Nice work. Here is a piece of helpful advice. If you use a single flute end mil, you won't need to use coolant/lubricant. The single flute mills have less cutters thus creating less heat. They also have an aggressive lift rate to remove chips faster and reduce double cutting.
@@Navigator777777 I've used them and they are awesome. Just have to be careful of the tips. If the machine moves and the bit is not at the proper height you might loose the tip of the insert. But that really is nothing new since you can break a regular bit if you do that.
I'm not an engineers or machinists boot lace but it amazes me the load of hype around 3D printers these days. Watching this and compared to how long it takes a 3D printer to do bugger all I'd have to say that I would much rather have one of these units in my shed any day. Great stuff and well done.
@@Protocorner I'm interested too. Would you like to share some of the details on designing such helical gears, pipeline process, etc?? Ive already built a simple 3axis CNC, driven by mach3, and I'd like to know more. Thank you
The 4th axis worked really cool! I think the majority of thumb downs on this video are because people started watching it thinking the first gear was made with a 4 axis CNC. Then before seeing that you added the 4th axis for the second gear they just clicked thumb down and left the video. Great work! Can't wait till I can add another axis one day. Maybe on my next machine!
It looks like the torch was used to smooth the part out. It probably burned the burrs off, but it also would help blend any stepover lines. Heating up acrylic also helps it look clearer as long as you don't burn it =X
Very cool video - I really like how you showed the two pieces in action. As entertaining as it might be to watch my machine make things for me, it isn't very entertaining to watch on videos. Editing is our friend.
Very good video. Dare you to design a helical & spiral bevel geared group drawings and their CNC fabrication program to manufacture them together with bearings in a workshop CNC machine in a professional way?
this is very awesome! And now, I know what to take with me on my next trip to ikea! those lamps seem to be realy useful! Again, this helical cone gear looks amazing greets
Metabo 710 Watt Electronic (router) The material is fluorecent greenish acrylic 3mm sheet. It glows because our work lights are pointing towards it. Flat surface takes the light in and the edges show it (surface edge ratio).
Use a 1500+ W heat gun on max, or get a torch with a heatspreader to get better results out of finishing the acrylic. greater clarity less chance of burning and distortion on your precision parts. Just a helpful tip :)
oh my god i want one of those machines!!! god i love CNC. i have a b9 creator 3d printer but something about this type of machine makes me so excited lol. I saw comments you have or will have videos on how to make one so I'm gonna check out your other videos.
We are not yet so experienced to know the spindle speed and feed ratio for different bits milling acrylic. We have experienced heavy clogging milling deep cuts in polycarbonate. Using coolant is just a precaution.
Love your video and really nice work on the gears. I've cut a lot of plastics and I'd bet that if you can get your spindle speed down you'd not need any lubricant or coolant. Was that acrylic and delrin by the way?
why not have both... 3d printers have good qualities too. When you can load g code into an sd card and walk away the time it takes hardly seems to matter. I love printers for there ability to make complex structures that no milling machine can duplicate like a pocket with a captive nut in the side. Its really no matter once you have been bit by the cnc bug you find a way to need both types of machines anyways
BIll Georgoulakis Thank you! We are using car window wash fluid, but viewers have pointed out that its a neurotoxin and flamable so maybe not the best choice :) Not sure if it improved tool life we mainly used it so it wont melt the plastic and get stuck on the tool bit.
How does the machine know where the piece of material is? do you have to place it in a certain place? or can you just plop it down anywhere and the machine just goes to it.
Great work 👍 , as far as final product they looked okay but I think you can get much better results from 3D printer and strong materials from nylon filament. Never the less good job on the 4th axis.
Sweet. This gives me hope with my own projects. Do you have a workshop near Helsinki area? Would be interesting to have a chat about the process of making gears etc..
bonjour quelle est le produit que vous utiliser lors des opérations de fraisage merci Hello which is the product that to use you during the operations of reaming thank you
I have a CNC router at home, but I don't know to work with complicated things like you!
Amazing work!
Regards from Brazil!

Thank you! Glad to hear someone so far from Finland is enjoying our videos =)
Awesome job. Looks extremely precision also. Great finish.
Thanks! Stay tuned for a new video coming soon about our new CNC machine!

+Kaden McDonald Thanks! I think you are right!
Very Nice Job. That CNC looks to be a worthy investment of time and energy. Nice to see your hard work paid off!
Thank you for your question. Torching is done to make the polycarbonate more transperent.
That gear turned out beautiful.
Great result for such an cnc router ! Well done !
CNC-STEP / CNC Router and Water Jet Cutting Machines for wood, plastic, metal and other Thank you! =)
Great CNC and love the flame polishing
Thanks!

Benefits are a low boiling point. We had not considered the fact that it is indeed flamable. Thank you for pointing it out!

Wow, this is impressive... Haven't tried any CNC stuff muself, but there sure seems to pe great possibilities...
Thank you! You have some very interesting videos as well!
Thank you! The router is a Metabo 710 Watt Electronic Router.
We have milled aluminun succesfully. It is a joy :)
Metabo 710 Watt Electronic (router) The material is fluorecent greenish acrylic 3mm sheet. It glows because our work lights are pointing towards it. Flat surface takes the light in and the edges show it (surface edge ratio).

Thank you! A bigger one is coming soon! 70cm x 180cm work area, Z 37cm.
Very well done. Loved watching that. Keep it up.
GREAT video for those of us just adding the 4th axis to our set up. Thanks
Thank you!
Nice and precise machine. Congratulations!
Thanks! Our new website is under construction. There will be more details there about different projects.
Thanks! We will also make a bigger one in the near future.
Air to the roots, if, as and alcohol
Really like we need.

butane torch would be used for polishing the plastic. works really well with acrylics not as good with polycarbs
Yes. The liquid is car window cleaner fluid.
Ethanol, isopropanol + water.
We are not yet so experienced to know the spindle speed and feed ratio for different bits milling acrylic. We have experienced heavy clogging milling deep cuts in polycarbonate. Using coolant is just a precaution.
Very cool!
That a perfect job...thank you for sharing...
liked and subscribed!!!
Cutting fluid. Keeps soft material from sticking to the cutting tool. Provides better surface finish as well.
3D parts are made with a CAD program and then moved to a program called Meshcam.
Nais, need one at home^^
I cant imagine life without one now.
Thank you! Yes the lamps are very useful :D
great job
good job guys
Would also like to know what you were using as cutting fluid... Nice machine.
Thanks for answering his question!
sure you can make an awesome gear set, but can you make a clamp to hold the spray nozzle/hose? lol sorry, great job :)
Sounds challenging =)
Very cool Video.Did Meshcam do all of it including the rotary axis?
Nice work
This gear was made to test the cnc and for practise and training.
Thank you! TheTauKing is correct. meshcam + mach3
Very nice, I want to build something similar. Do you have plans or a website that goes into more detail about it?
Thank you!
That's is very cool,looks like my 4axils CNC ; the different ; mine is a big scale 3X5 ft
We use different CAD programs to generate the objects.
Congrats! Very well done! The job and the video!
What program did you use for generate the 4th CAM ?
Love your video and really nice work on the gears.
I've cut a lot of plastics and I'd bet that if you can get your spindle speed down you'd not need any lubricant or coolant.
Was that acrylic and delrin by the way?
+Darcy Whyte Thanks! The gear was Polycarbonate. The spindle speed range is 11 000 - 28 000 RPM. The ruler is Acrylic. And the black pinnion was POM.
+Darcy Whyte what spindle speed do you recommend ?
+Dennis Peacock something slow. :)
Pretty cool.
Now you just have to build a car around it.
Hey, nice video. What do you use as a router? Is your CNC able to mill other materials as aluminum? Good Job
Thank you! We will try that!
I'm wondering why you didn't feed along the tooth for the bevel gear?
good job
Good work.
What benefits do you get from using it? I can't see why you would use a flammable liquid as a coolant.
Thanks!
How wonderful is what i am seeing
+Abd El Rhman Sweed Thanks :)
why not have both... 3d printers have good qualities too. When you can load g code into an sd card and walk away the time it takes hardly seems to matter.

The coolant is car window wash fluid
Well done!
Very cool!!!
What is the cutting fluid you are using there? Did it improve tool life?
BIll Georgoulakis Thank you! We are using car window wash fluid, but viewers have pointed out that
its a neurotoxin and flamable so maybe not the best choice :) Not sure if it improved tool life we mainly used it so it wont melt the plastic and get stuck on the tool bit.
You will probably find its to prevent the tool clogging than overheating, when machining aluminium I use kero for the same reason
fantastic job, what is the 3D software you are using for gear making
And what CAM software to generate Tool Paths?
fantastish ! fertig und genau
jim
time is not the only dimention that can be considered as "fourth". Neither x,y,z axis...
How does the machine know where the piece of material is? do you have to place it in a certain place? or can you just plop it down anywhere and the machine just goes to it.
charlesy kim We calibrate it. We take the drill to the middle of the work area and zero it.
Great work! Looks like a great little milling/routing machine. Can I ask what program you used to generate the gears?
Great work 👍 , as far as final product they looked okay but I think you can get much better results from 3D printer and strong materials from nylon filament. Never the less good job on the 4th axis.
Thank you! No, we had meshcam to do surface drive over 2 teeth. Then we added to the G-code the 4th axis to turn and then repetition.
What is the best method to avoid melting the plexiglass?
Maybe liquid cooling
Thank you =)
Sweet. This gives me hope with my own projects.
Do you have a workshop near Helsinki area?
Would be interesting to have a chat about the process of making gears etc..
Pistä mailia osoitteeseen protocorner@gmail.com niin palataan asiaan
very cool machine! but damn man when is your birthday? I'm going to build you a cutting fluid feed
Thanks, but we have one now =D
cool...what g-code program do you use?
Max Noble
Meshcam generates the g-code
thanks man for this video, could you upload videos on how to build a CNC milling machine
Why torch it at the end? For strength?
very cool! fantastic, precise results. what are you making?
DMonZ1988 i.e. what are the gears for?
Thanks =)
you were making scaled down plastic diff gears weren't you?
What liquid are you using for cooling?? Alcohol?
bonjour
quelle est le produit que vous utiliser lors des opérations de fraisage
merci
Hello which is the product that to use you during the operations of reaming thank you
No time travel capability in this cnc. The fourth axis is the rotation around the x axis.
Sorry,what program designed gears ? Tank you
I like your machine, are your xyz axes all ballscrew driven?
Surely you dont need coolant for machining acrylic?
Sorry, how you make 3d mesh for milling and - are you have done this machine on your own?
Best regards?
sei bravissimo.
good work
+Vshine Technology Thanks!
Well Done.
Emir Asil Thank you!
that program used to generate the G code?
I would be very helpful
THX
fantastic
Thank you =)
Do you guys know where I could get this kind of service? I need make some axles.
It sure is! =)
