This is just the machining of the part. If there is interest I will make a video explaining the thought/planning and execution of the setup. Let me know in the comments if that's of interest. Thanks!
Amazing to see you back, Peter! Your videos always feel like a dip into science fiction, both in these huge complex parts I'll probably never see in real life, and in the mind-bending machining it takes to create them.
Simply excellent to see this cnc work done by Peter on that whopper Mazak.. No typical RU-vid "content" fluff, just machinist excellence in too many ways.
Man, I'm so jealous of the work you do. You're a mastermind, and your work is insanely complex. You're repping Mazak quite nicely. If I were them, I would ship you out a brand new integrex to play with. Brilliant man you are.
To do these jobs as one offs is amazing! I used to run a manual Colchester triumph lathe back in the day and I've never encountered any as skilled as yourself.
Very exciting machining, as a Mazak man, I saw this video when I was about to go to the bathroom, then decided to watch it to the end! Guess what, the feeling for a dash to the bathroom is gone!!! Anything you are making on this Mazak is amazing.
I am a retired Instrument and Control Engineer with 40 years experience. This is not my bag but I love it. I cannot get enough of it, the attention to detail, the automation, the thought that must go into it, the custom work. But at the same time it scares me to death! This one not so bad but the jobs that have had previous work done and then come to you for finishing has me on the edge of my seat biting my nails, terrified the machine is going to do something wrong. As you get further into it you get closer to finishing it but at the same time if it goes wrong you've got more to lose. One wrong digit and it could be turned into scrap, the pressure 🙈 .
I really enjoy your videos. You are hands down the best machinist on and off RU-vid. You make it look so easy the way you machine complex parts. It would be great so see a video explaining the thought/planning and execution of the setup. Thank you.
i dont see how you could ever think we wouldnt want a video that explains the planning! good to see you back again, looking forward to the explanation and planning video :)
I recently got the opportunity to work on a DMG CTX 2000 TC, and I can't tell you how much I learned from your videos I could bring to bear on this machine; thank you for all your great insights and tips!
Always makes my day when you post a new video. I've worked at a few workshops here in NZ but have never been exposed to this kind of tricky work, super interesting and impressive seeing how you machine parts like these.
very happy to see your back to this channel! what a great part to figure out and make. Would have loved to see you do a sped up, dry (air)cutting of the finished part to be able to follow. But then again, watching and wondering was like a kid on Christmas morning unwrapping a big present - imagination going wild. Thanks for the gift Peter and I hope you and yours have a merry Christmas !
Thanks for the video Peter, I was looking forward to you posting. I have gone back to many of your videos throughout the past few years/since starting my own shop. I got Esprit this spring for a mill-turn I purchased, and that has honed me in even more on how knowledgeable you are. Amazing work 👍
Welcome back, Peter. I was getting cocky at work. There's nothing like watching one of your videos to put me back in my place. Merry Christmas, my friend.
thats alot to think and prepare before run the machine. Great mind ! i believe AI cant have this kind of intelligent . Greeting from a Malaysia machine shop.
Definitely interested in whatever you want to put out there. Crazy machining going on there. Odd, I had just searched your channel for a new video just yesterday 👍
Great works as always, thanks Peter. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. A video explaining the planning etc. for a job like that would be very interesting to see. I hope you have a great christmas
Glad to see you back, hope you and your family are doing well. I'm definitely interested in a video on the setup, especially those set screws you were installing at the start. It looked like you were screwing a smaller set screw into the larger one, I'd like to know more about that bit. What was the material? EDIT: Now that I had a chance to play it back frame by frame on my laptop, I can see that the larger screws are dog point set screws and the smaller ones are socket head cap screws with the head OD turned down.
@@larryblount3358 i believe that is a way to lock the set screws in place.When you insert the smaller one and tighten it, its presses back on the larger one creating tension and therefore wont unthread.
Bravo Peter. That reminds me I have some parts I no-quoted today that you might be crazy enough to make. I'd be happy to pass them along if you're interested.
