Crazy CNC Mill Turn Machine - DMG NTX1000 

Thanks Stephen. I will upload the video in full over the coming weeks. However, I want to get Lionel on film to explain his approach and methodology. Cheers, Aaron.

G'day Peter. True that buddy. I will upload the full video in the coming weeks. You should see it part transfer and finish machining in the sub spindle. Cheers, Aaron.

G'day Matty. Imagine one of these bad boys running parts in the "Matty's Workshop" shed. Now that would put the cat amongst the pigeons LOL. Cheers, Aaron

G'day Mike. Yes mate this is my buddy Lionel over in Vietnam. Can you believe that he programs this beast conversationally on the controller and doesn't use a CAM package. It's bloody unbelievable. Cheers, Aaron.

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering Brilliant man!! So impressive. :)

Thank you 🙏

G’day Doug. Yes mate, it’s a very impressive machine that is for sure. I believe this was his first batch run of 100 parts. These are flywheels for little brass steam engines. Cheers 🍻, Aaron

Thanks buddy. It certainly is a beast of a machine. Hope you’ve been well? Cheers 🍻

G'day Max. I will ask my buddy Lionel when I'm on the phone with him next. His machine is total beast, I wouldn't even know how to turn it on LOL. Cheers, Aaron.

Ha ha ha, you're not wrong buddy. This NTX is a total beast of a machine. Way to complicated for me though. Oh, I spoke to Arty from LiveTools about you and your idea. He is keen to chat with you about it. Cheers, Aaron.

This NTX is really a beast of a machine. I wouldn't even know how to turn it on LOL. Cheers, Aaron.

Hi Thomas. I agree, as a manual machinist it is fun machining parts manually but not a batch run of 100's. Automation is the only thing that can do this unfortunately these days (cost, price, time etc...). Cheers, Aaron.

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering Indeed. My major problem is getting out of the manual turning habit. Programming a part, or even a basic operation just doesn't feel like I'm being productive when I'm stood infront of the laptop, but the outcome is always quicker and better on the CNC.

I think this way was easier and quicker. Especially as he was running a second part in the sub spindle.

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering if you are running 2nd op on the subspindle, doing a tranfer+bar pull with the subspindle is faster. You index part off tool catch with sub spindle and feed the 1st part+2nd part+ part off tool width and you have it. The other way you also have to change the tool to the bar pull and pull the stock. It is faster, is how DMG Sprint 50 works

G'day Paul. Yes it was mate. A CNC 60 Second Sunday. I will amend the description. Cheers Aaron.
