VERY informative video. I love the fact that this works for whatever metal.. doesn't matter that it's Inconel or plastic, it's just all adjustments for speeds and feeds at that point. Software I'm using, is Vectric Aspire, using a Tormach 1100mx, and I'm machining 6061 aluminum. So, regardless, it's all just adjusting tool, speed, feed. Vectric Aspire, is not the best software for machining aluminum, but it's what I know. Their Chamfer program sucks however, so I'm just manually creating a new path to guide my endmill to exactly where I want to go with it.
Good day, Question on why are you plunging to chamfer the holes? I've always found that is very hard on the tool and generally chatters leaving a poor finish. It has been my experience that walking around the hole even a slight amount makes the tool last way longer and leaves a much better finish. Or am I missing something? It wouldn't be the first time I was mistaken. Anyway keep up the great videos and cheers from Canada
Walking around is a good way... the Tool was large so I plunged it... I usually just increase the feed to dissipate the chatter and make add a slight dwell.
The hole size in relationship to the tool size can cause issues when walking around as such the programed feed rate much slower to accommodate the engaged feed rate.
Hey Titan Today i wanted to use this trick about chamfering near walls. I understand that you call a bigger tool to get away from the wall. But im kinda not sure how to program the width and depth. For example. I use an 8mm chamfer tool and i call it a 9mm. Should i use 3.5mm tip offset (0.5 less to be safe) and depth 0.7 to create a 0.2mm chamfer?
Curious why such a small chip load on the hole countersink 2 thou per rev is 3 tenths per tooth, but you ran 2 thou per tooth on the rest of the chamfer? Is 3 tenths enough to not rub? I've never used that tool, or ran inconel, but it's so different from the way you ran the rest of the part, it's confusing me.
We ran very conservative just to make sure it left a nice finish... definitely can increase pressure. Since we are teaching in hard materials... I am just making sure it’s a smooth learning experience.
@@TITANSofCNC Gotcha. Thanks for the response So, I know a big part of your philosophy (and LEAN manufacturing, in general) is running parts fast in production. What would you try and run those at in 'real world' conditions?
@@skullfucker3381 I'm making fun of him for saying "shamfer" it's pronounced "ch"amfer. Are you seriously this damn clueless to not understand that I'm poking fun at the way hes saying it?

625 is easier to machine than 718... I do a lot of inconel. I've found SANDVIK 1020 grade the best on the market. Great video. 👍

Hello, screen size?
Hi Titan! Don't forget your metric friends! Could you post the video with feeds in metric also?
Thank you!!
Just convert it.
