As a CNC machinist, please no music. The sound of the lathe is music enough. It takes away from the video. When I first started as such, I had a old timer walk past me and without looking said “ your cutting it wrong!” At the time I didn’t understand Now I truly understand. I can hear a lathe cutting wrong all the way across the shop.
@Craig Smith The grand start up memory of us all :p I remember back when I got told "if anything sounds wrong, hit the big red button" First push and my heart was at my throat while looking at my mentor, who stood with a calm smile, while I was thinking "are you insane?" Now it's become one of the past time activities in the shop, to share silent gazes with the people around you, when someone fucks around with their cutting data.
I’m starting my first machining job next Monday and want to know if I should get a set digital micrometers or not, I think I should get analog but i really don’t know what’s best
If the quote was worth a damn and the planning was done right they should already know when the job should be done. If they have to ask, then they aren't doing their job right.
Its not a secret. You can call your tooling supplier and get the feeds and speeds and plug them into your CAM software. Then from the software you can select the type of machining you want to do.
For the first part the inserts were facing towards the front of the machine and in the second the inserts were facing towards the back. How do you determine which way the tool is suppose to face? Does it depend how it's programmed? Like with the direction of the spindle? Just learning this stuff and it confuses me.
What's the material at 2:26 onwards? The finish looks amazing but the machining sounds so strange compared to most alu and stainless alloys I worked with. Combined with the sparks? I don't know what happened and I'd like to learn.
Difference between rollomatic cnc and cnc lathe!! I have 4 yrs experiance of running rollomatic np5 machine! Can i be able to run other kind of cnc machinea as automobile cnc or furniture cnc!! What are the differences!!
Sandvik are a company that make cutting tips but they also have a really good training course on their website thats free of charge. i would recommend that if you cant find a trainee job anywhere in your area. it also looks really good on a job application if one does pop up!
