Since everybody wants everything cheap (who could blame them / us) there will always be heavy industry which will needs 2 + ton shafts And their managers will always wonder why it costs so much XD
Nice. Used to work on old NC, Tape controlled vertical borers. Every block on the program could be a disaster waiting to happen. Would love to try modern CNC machining.
kupa roboty :) Jestem pod wrazeniem. Nigdy nie robilem na tokarce tak dlugiego walka, jedynie na frezarce kieszenie na klucze, ustawialem wtedy na kilku imadlach. Pan ma tutaj tylko 2 podparcia :D Nie bardzo moge sobie wyobrazic ze nie wystepywaly drgania, albo odchylki w wymiarze... Jestem pod wrazeniem :) Pozdrawiam
Absolutely beautiful work Nice job. I would love to have a lathe like that. All mine are manual except for my little Okuma Cadet. But I'll get there one day. Keep up the sweet vids brother.
Nice bit of turning mate,👌 I was thinking gees you have tiny bananas over there in America 😂... in all seriousness mate you make a difficult job look easy Thanks for sharing 👍
Early in the video he showed a speed feed calculator screen shot. I don't know if it's being in a hurry or arrogance but most guys don't enter their info into a calculator. Some of them are absolute rubbish, but if you find a good one it is the best use of two minutes in the whole job. It might not give you bang on numbers, but it will get you in the hunt real quick.
Two insert corners for rough turning and two for finishing cut. Once you get the feed, speed and right insert for the job, you don't really use many inserts.
@@ChrisMaj - That's impressive. As you said, getting the feed and speed and insert type for the material is the key. Most machinists don't seem to get that right.

Another awesome big job mate. Love it. I dont machine to many shafts, more flange work and hosetails by male/female threads. Roughly what was the full machine cutting time Chris? 👍 nice work from one machinest to another.
The thing with us being a repair shop, you start one job and then comes another "HOT JOB " you take everything down and get on it. In few days you come back to that part and hopefully you finish it.
@@ChrisMaj I have the same situation. What makes it worse is we have a whole bunch of engineers that had a shop class in college so naturally they are experts.....
@@ChrisMaj he’s also probably not used of machining those big part, with 4340 you wont have to deal with steady rest as much as other material. not under 200”long tho nice work on that one chris!
I have the same exact machine at my job except ours is the 8,000mm length. I absolutely love the machine. We did modify the tool post holder to take a quick change setup. I would love to do videos like yours but my work forbids it. Also wondering how you disabled the interlocks as ours has a massive door that is always in my way.
So yours is twice as long, nice. I could use a 1,000 mm on my lathe cause they always get me these jobs that hardly fit. Remove the key from the door and insert it into that key pocket and attach it with a screw.
Hey, I just noticed how your shoes look, do you have a second steel cap on the laces? Also love your stuff, watching your vids has gotten me out of trouble at work a couple times.
@JULIO ALVAREZ I've noticed that people don't really like that fanuc manual guide. Most of my work is one-offs so all of the programming is done by hand on the machine. I really like the manual guide, you can do things that you can't with G-codes unless you're using some kind of programming software (Mastercam, fusion, etc)
