I was telling co-workers back in the early 80"s about how CNC would run most guys out of the business. Still, the hands on guys are the ones that make this stuff work. Those guys are rare though. When I started in T&D the competition was fearsome. BTW, I am a Daniel also.
In my experience, CNC is fantastic at mass production of high quality parts en masse. However.... custom one-offs, prototypes, and most R&D are manual machine and 3d printer. AI will surely change that though.
New viewer here.I've watched about a dozen vids. Neat stuff. Seeing a cam made is interesting. Btw -- what is the fluid made of basically ? I suppose water based rather than solvent based these days ? Maybe I'm wrong ?
AISI S7 tool steel is a shock-resistant air hardening steel. AISI S7 steel has exceptional impact properties plus the highest hardenability of shock resisting grades of tool steel. Steel S7 also possesses good softening resistance at high temperatures which gives it hot work capabilities. Since S7 steel hardens in air, it is also safe and stable in heat treatment.
Good video Thanks building new engine piston to wall 3 to 3.5 th 2618 piston 4.155 bore racetec Piston they call for 3.8 th my Gauges maybe off a little what is your thoughts on it
Normally we use s7, after the spool is turned into a UGL it would be heat treated then and after heat treat you temper.... you can't temper a part till it has been heat treated
Yes, at some point, we still need to write and prove the mill program, make the gear, fuel pump eccentric and timing gear flange, still many steps to go

I'd like to see that process from start to finish! That would be very interesting to watch! Thanks Daniel!
Definitely
I'd love to see more of the process!
Will do
I concur
Ditto!
It's amazing watching a CNC machine do the machine work and the speed it does it in cool
You got that right!
WOW...very cool..!...& u do this in house...?..?...WOW...!...GREAT video...thanks Daniel...!
We do most things in house
@@powellmachineinc3179 that is great 2 here...nowadays...!..!
Sir, your level of knowledge and skills is impressive. Thanks for sharing with us.
My pleasure
planet fitness machine shop lol, kool short , first time to see cam being made, age 61
Glad you like it
That is so cool................ Nicw to see your CNC fixed.
It's the Haas cnc mill that's down,
@@powellmachineinc3179 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
Thanks for share all this information , a super detail for fabricate a product that 💯 , proud of be a owner that can said MADE in USA .
🍻👍🏼
💯
It would be amazing to see how the lobes are ground, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
That is an impressive machine

@derekbridgerii2102 I worked and still work in the R&d and prototype field and we use cnc equipment 80% for those job's
That machine is all business.
BAM BAM BAM.
Definitely
I'm excited to see how you rough in the lobes.
I'd, like more information on this.
What would you like to know?
@@powellmachineinc3179 Can you do one off's for motors that don't have roller cams available in the aftermarket?

Yes it's a water base synthetic coolant

Very cool! I assume the feed rates go down when you run tool steel?
Correct
Very cool!

How do you harden or heat treat the camshaft. And is there a certain type of metal that you use or preference?
We have a company that does it for us, normally custom stuff is s7
Do you guys offer in house dyno tuning?
Not right now, our dyno room isn't finished
What material do you use (when not making a practice run on aluminum?). Is there a heat treating process later?
S7, yes definitely
S7 is some good stuff, though maybe a bit overkill for a cam.
AISI S7 tool steel is a shock-resistant air hardening steel. AISI S7 steel has exceptional impact properties plus the highest hardenability of shock resisting grades of tool steel. Steel S7 also possesses good softening resistance at high temperatures which gives it hot work capabilities. Since S7 steel hardens in air, it is also safe and stable in heat treatment.

Should be .004- .0045
@@powellmachineinc3179 Thanks Keep videos coming good job
So what specific metal stock are you using and is it tempered or do you do your own tempering?
Normally we use s7, after the spool is turned into a UGL it would be heat treated then and after heat treat you temper.... you can't temper a part till it has been heat treated
Some cheap aluminum. Regardless, machining tool steel won't work the same. 2011 won't machine the same as 4150.
@@danhillman4523 Someone is wrong here........
You can control your quality this way and probably a better product also!
Definitely
What material is that?
Oops, already answered!
Was that a practice run on aluminum ?
Yes, don't want to waste tool steel
@@powellmachineinc3179 Dont blame you at all
@@powellmachineinc3179 Yep. Too stringy for many tool steels.
Are you going to follow this with a video ov grinding the profile?
Yes, at some point, we still need to write and prove the mill program, make the gear, fuel pump eccentric and timing gear flange, still many steps to go
I couldn’t see anything lol
Well.....
@@powellmachineinc3179 maybe a different camera placement next time lol
