I like your videos. This is "cutting edge" technology. I've never seen it done but I've sometimes wondered whether it is possible to machine steel while hot. E.g. cut the steel with the steel around 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Obviously, the steel is much softer that way. You would not be using water to cool it. Heating element such as tungsten or induction heating would be keeping the steel hot. The main issue that I see is that your carbide bits would be snapping off.
Either missed steps in Z or bugs in Mach3. You might write some gcode to just do rapid movements in z repeatedly for a few hundred times and see if the machine ends up back at the original spot.
Hey, I’ve got a Robi angle grinder...... I just lack every other bit of machinery you have, as well as having no skills or experience.... guess I’ll keep buying blades. ps, when you heat treat, you’re clamping the blade afterwards. Normal temp. or cooled plates? I thought you had to quench in oil or similar?
I think your end mill holder got lose and then on one of the cuts your end mill was pulled out of the collet. But your cnc still made the next linkige toolpath to the top and draged the end mill through the whole blade
I get all my DB knifes from AliExpress. Very good quality knifes and cheap price. You know you succeeded when your product appears on the Chinese market!
