@@cayenne7792 Get a used OmniTurn instead: no deflection, more speed, more rigid, more HP, more accuracy, no tool changing and the best, it's made in the USA, not China.
I've been wondering if an AXA size tool post would fit - I'm thinking it probably would with a thinner mounting plate. An 0XA is 60% the size of an AXA so I would expect the AXA tool post would be more rigid. Also, you can get a 3/4" boring bar holder for the AXA which would allow the use of 3/4" shank ER collet holders which could be useful.
Vince, if you have an HSM Advisor License I created a High-speed and Low-Speed profile for an 8L from data supplied from Tormach. I have not tested these as I don't have an 8L but I have been checking out the 8L as it looks like it would be quite good for the type of low volume/prototype parts I would make on them. What is the width of the bed (distance between the V's on the bed)? What do you think about replacing the 0XA tool post with an AXA size - assuming it would fit? The 0XA is what the Tormach Rapid Turn used.
Drilling and reaming is not the same as drilling and boring. Boring yields better concentricity and a rounder hole, if everything is done properly. Under 1/2” dia holes there’s plenty of solid carbide tooling, Swiss stuff etc. obviously on a threaded / tapped hole the difference between reaming and boring wouldn’t matter since that ID isn’t doing much on a threaded feature :)
Good grief, why not just machine this manually rather than messing around with Fusion? Easier, faster, surface finish just as good, and just as dimensionally accurate. As a bonus, it keeps up your manual matching skills.
Probably because their goal is to output parts not waste life on manual machining (unless it’s a hobby). Even a cylinder is faster for me on a cnc with better accuracy and a nicer, more consistent finish. But I like making parts. Others like the making of a part. Whatever you enjoy.
One that knows what they are doing can machine this part way faster on a manual if you are going just for one part. Too many of these people on here are CNC dependent and probably can't even do the simplest of operations on a manual machine and I also doubt their viability as CNC machinists as well if they can't do the part manually.
Thank you for the 8L content
been waiting for more 8L content! thanks for sharing.
2:08 ouch that's a lot of tool deflection
yea ouch
Solution? smaller depth of cut?
@@cayenne7792 i think its too big. If he takes a smaller DOC the tool might rub against the hole and break it

1 1/4-7 is ANSI standard coarse thread pitch. Usually designated as 1 1/4-7 UNC.
Just a clarification. Nice video.
Thanks,

Can you please do a video on setting up lathe tooling in Fusion? The milling side is so much more intuitive.

Does it have to power to cut 4.250 O.D aluminum. Great video.
Awesome 👍👍💯 sir
Vince, where is the Fusion file for this? The link is broken. THanks
Excellent video! Thank you! :)

I noticed your pitch didn't match the actual thread it was for a 12 TPI. Are you just using generic images just for example?

Pathpilot has a quite good conversational threading .
Most guys can also set this up manually inputting G code to do 90% of lathe work like this
Why machine anything manually when it can be cnc 😎🥰

ever heard of G CODE? HOW ABOUT A CHAMFER ON THREADS. inspector would say...."no bueno"
