pieces basically zero points? Why would you use this over a 5th axis rocklock base?

What zero point is that?

great job explaining the methodology on tool orientation.

What tool racks are that?

Nice video! You have earned yourself a new subscriber. I’m a one man shop as well and enjoy seeing other one man shops getting things done and spreading knowledge.

😊

NYC cnc has an excel spreadsheet that you can fill out and will give you the offset. It takes into account the flat on the tip of the cutter if one exists

OUCH BRO!!!!

What do you program with? Mastercam?

Just bought the 3/8” version and went from 30ipm to 150ipm in 316 stainless. Very happy with the results.

Can I ask about your tool setter mount? Did you buy it or make it? I’m also using the 5th axis plate and the silver cnc er40 and chuck, works great!

WTF its syil x7

Well explained

That 90° looks really useful.

very cool. are you going to make those for sale? would love to upgrade my x7 i hate the stock manifold

Great video, looking forward to seeing the rest of this series. I have a question re your WCS positions. If the first vice is located in G57, why did you select G54 and #1 for the first part? I’d have thought you would have used G57 and # 4 in that setup? Because your vice and part are modelled, the mill knows where the part is off G57…. I’m just not understanding using 2 different WCS’s for the same work position. I use G54 (1) for my vice in my X7 and G59 (6) for my 4th axis.

I just started using the haas carbide drills on my X7 and its night and day difference.

How about an hho pulse jet.

I have an X7 and do rigid tapping all the time and never had a stall. May I suggest you use TG1 spiral flute machine taps as well as using a compression/tension tap holder...it is just good insurance.

Sorry 8k RPM, not 6.

Just what I needed. Thanks

Haven't done this with an x7/syil, but one thing I've done in the past when I've had issues like this is just making a "guest" network on my wifi that is separate from my main wifi. I use google/nest wifi though so I am not sure if that feature is available on other wifi units.

Great content would you mind posting links to the products you use, it would really help us beginners to get up and running.

The classical piano is a nice touch.

I'm setting the XY coordinates for each position of the rocklock. They'll correlate to g57 through g59.

What brand vise is that?

Which probe is this? I’m currently looking at the silver cnc probe for my x7

Much more reasonably priced than the GOdrills. How do you like the performance of the Hass carbide drills compared to the GOdrills you had? The Hass tooling seems to be a good value.

Деньги остаются в России !!!!

Sabes como configurar la maquina de milimétros a pulgadas?

Filezilla may be a better software for ftp

Thanks for this! I have a LNC Syil and this is perfect. Where did you learn to code? Trial and error with lots of youtube?

Cheers mate

when using the miteebite pitbull clamps I cut some brass shim stock to use between my stock and clamps. The talon's I do the same so the clamping marks are very minimal.

We only have standard kurt vises. Great to see whats new in the vice world.

We've tried them all: Schunk, Erowa, Pierson, 5th axis. Where we ended up landing was standardizing was 96mm 5th-axis/Lang for 3-axis application and Erowa ITS for 5-axis or automated applications. Pierson does have the very real benefit of very good pull-force and stability, however. That said, we eventually sold our eight Pierson's and going all with Erowa and 5th axis

Haas Tooling is great; just keep in mind most of it is YG1 or other mid-tier high-quality brands that Haas is whitelabeling. We love them when we're in a hurry and need good value, but if we have time we order directly

This is a seriously great channel -- subscribed! Have been eyeing these for a while and was impressed when Eric over at Orange showed us these units running production of more vises parts. We may have to give these a try for when we do run non-automated parts
