What are these parts for?
How come you are not using stops?
your bottom die doesnt have enough relief.
@@DieselRamcharger yes, seems to he the case, the rebar style bend was better
@@DragonflyEngineering look at a roller die like a rolla v
FYI I've bent 5/8" 303SS rod 90 deg on a Harbor Freight "44" Compact Bender" worked great.
@@funone8716 thanks for the tip
I understand that there's a "grain" (like wood has) to rolled sheet metal. Do you have to take that into consideration when bending sheet metal?
The imparted bend is definitely cold working the metal.
@@MrBmetz99 I don’t think so, but I am a beginner in sheet metal. Also, dont know the original origin. Thanks for watching!
@@infrasound311 yes, agreed, thanks for watching
ive seen guys using 3d print dies now......proto type work
@@DJ-yp4kc cool, I may try that
Got a link to the toe jack your using? I am getting clise to getting a machine so getting my moving equipment ready so would appreciate it👍
I just purchased it on amazon, there is a wide range to choose from. I don't recall my jack maker, other than i got it on amazon too. Thanks for watching!
Do you offer consultations?
@@garretehrick6137 yes, but maybe in a limited capacity
I really think you need a much bigger space :)
@@fnordingers yes, I agree! Thanks for watching

8:17 He almost had to go search for it.
I am a avid follower of your videos and It is my opinion that you are making a rear contribution to the education of the creative communities which I belong to. I would be grateful if you can suggest the likely clamping force for an injection mould of volume 750483537mm^3 and Thickness of 732mm Thanks for your suggestion
@@davanchike9326 3-4 tons per square inch of the parting line area. Your mold acts like a piston where the molten plastic is the pressure fluid
5 cu in of dirt? Sounds like you have a real piece of work for a neighbor. Too bad all the mental institutions are closed, because it sounds like they need to be in one!
I dunno property values are kind of crazy in cali--that 5cu in is probably worth a few hundred grand. :D
He just admitted to stealing it, so his reputation if forever soiled, at least until the next rain.
@@kevinreardon2558😂
@@blahblahblahblah2933 Oh, so you have seen the housing prices in the Bay Area.
Years later, the best video on injection molding still, you should make a paid video series teaching people the art man!
Sounds great .
I worked for over 15 years in the plastics molding department at GE back in the 80’s and 90’s. I was the setup and can’t count the number of installs in did during that time. We did injection and thermoset molding. This video brought back memories from back in the day. Some of the equipment was from the 1940’s while most of our equipment was state of the art, modern presses. It was nice to see the advancements in equipment that have been made since our factory closed.
Thanks for watching!
Hello, I am encountering an error when trying to import configuration XML files, with the message: “Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” Do you know what might be causing this issue?
Sounds like in your XML file there is a declaration of a object that is not assigned a value? Maybe look for another XML file? I am not very familiar with the software side
@@DragonflyEngineering I downloaded the XML files again from Beckhoff's official website to ensure their integrity. Anyway, thank you for your prompt response. Greetings from Argentina.
@@lucasnieva9251 maybe you need a different rev level to match the age of the beckhoff? is it new? I may be able to send you the XML that i pulled from my robot...
Hello, I'm from Ethiopia. I learned a lot from the video. One thing that I couldn't fix or had trouble with is when it opens the mold. How can I fix it? Thank you.
That brings back memories . I something similar back in the early 1970s molding 55 gallon plastic drums.
@@BenjaminHaro-j9l thanks for watching!
Have you have any issues with the cpu ?
@@blufade no problem, thanks for watching
Neighbours suck sometime
Well, I don't think those rafters / roof will be going anywhere - they look pretty overbuilt! 2x8's or 2x10's or something? Wow! That's not a very long span, were those really necessary? It's not like you have snow load to worry about! Or are you going to put a lathe or something up there to really p'o the neighbors??
Well, it turns out that there was an additional 2” of a gap that was added on top of the original roof, so I had to upsize the 2x6 to 2x8 pluse 3/4 plywood on the one side. Thanks for watching!
@@DragonflyEngineering Oh, that makes sense. So were the rafters in the existing side also super beefy and upsized? I can see why you'd have to match that to get the roof deck to line up
It must suck to have litigious neighbors.
jerk neighbors come in many varieties, but litigious has got to be one of the worst
Yes it does, but on the other hand I got me going on building a second house, so I make out in the end
@@DragonflyEngineering hello dear sir I tried to call and also try to reach out to your instagram but still I didn’t get chance to talk to you! Please advise me how to do contact you i i need some help or information related to your work…
I'm work for making exterior parts of the car of hyundai in S.korea . I'm usually operate 2000 ton - 3200 ton machine. (LS emtron) we make most exterior body pannel, Fender side, rear trunk , tail gate door pannel. (ABS, PC+ABS, PC ASA, PC+PET) How about using HAITIAN ?? Does it work with precision? I used the same machine 5 years ago. BUT ..............................................
Thanks for sharing! How many times can you use the same electrode?
@@En3rGyFaNforEv3r a few time but they slowly dissolve, cut a fresh electrode for a sharp finish
It's pronounced remnants not reminants! Nice EDM you have there and a retractable oil tank too.
Just a bit on the rough side though, 😂
Hey i am from india and i work in plastic moulding company. You make amazing video a lot things to learn from your video
if you wanted to get into programming parts for this type of stuff, but you don't have a cnc machine to do the actually machining on, is there a way to get your hands on this software or some form of simulator?
@@kiegh autodesk fusion 360 cad cam software can be downloaded and used maybe for free if you are a student or at least not a company. For mastercam you would need to ask your local reseller
Thanks for sharing your exceptional knowledge. Truly inspirational.
The most underrated tool in metal machining... COOLANT! Even when you are milling or turning a softer material; it will preserve the life span of your cutting bits/carbide inserts.
It’s pretty safe to say you might not ever have to buy another bandsaw in your Lifetime if you put a little TLC and time into this unit the DoAlls are pretty much the Caddalac of them. all I have family that owns large Machine Shop and I’ve volunteered to help them set up newly acquired Machinery as my Profession was Woodworking and I have a bit of experience setting up large heavy Machinery that are also highly accurate and Precise the Do All uses a CVT Pulley System to change the Speeds it’s basically the same style system Snow Mobiles and many Golf Carts use to transper Power from the Engines to the Drive Wheels
Hello dears DAVID and April how are you ?
Thanks lot
Thanks for video
hello you must use stock model together with optirough it is very important so that it takes into account your 3Dpart and what is left of stock. it removes the air cut. Kenneth Cimco CAD-CAM
Thanks for the tip, always learing.
Is this is yours?
Yes, thanks for watching!
At the 16:48 mark I was waiting for the Crazy Lady Next Door (TM) to come running out yelling "YOU CAN'T PARK THERE!!" The finish work they did looks first rate.
That's a good size slab. You got a tank to park on it? 😊
you want aluminum rectangle tubing for your screed not bar stock. so its not all floppy.
Thanks, the guys who did the work had a tube screed like you described. I used the flat bar since I can use it for machinig stock later on. Thanks for watching!
@@DragonflyEngineering hello sir how are you? I would like to call to understand some KRC 4 configuration, so please drop your email or contact details…
@@dontharmothers8531 hi , you can go to the dragonfly Engineering website shown at the end of the video, there is a contact form on the website
On the model trains - do you know there are self unloading model wagons? In case you don't want to bag your parts and just unload them.
nice feature. Thanks for watching!
Nice job !
I do appreciate to download Very useful and easily understanding videos . If you can make another video how to adjust scew position, residence area and cuscine area.. injection pressure and speed,hold pressure and time etc etc. Water temperature for polipropilene,ABS,FB,POM metrial.
so glad you included the swearing parts.. your machine sure is clean..
Yep, part of the job. Thanks for watching!
90 ton? Really? Maybe 9,0?
The 90 ton is the clamping force of the molding machine, it weighs about 3.5 tons. Thanks for watching!
Your assistant lol Thanks for the video
Hai i am from India. Thank you very much for clear explanation about kuka configuration..
