    Hi Mark that sure does glow pretty. I did forget to mention on our live stream thread about the taper, is that you can program it out.
    Once you know what the taper is you "simply" program that as your tool path.
    It's done all of the time in production, especially for parts turned between centers , there is no way around part deflection otherwise.

    Hi Mark. Another great video. Back in the day, early nineties we used to turn hardened toolsteels D2 and O1 mainly at approx rc 60 using ceramic tips these also put out nice red hot swarf. I haven't done any real hard turning since. With the cnc lathe I think you should try putting bigger radius on diameter change steps as much as possible to avoid stress concentrators. Especially with rotary broach tooling.

    I did some hard turning of some 62 rockwell C tool steel the other day, what I found was the inserts would almost immediately chip but then would cut just fine on the chipped surface for a decent amount of time. I wasn't using any kind of special insert, just regular stuff for turning steel. I'm guessing hard turning likes a blunt edge, so that CBN insert might last some time even with the chipped edge.

    Oh this is going to be a good one. I just went through this with my Wolhlaupter head with a integrated 1-1/2” straight shank.
    I too used the CBN inserts on my lil Clausing Metosa C1330S manual lathe. I was able to turn that 1-1/2” shank down to a .010” oversized 3/4” shank, then finished it up with the trusty tool post grinder down to size. Them Wolhlaupter heads are case hardened to Rockwell 20,000 billion I think….
    But I managed to turn it down with only one tip of one insert by taking .005” passes or less.
    The plan was to “practice hard turn” the shank down and then ultimately cut the shank off and drill and tap it for the differential screw ( I believe it is 20mm 1.5 and 16mm 2.5 pitch but I haven’t been able to confirm that yet) they also had two 10mm drive pins at 40mm on center.
    Boy am I’m glad to see you taking this one on. I’m hoping to learn a little bit more and interested to see how the Schaublin does as well.

    Linux tip! Instead of using an HDMI splitter, you could capture directly in software from your LinuxCNC machine since -- it's a Linux machine! Normal things work on that too. You'd only have to make sure you have enough performance dedicated to running the actual machining program first.
    Fortunately, a feature on Linux called cgroups is very good at guaranteeing some minimum specs (ram, cpu, etc...) for the app, and you could test it to see if doing both simultaneously causes either frame loss or spindle issues.

One of the 18V linear regulators that supplies gate drive voltages for the IGBTs was toast (only producing 2.2v not 18, and when tested out of the circuit, wasn't a regulator at all anymore), and there was also a voltage supervisor chip on that rail, with an opto to the digital control side telling it that the IGBT bias voltages are all good that was shorted.

    and its not just with hard turning that you make plasma deformation but you actually do that with every metal machinigh operation ( even grinding. we where tought that by seco back in school when i took the education as a machinest )
    also there is a roughing technice that i developed. tested and used myself witch extended the inser corner life from 4 parts pr corner to more then 25 parts pr. coner with the same feed's and speed's witch i call "constant varying depth" it casly have to be hand programmed ( at least for now ) but it is super effective to increase the tool/corner life of the roughing insert

    Great video Mark. I have recently acquired a Wohlhopter UPA 4 with an ANSI 4 / MT 4 taper arbor that I want to change. However mine does not appear to have a removable arbor like yours. Do you have any information about the UPA 4 that could help me?

    • @RotarySMP

      Is there a hollow arbor with an allen key wrenching hex down inside it? If there is you need to turn it clockwise, as though tightening, to allow the differential screw to release.
      Some of the earlier Wohlhaupter had non-removable arbors though. There is a video out there of a guy converting one.

    At some point with the rotary broach, how does one go about accounting for the hole depth you're going to lose to the swarf(?) that's being compacted into the bottom of the hole? If I need x millimeters of hex key tool engagement (depth) in this bolt I'm making, and the tool is a y millimeter hex, what is the initial "x + z" hole depth I'm going to have to drill/bore?

    Does Linux CNC have a MDI mode where you can execute single lines of code. If so something like S3000 M02 could pre start the spindle and the real program would not be accelerating the spindle at program start. You could get real fancy adding the spindle speed and start to the main program along with an optional stop. BTW The Chinese make a direct copy of the Narex so that may be an option for a cheaper arbour. (toolmaster from Hare & Forbes here in Aus and Unzud

    You didn't seem to be breaking any chips. Is that because the CBN inserts don't have any chip breaking geometry, or because you were taking too light of a cut? Maybe flat top geometry is the proper chip breaking shape for HSS turning, or hard turning in general. Just curious about what sort of chip should be created with CBN. Thanks for the content!

    • @RotarySMP

      I dont think you ever get chip formation with hard turning. The part plasticizes ahead of the CBN insert. It doens't really matter that the swarf builds up, as the part is HRC 64+, and wont get scratched, and the fine wool is soft enough to not get jammed.
