- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- If you love small machine shop tours like we do, you'll love this! You won't believe the incredible work comes from this 1800 sq ft shop (solid steel impellers that are 2 FEET in diameter). Let's head up to Vancouver, Canada and take a tour of SSCADCAM with Amish Solanki. Not only is he able to achieve some of the most breath-taking surface finishes, he's been able to follow in his father's footsteps by evaluating industry needs and buying a machine that allows him to fulfill work that no one else is able to.
It's been an honor to get to know him and see him grow these past few years and I can't wait to see what he's going to do next!

"Licensed To Mill" T-shirt.....very nice.
where to get?
This is super inspiring to see as a one-man operation! Great video and awesome shop!
So sure I worked with Amish’s father in Lethbridge, Alberta. 35 years ago. I’m still making chips
every day.
Kevin! How amazing! Was this at Dresser? I'd love to touch base with you.
SS CADCAM Inc. it sure was at Dresser. . I knew he went to Vancouver and , life goes on. Your last name
is what twigged me and then I saw the resemblance . Very cool shop. Nice to see this kind of thing with multi generational
machining. Made my day.
That is amazing!!!
You guys aren't talking about dresser crane by chance are you?
I’m pretty sure that holder with the blue ring is an adjustable balance holder.
There should be a bunch of set screw in the holes under the blue cover. It’s for ultra high speed spindles in the 50,000 RPM and higher range. By moving the set screws in and out around the perimeter you can finely adjust the balance of the holder in the spindle.
At those speeds balancing of the tool is critical as the spindle is often an air bearing system (physical contact bearings just burn up with the friction) . The spindle rides on a cushion of pressurized air between the inner shaft and outer bearing housing. An unbalanced tool can cause the inner spindle to hit then outer sleeve causing damage and nearly instantaneous seizing of the spindle.
The tools are balanced off machine in a balancing machine and adjusted. It has to be a manual adjustment as every tool and collet is slightly different and affects the balance differently. And the faster it spins the greater effect an unbalanced tool has.
Thanks for that info. I always wondered how the balancing was done. It's nice to know that you don't just shove it in the machine and start slowly increasing the RPMs until you hear something wrong and then kinda guess which set screw you have to adjust.
what you said is mostly true but balancing is as important for spindles that run at 20000 rpm and even 15000 rpm having a really well balanced tool will give you better finishes and less chatter people just tend to ignore it because the spindle won't be damaged but if you are searching for better tool life and better surface finish balancing can help a lot
Good people bump onto good people. All the best for Amish and the team at SMW. 👍
Always love your tours, John. Amish seems like a great machinist and friend!
my nycnc times be changing and I love these kinda videos more than the ones with chips flying.... maybe because I wouldn't had the balls to start my machine shop this last year without these precious little youtube nuggets
It would be nice to revisit his shop in another 5 years to see where/how he grows.
I loved this! Thanks for shooting. Amish seems really cool.
Favorite video yet....I've followed Amish on Instagram and loved his content.....great to see his thoughts on machining
I really like that he tracks the insert life down to hours and minutes, then changes the tool when the time limit is up! I can sure understand the temptation to go longer but self control says to just change it out. Good policy!
Thanks for the vid! :)
Oh shit yeh!! I've been bugging you on insta to bug Amish to allow you to visit and bug him at his shop! Thanks Amish and John sweeeeeet shop that dmg is a beauty. Cheers James - fifty50 knives.
Amish, dude, you’re super cool. If you’re ever in LA, come visit my humble shop!
The dmgs are awesome to use. My shop got 3 mono75's about a year ago with 3 more larger models coming this year. Really pumped.
Follow up on how he gets fusion 360 to make that machine dance?
Running out of goats?
He said he used Powermill to program that part
@@ryanrhodebeck3925 i can optimize the rough with zig zag (hsm) put a round at the end of piece to prevent rapid movement i think i will do
You don't use crappy software to program that
@@highstreetkillers4377 catia mastercam featurecam fusion ... do you have a preference for software, if yes just let me know
Had to come back to this after seeing him on the recent LTT video. Sure enough it was the same machine and guy 3 years later.
Been watching your videos for years. Im Still learning Fusion 360. Good to see your channel grow and grow.
And if I'm quick. first comment!!!!!
I have to say I have learned the importance of parametric, really need to work on getting better at that in my drawings process
I always throw a lathe tool in my vise and relieve the tool back while it’s in the mill spinning.
Awesome tour ! Always cool to see how other shops do work
What an awesome guy and engineer 👍
This guy is next level
Awesome
Goid luck !^^
the amount of knowledge needed and all the little parts makes me dizzy. I like that he's running all this from an 1800 sq ft shop awesome.
I made stuff like that before CNC....3-Headed Bridgeport Mills with Hydraulic Controls to rough out three turbines at a time..
One pocket at a time.... Index and do it again.
Then to the 3-D Pantographs to finish out the pocket.... They said we machined a pocket, and the blade was left.
But they measured the blade at points layed out by scribe lines!.
I feel safer flying today than I did then!
Inspirational amish, would love to see you get on youtube for some milling expertise! Thanks for sharing
I don’t need to see this before pressing the thumbs up...
I worked on DMU 60, DMU 80 ,DMU 75 Monoblock, HSC 105 linear, problem with the glass is the chips are constantly hitting it and the glass gets in very bad shape during longer period of time. This can be prevented by applying glass protection from inside which will save you money. I run heidenhain on all machines except from HSC 105 linear which had siemens, and I can say get heidenhain if you can :) I hope that someone finds this useful.
I made a aluminum protector for the glass when I run production.
Thanks for the tour! Vf7 is starting to get to a nice sized machine. :-)
Fantastic shop so cool
Never would've thought that tools can last such a short while! No wonder machining is so expensive.
He's a scaredy cat to index them so much. Good programming and tools will last years, in steel he should use air blast and they'll last longer. Gundrill oil is even better, impossible to melt a tool using gundrill oil. But it's over $10 a Litre
The tools themselves do last years, I was thinking of the cutter inserts.
Nice that u help your own people
Finally a new tour! I like it. Were you at EMO this year?
beautiful shop Amish!!
Love my space mouse i am lost without it as well
Enjoyed John!
ATB, Robin
Very interesting guy, highly professional approach, any more than 3 axes and I am confused.
Thanks for sharing.
I’ve heard you guys talk of Talk of this mysterious person but never knew his IG name. Thanks
Awesome stuff ...
Excellent video. Very impressive shop and machinery. Thanks for posting!
Nice outro: "thanks Amish for the Haaspatality"
@Ed Rees No?
Ed Rees i
Funny he acts like his dad was crazy for some of the toolings he made and used. Sometimes you gotta improvise when you have deadlines to meet, especially if you working after hours and you live in an era when overnight mail was unheard of. lol
Brilliant insight thanks for letting us in.
Nice T-shirt
Every time somebody says “you know that mike Bloomberg had a point” this is one of the videos I send them 🤣
What is the story with the Matsuura falling over?
I really wanted to know the same
Do tell!
There was an Okuma that fell over due to an airbag failing at the teardown of IMTS last year. Don't know of a tipping Matsuura
@@Thebigsailor007 Also, a booth over (at the Mazak booth), they had a forklift burst into flame. It was an exciting teardown.
As far as the Okuma, airbag valve didn't close properly or something, so the bag just kept chooching, and tipped a LB3000 (iirc) over. Dude almost got flattened. A wooden storage box saved his life. There's no space for jokes during installs or teardowns, stupid things can and do happen.
@@orangedream267 I was in the Makino booth when that happened.
You think that Vertical Mill is huge you should come to our shop and check out our Vertical Monarch and our Horizontal Mitsubishi.
I really enjoyed this one, thanks!
Did you have time to see AvE?
John didn't want to go shooting, downhill mountain biking or snowboarding! Probably best he stayed within the safe boundaries of Vancouver his first time out.
Lmao... It takes a bit as an American to adjust to the great beauty that is canuckistan....
@@arduinoversusevil2025 LOL
I works on DMU 85 this is a crazy CNC i love works whith :)
Wow, that was impresive! respect to this guy! Just out of curiosity, would be interesting to know the cost for that large almunium block. I guess it is pretty pricy, which leads me to a second question. When working with that large of a workpiece, is it common to start of by making a scaled down model, testing all the toolpaths so that a large workpiece dont go to waste. (*You mentioned that you started of on alumnium instead of steel when prototyping, but what about scaled down?) Are proffesional machinsts so confident on a new project that they can dig in to a large workpiece after just checking the simulation of the toolpaths?
it is like sci-fi film
Amazing! Loved this vid!
this t shirt is awesome :)
Finally good see canadian flag
thanks for awesome video.
at 31 min I quite panicked looking at the drawers behind his back as they slide out.
I know from my own experience and believe it's not what you wanted
I heard Helical Solutions is in the middle of building a new facility. You should definitely redo the tour in around a year or so!
at the meeting point, the guy's face was as of a cat in the cellar full with whipped cream jars
Ed @4:21 being Ed...just downing some coffee.
Who said it's coffee? ;)
@@sscadcam I figured I'd keep it PG
@Ed Rees don't drink the coolant 🤣
Haaspitality* cool shop :)
imagine having a dmu50 in garage or ur cellar
Wicked
Wow! 100 inches a minute on a tool that sticks out that far? I haven't cut aluminium in years, but I still can't see how that's done.
Awesome
Question to Amish: Is an ALU tryout representative for steel?
If the ALU final product checks out right...
Can you just add steel, adjust feeds/speeds, and expect the same result on steel as final product? Is DMG MORI just that good?
great vid mate, thank you, very inspiring, followed :)
I like it
nice shop
Need to start using kennametal products to increase run time on tools
Any thoughts on switching from a sandvik 390 to a 790 for aluminum? I know the 790 is designed for aluminum but it doesn’t seem like it would be any different than a 390 with h13a or cd10 inserts. I think it even has the same recommended cutting parameters.
How much did that alu cube weigh wen starting? How much does the actual steel cube weigh, please?
i see a rittal sk33045xx , i make those a work :D
Why you considered more DMG Mori instead other like Mazak, Makino, Okuma and etc?
Great tour!
What are the reasons he isn’t using a zero point system to quickly change setups on the dmg? A crane next to the machine would be useful also.
That's coming shortly!
I need a boss like this. I'd be handed this job,told I have 14hrs to do it and get yelled at when it's not done in time. Guy spend a week on fixturing.
May be a stupid question BUT - How to do you guys do the keyway? Is it done on a 5axis for is broached the old way?
@SS CADCAM I would love to know what PowerMill is giving you that Fusion 360 lacks(just curious)? especially for those large impellers, and now that you have PowerMill do you see yourself fully phasing out Fusion?
PowerMill is amazing. Seen Fusion on TH-cam and it looks like junk software. I use PowerMill to machine 50 ton blocks into car molds. I doubt you could machine a cars front bumper with fusion
What type of yearly income would a one man shop like this expect to generate with a nice 5 axis machine?
You need to get an Overhead Crane.
I'm pretty sure those planes are 757s.
That dude is driven
Loose carbide cutters in drawers= nails down a chalkboard!
i like to watch this, but not using metric system is killing me a bit
Hi ! Is this a 1 man shop or there are other people working there too ?
How much of a sad sack would you have to be to thumbs down this video.. 👍
I thought that Amish CNC machines are powered by horses.
nice machine and setup, but I'm a little confused with why that face milling is done so slowly - mainly the tool path hopping over the part to get back and cut in only one direction??? with all of the money invested in tooling and machine, how can you stay in business?
He makes one-off parts, not production. You don't have the time to spend on optimization. And you have to be more cautious since it's the first time.
This was done to have the chips fly back towards the machine away from the glass to minimize damage. Speeding it up and going both ways maybe would of saved me a few mins max.
I just got my new VF2SS and I have broken (3) 6-32 taps already with rigid tapping. I started using firm taps for all sizes below 10-32. Is that a normal thing?
I don't get how people break taps. I almost never do. Blind holes? Make sure your drill point is deep enough for tap, check hole size is right, and use coolant. Not stupid tapping paste. You should invest in form taps or thread mills if you have a problem
Does a million dollars could buy all of machine like that
What micro scope brand does he use? Anyone know?
Hey, how to emoss a 3d pattern on round bar?...
THere is only one DMG 50 in BC ?
44:44 i see on computer line code? you have to write all line code? with G lines?
Software does that. I could type it up in his 5 axis for the 2d we saw. But 3d is impossible, millions of lines
That's not a dovetail ... is it wow
Bro which is better fusion360 or ug nx or something for mould
PowerMill for machining. In molds you use Lemoine for gundrilling. Fusion360 is for TH-cam machinists. Never heard of any shop using that. Really fancy software for molds is Tebis, but its $100 000. I'd stick with PowerMill
I'm confused is there some sort of NYC cnc snobbery about a space mouse? Looked like a guy who's "crushing it" in comparison is using one? Or not?
how the price ???
Anyone got an idea how much the dmg costs?
How I can connect with you
How much money can this guy make?
Sure makes my mini mill look obsolete..
Haas mini mill? Used one of those 15 years ago. Junk. Couldn't drill a 3/4" hole in Aluminum
@@highstreetkillers4377 about two weeks ago. 7 1 inch base plates 4 corner holes .875 dia. you must have got a beaten machine.this ripped thru i was impressed. 7.5 min run time....ps hot roll
@Nhilistic Komrad I HAVE 3 CNC MILLS HAAS MINI, A TORMACH 770, AND I BUILT A 28X5' CNC ROUTER...I REALLY DONT NEED ANY MORE.....ALL KIDDING ASIDE..
@Nhilistic Komrad you may get lucky try it..
