@Dariel Hayes thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I’ve always liked German and Swiss engineering and manufacturing, being Dutch and having worked for a Swiss company. I have always found the US incredibly ingenious and very good at large, complex projects. Actually a lot of the theory and practice I’ve learnt is from US literature. I have the DRM by Lieblich, the two books by Moore (“Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy” and “Holes, Contours and Surfaces”), to name a few. I think the US generally gets a lot of bad press, like it’s “not happening” there anymore, or worse. I think you are showing the heart and soul of the USA (without getting political).
It always seems to amaze me when take the time to work and modify the fixtures that you create . It is absolutely amazing! Great Job! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 👼🏻🙏🏼👼🏻❤️🇺🇸👍🏼💪🏼🇺🇸
Nice touch milling the center seat. On manual lathe we called that peeling the center where you use full face lathe tool set at 30 and peel the center to get it to run true with the steady rest surface. ATB, Robin
Thanks Robin; There can be issues with center drilling and steady rests. Maybe I should do a video on this subject. With this machine if you center drill with the milling spindle and your not perfectly on the center of rotation it wont be obvious like say on a engine lathe. If your off center in a tail stock there will be a obvious wobbling of the drill because the part is rotating. This is the reason I prefer to establish a turning center rotating the turning spindle.
Edge Precision you explained it very well. If I do use center drilling, I always add a small boring bar to kiss the center just to make sure its thru to the center of rotation.
So many quality video's coming out lately Peter. Keep them coming. The only thing i'd love to see is when your talking about feeds and speeds and depths and widths of cuts it would be amazing if you maybe had a box or text come up with the metric conversions for your international viewers which im sure they would appreciate.
Thank you for sharing tooling sizes, brands, speeds, and feeds. I find it useful information, please continue sharing your expertise. I enjoyed your esprit cam programming, I am used to mastercam and it is nice to see other cam software. What is that tool you are using to clear out the tapped holes? It looks like it can get into some tight spaces.
Thanks for the video Mr. Peter!!! It would be interesting if we can watch how you change coolant, if you filter them, if you add more water and how you clean sludge and oil from your coolant tanks. Maintenance of the machines is as critical as the precision machining. Thanks again!!!
Love your videos and the calm atmosphere. A small request: I like the channel because it's really natural and calm. To increase viewer comfort, is there a way you could turn down the machining noise slightly? I find that it's a bit loud (high pitched due to increased speed I guess), but as I turn the volume down to a comfortable level I can't hear your voice and I don't want to miss that. Just a thought. Thanks for the content!
Beautiful Video, excellent work and knowledge. I really admire your work and as much as you know, I want to ask you: At 17:56, when you start milling the bar, isn't there a risk that the bar will lose its cylindricity and because of this there will be a gap in the fixation of the telescope? With the clearance, it would certainly generate a vibration, causing problems during machining. My name is Sergio, I am a programmer for up to 4 axes. Congratulation.
20 minutes goes by in a blink in these videos, great fun to watch. Not sure everyone recognizes the amount of work you put into getting all the various angles. Just the shot of you hauling the part around to the bandsaw took some time. Quick question, do you think it would help to add some coolant jets to the steady rest to help clear chips before they get steamrollered? It would of course be better for them not to get there in the first place, but just wondering if that would be good enough for most applications.
This steady rest does have coolant passages running thru the jaws. For the next operation ( when I post the video) you will see why I need to use these solid jaws to span gaps. On roller jaws I hav thought to make rubber wipers/seals and flood coolant under the rubber wipers to keep chips out of rollers.
@@rolandtamaccio3285 hes right you can just take the hight of the extension and add it to the offsets. But theres always a voice in the back of your head that tells you you should double check to be sure. Better safe then sorry i just found it funny the way he phrased it thats all.
Great video Peter. I have been wondering for a while now (can’t seem to find any mention of it in any of your videos) but what coating is on your endmills? It appears to be AlTiN by the looks of it and I’m just curious if that is the case. If so, it’s pretty impressive that you are able to dry cut aluminum with those without chip welding in the flutes being that AlTiN should have a very high affinity for aluminum. Thanks in advance
Most all endmills I use are coated with TiALN. When mill aluminum it is important to use some kind of coolant. Either a air mist or flood. I have even sprayed on WD40. If your tool runs dry and your running a high surface speed the aluminum will build up on the tool.
Yes I said the same in a earlier comment. If you go thru the previous comments. Some one responded with a comment telling me what they are and what there for.
When you get your jobs do u instantly start thinking of fixturing ideas ? Have you made any videos how u go from getting the drawing ,making the program and all the fixturing in 1 video?
Yes it’s part of the planning of a job. I think anyone would. You have to visualize the operations and how you will hold on to the part/stick to get the part out of it. In the case of this job it’s the second time and I have some experience on how not to do it.
I do have one video on planning a job from a cad model. I do plane on doing more videos on that subject. This is the area of machine work that determines the success or failure of a job.
Great keep the videos coming. Very interesting and the way you plan/explain everything is very helpful . I love machining and everything that goes into it.
sunppaa recently bought himself a 40-taper Mitsui Seiki HS-3A made in 1991...it has a 15-M control...a bit late for a machine with that control but it is a more advanced control than the 16-M.
Great video as always. Really enjoy the attention to detail. What was the indicator you used @9:10 to measure thread depth? Not sure I've seen one of those before.
The gauge is made by Allen Gauge. Its one of their thread depth indicators #5226. Got to this link allengauges.com/products/thread/ you will see these gauges.
Weird question Peter, but would you say that machining has taught you to be calm and patient, or did you have that quality before you ever entered the trade?
When you did the CAM in Esprit, were you able to position in the part perfectly in the stock as it was in real life(offset from the center of the bar stock)? I'm trying to do the same thing in Fusion 360. Maybe I haven't figured it out yet but it's definitely something I've never done before.
In Esprit there are various ways to define stock. You can use there standard stock definitions. A bar or tube for lathe type work. You can define a box around the part or import a solid model. You can also save and recall a previous simulation for the next operations stock. All of these can be positioned in different ways. Sorry I have never used Fusion or I could give you more detailed information.
I program a doosan 3 axis mill and dont use software. I do small parts. And still learning. Are there can canned cycles for pocket milling like that? I'm currently experimenting with sub programming and think that's the only way. But would really like to know if there is a canned cycle I'm missing.
The gauge is made by Allen Gauge. I have had this gauge for a very long time so I don't know if the still make this model. The numbers on the back are 5226 and 4664. The number on the dial is 102. I don't know witch number is the model number. They are still in business at allengauges.com. go there and you will see all the different gauges they make.
@@EdgePrecision They are actually called alligator forceps or Hartmann forceps. They are typically used for removing foreign bodies from the ear canal or nasal passages.
@@EdgePrecision I have to send you a Dimide clamp to try out, our local friends/company makes them. Cool video you made, as always! You inspired my channel
@Edge Precision : What are the mechanics that lock/hold the chuck and/ore spindle stationary when relevant operations are performed? I suppose an encoder used to clock the rotation to the desired angle, but then some brake must be applied that does not move the position at all. Curious, I am!
If you are speaking of the turning spindle. When switching from turning to milling the machine does what they call coupling the C axis. The sequence is this. First the turning spindle is oriented by the turning spindles motor to a zero point. While that is happening the C axis servo motor is moving the worm on its shaft to zero. When they are both zero the worm is engaged into the gear on the spindle. When that is engaged properly the turning spindle is shifted into neutral. There is also a breaking mechanism on the C axis so when it isn’t rotating its locked with a break just like any rotary table has. So to go back to turning all that is necessary is to uncouple the worm from the gear and shift the turning spindle into gear. Than start the spindle.
@@EdgePrecision , awesome thanks. I am building something similar as a multipurpose 4th axis for my small mill. For the "vertical" spindle does it lock the rotation in a similar way to keep the turning tool holders stationary?
No the milling spindle has the ability to clamp/index every 15 degrees. The way this works is with a hydraulic cervic coupling. There is a disk on the spindle in front of the spindle bearings. Inside the housing. This disk has keys in it like a cervic coupling on both sides of it. There are two ring shaped hydraulic cylinders on each side of the disk. And also a ring outside the disk on the spindle with the same keys as the spindles disk. So when the spindle is clamped for a turning tool. First the spindle is oriented at the angle called for than the two ring cylinders are advanced to engage the coupling keys. They engage until both the coupling on the spindle and the fixed coupling around the spindles coupling are pinched between the ring cylinders with the keys engaged. This system is very carefully balanced so as not to displace the spindle in its bearings. Also when clamped it takes the load of the turning tools not the spindle bearings. When the spindle is clamped and unclamped there is no desirable axial movement in the milling spindle. That is a little hard to explain. I hope that makes sense.
Could anyone tell me what was used to measure the thread depth of the 1 5/8 x 12 thread? I normally use wires or a thread mic but I have never seen anything like that before.
You know I didn’t even check seeing as it wasn’t critical. But after your comment I went and measured it. It was .0005” per side or .001 total on the thickness. That could be even adjusted out with the tailstock. This tailstock can be adjusted in all planes.
@@EdgePrecision so about 0.012mm (Brit here 😉) across that length isn't really that bad is it? What year is your mazak, we have a few at my shop I love them they go forever.
Yes but as I have explained in other replies it is difficult to use on this machine because I cant reach the control when looking at the tool at the probes folded down position. If I had a jog pendent maybe. It is actually faster and I can see the tools actual position on the control when touching off on the part. So I prefer doing it that way on this machine.
No. The closest I have got to a injection mold is making molds for the wax patterns that are used in investment casting. These molds are usually made out of aluminum. They are technically injection molds at a low pressure for the wax.
Man, your clearance to the live center on that threading OP had my shoulders all hunched up watching it. Probably just the angle, but definitely cringe-inducing.
The steady rest in this video is a manual one I built. The jaws adjust with the bronze nuts by hand. I do have a hydraulic steady rest that can mount on the same mount. It can be opened and closed with codes in a program from the control. There are no springs on steady rest jaws. Once positioned you don’t want them to move. The hydraulic one does exert constant pressure from the pressure you have set with the regulator.
I love the unexpected size of your machines. They don't look that big on camera and then you get in them. Thanks for the great videos.
I think it's great seeing your thought process in resolving issues that you had on past machining ops.

The steady rest in this video is a manual one I built. The jaws adjust with the bronze nuts by hand. I do have a hydraulic steady rest that can mount on the same mount. It can be opened and closed with codes in a program from the control. There are no springs on steady rest jaws. Once positioned you don’t want them to move. The hydraulic one does exert constant pressure from the pressure you have set with the regulator.
