You know I have made videos about Software. But judging from the views they get, it seems that not very many people are that interested in that. But setup is more important that what software you use. It dictates what you do with your software. Also the software I use is not what most people are using. I have used say Fusion to model with but for Cam it is not my favorite and I don't consider myself enough of an expert to demonstrate it.

I’m grateful for the time you take to explain things. There are so many details to metalworking that no-one can ever plan to learn them all from scratch.
Honestly every time Peter releases a new video it really makes my day. He has been such an amazing motivation for me in the Cnc realm so to speak. I just started my Cnc career when i found his videos and trust me, he has taught me more than is imaginable. I really appreciate you Peter! You make more of a difference in the world than you might imagine! You are amazing!
Peter, I love your attitude to in yourself, professionalism and not letting situations bring you to a halt. Designing your own tooling is FANTASTIC 🤣👍. Cheers.
Happy to see the haas. I just figured it would have been scrapped with the flood as I thought it was at your house. I used to watch every single video of yours then life got busy. I really look up to you, you taught me a lot when I was just learning how to machine. After I get my house paid off I want to buy a machine and put it in my garage. Not just for a second income but also for stuff like this. Just making a tool that will make your life easier. Awesome video. And I thank you for everything you taught me.
Always enjoy the longer videos, especially when it covers a project from start to finish! Thank you for the time are care you put into making these videos.
Hey there pal. I just want to say I’ve been a fan of yours for quite some time now. It’s always good to see you post more content, and (we) appreciate you taking the time to do so. The longer the video, the better, as far as I’m concerned. As far as your content goes, I like seeing you make fixtures/new part processes/gauges/etc.-the real meat and potatoes of machining. I like seeing how your brain tackles these individual tasks, and we are on the same wavelength. Until next time! -a fellow machinist
i like to unscrew the contact tip from my indicator and let the ball of the hole attachment cradle on the hole of the indicator, seems to me a better fit, i love your content, amazing work
I need to watch Peter’s recent videos. Looks like he is doing some really long ones. I walked away from the industry a year ago and it can be hard to watch videos on something that I used to be very passionate about.
I have a 2004 TM-1 with the same open enclosure. The max rapid/feed is 200 ipm. It’s my understanding that the machine is capable of 400 ipm, but Haas set the parameters at 200 if the machine is sold with the open enclosure. Machines sold with a full enclosure were set at 400. It’s a liability measure. Thanks for the video
Read the comments of this video. One commenter gave some parameters to change the spindle speed to 6000 rpm. I haven't tried this yet. I also asked him if there are parameters for the feed rates.
Read the comments by @RobertoLeal-z3q in this video. He gives some parameters to change for the higher speeds. I haven't tried any of this yet but I will and see if it works.
hi really enjoy your videos and I'm starting a job as a application engineer soon and im going through your videos because i really like your approaches to things. 1 thing id change about your setup if your struggling for repeatablity 2 domed surfaces is going to be very hard to keep always inline especially due to the distance from clamping to measuring surface so have a look at changing the tip to a flat one on the dial side in my head that will improve your set up but nice job
Thanks! At the time of making the video I couldn't find my set of indicator tips. I have sense found the and replaced the tip with a flat one and it does work slightly better. But as I said in the video. The Starrett right angle indicator device; For me doesn't have the sensitivity I would like. It still varies about 1-2 tents of a thousandth. Plenty good enough for this gauge but I have never cared for it when indicating something on the lathe like it is intended to be used.
Awesome video!! love these types of video especially when you show programming the part. Have a couple question. Touching off tools off top of part that way if a tool breaks your reference point is gone right? Also how in the world do you use 4 flute endmills to cut aluminum with out breaking do to sticking and breaking the tool?
@@raider1628 if you break a tool you touch it off to the top of the part where you set the zero. Another reason to set the Z zero there. But if there isn’t a Z zero surface. You can set a tool on any surface as long as you know where it is. Take your probe and measure anything setting it to another fixture offset. Say the back jaw of the vise. Then use that offset value to set your tool there. As to using 4 flute tools on aluminum. I always do. With the proper cutting strategies and coolant you shouldn’t have any trouble. I don’t think I own but only a few 2flute endmills.
So what machine is that bar in? I don't recognize it. To have a nice sliding and measuring surface, you might want to lap that anvil piece flat, instead of the ground finish. Making a custom tool is always a satisfying project. Thanks for filming it.
There should be a way to set your tool height offset using the Tool Offset Measure button, located under F4. There is a setting that needs to be turned in called “Tool Offset Measure uses Work Offset” or something like that.
There may be a way on the Haas to do this but I would still have to subtract the pin diameter. I do do that on the Haas lathe for it's turning tools. I will experiment with it. Thanks!
Very interesting indeed. For something like this where the loading is very low, do you think a 3D printed indicator holder would work? The loads except for handling are almost insignificant, I think. And some of the new filaments like PPA-CF are fairly stiff. Then metal parts like the anvil could be screw fastened to the body of the holder. I don't really know but the tolerances we need to hold are not as strict as what you are doing. But next time something like this comes up I am certainly going to give it a try. Thing is; in developing the tool it is so much easier and quicker to let the printing machine make another one and try again. Thank you for this very well-done video!
That could possibly work given the right material. As long as you check it to your standard before measuring. It may change du to temp and humidity more then metal.
@@EdgePrecision Good point about the temperature and humidity, that is very likely true. But, then again I always go to the standard whenever I come back on shift. You never know what happened when you are gone!!! You never know! Thanks again for the video.
@@1ginner1 They have all that in inspection. But they are using them. To bring the Faro arm out to the machine and set it up every time you measure is a lot of trouble and interrupts what they are doing in inspection.
After making this comment I thought about it. If you could calibrate a proper probe that could reach under the OD radius of the part maybe it could be done if this machine had probing.
There is no probing on this machine. But in theory this could be done if a proper stylus could be calibrated on the probe that would be able to get underneath the back OD of the part.
There appears to me to be a simpler way to make that measurement. Use your renishaw probe with a large ball probe, calibrate its length and diameter, then use your mill as a CMM. Your machine/renishaw will be a more reproducible measurer than something you need to hope you hold right.
One thought for ya...I would use a flat anvil on the indicator to avoid any cosine error of the 2 balls not being perfectly apex to apex. I think a ball on a flat would serve accuracy better.
No not usually. But if it makes the job easer and less likely to be scrapped (Especially with one piece of material costing $3500.00) it pays for itself.
Change the following parameters for your desires, be warned, without upgrading the spindle, you'll lose more torque power past 4K. 131-MAX SPINDLE RPM 183-Sp MAX FREQ (PAR 183= MAX SPINDLE SPEED / 3 * 10) So for 6000 RPM: 131 = 6000 183 = 20000

Very interesting Peter, I have a TM-1 as well, that made it even more interesting.

If it works it does not justify the solution. The pragmatic direction was to make a simple flat tapered gauge instead of this heath Robinson assembly.

@ That’s fair. The fact that it doesn’t cause a visceral reaction is a good sign though.

I may have missed it but why can't you just use a micrometer?
There's no "flat" opposite the high point of the diameter to mic across.
