Fadal CNC Mill Machining Brass Multi Axis

its good to run lights out production... as long as you change tools and make sure the part is perfect before you leave and you know your limits to which you can push tools before failure you should never have a train wreck but please keep losing money and send any jobs your losing money on my way ill gladly take them haha

I know what you mean about people claiming to be machinists. I'm a second year student at a Tech. College in the Machine Tool dept. While I lay no claim to being a machinist, rather I'm an apprentice. But, one of my classmates in the first year today told me he's already a machinist and is just getting his degree. I asked him where he worked, he told me, then added that he had been there for all of TWO MONTHS and had just been put on as an operator. How could he call himself a machinist?

i have one ? why not use coolant

unmanned.........? perfect example of a "SLAPDASH" operator......come in the folowing day to find a train wreck.valuable time.? how much time does it take to swipe a pice of schotchbright over the piece? doing this your allways handeling the pice and you can visually inspect things now and again.evryone has there own way of setting up and running.i think calling someone a "slapdash" operator is uncalled for.your obviously one of those who thinks."my way is the only way" keep practising....!

Good coment !!! you telling the truth...I have lathe operators at my work place the also same the same thing...this are people that dont understand the consept of been a good machinist...

The very fact that you don't consider "not much of a burr anyway" indicates someone working in the gut engineering field as opposed to precision engineering, requiring a bit more finesse.
The threading part of the job should come off finished and not require messing about rubbing off burrs.
What if it was a job left to run unmanned overnight, would someone have to come in the next day and spend valuable time deburring?
I'll stick with the best working practise of chamfering before threading.

slapdash.? he's machining brass or bronze.also using a threadmill tool.this type of material.really doesnt matter when you c'sink it.there won't be much of a burr anyway.can probably knock it off with one stroke of a piece of scotchbright if you have too at all.i just love these people who come here and claim they are "MACHINIST'S" i find that alot of people here making comments are barely even operators,i love the lathe operators who tell me the lathe is just a mill laying on it's side.shyt..!

Best working practise is to chamfer before threading.
Very good video but unfortunately it highlights a seemingly slapdash operator.

Thanks, If you notice I do use the circular hole L9401 for the champher tool. I programmed this on the fly and was to lazy to cancel out to do my slots. I should have ran the drill in High gear then I would not have a gear change. But thanks for the comment and the view! oh and also I was thread milling the bore so was not worried about the tell tale groove.

Familiar sounds from the tool and gear changes.
You should try the Circular hole cycle when you finish to holes. The way it is done now is generally not a good way to do it.
Works in soft materials, but if you where machining stainless, you would get a small groove where you mill down the hole.
Try L9401R0+600.R1+40.
R0 is feed, R1 is the diameter of the hole.

nice video

BTW Thanks for viewing!

No, It is a standard 4 flute HSS E-mill. It just produced a better finish.

I was surprised to see the bore milled using conventional milling. Was this a left hand end mill?
