lol same here. Here's my tool change procedure: Hunt for the hex key, hunt for the cheater pipe, root around the drawer for the right tool, tighten the tool to what you feel is good and hit the start button.
An awesome app to look into getting if you ever want to program these kind of machines CNC simulator it lets you write programs and runs the program on a simulated CNC machine
I knew nothing about cnc 2 years ago. I do maintenance and change ball screws bearing packs etc...I can jog, set offsets, and cut parts now but I load there program.
Machining is not too hard, programming Code and the right strategy to finish a part correctly so it fits the tolerances - that's something that only is learned and gets better with experience. I love these videos from titan he really makes people get interrested about the trade. dang wish i could even migrate to the US and work for him :D
@Metal Dawg yes i know, i work with these kind of machines. I mean with the setup done on video, there is no toolholders that could work in half position?
@@X197ToPlay It is so easy to break tools if you mess up the the turret set up. But this goes in the right direction - long tools one side short tools the other, no one want's to crash their brand new kennametal bad boys ;)
@@harduslauwrens2501 yehr i work on Mazak whit VDI tooling, you wont crash somthing there. Cors the spacing is perfect and i have 12 index posituins whit 24 or up to 48 tools ^^
The unmachined parts of the turret look a bit rough. They could do to make them look a bit nicer before painting. I know it does not detract from the machine running but does make me question overall quality of the machine.
@@harduslauwrens2501 I bought my first LB15 in the 1980s I think it was and it cost £78,000. I wrote the cost on a big card and put it up behind the machine to remind me of what it had to do to pay for itself.
@@DdgeluvinHic more specifik the HSK-C ( its a bit longer and it have a screw hole to lock the tool into the holder unlike the normal hsk witch use a inside umbrelle style to hold/lock the tool
