You are absolutely right on using the torque wrench. Consistency is vital. I cannot even begin to tell you about all the times the different apes and cavemen at my job has ruined a production because they either didnt clamp the part hard enough or WAY too hard 🤣
I like this video a lot, well done man!! No fluff or BS, just doing some work. The setup is great, did you ever setup to do 2 or 3 parts at a time in there? Seems like two vises might fit and you could reduce the number of tool changes by half?
How did you go about finding work? Are your customers all local? Were these contacts you had prior to buying the mill? Many of my local shops it's damn near impossible to get in front of anyone of importance. Online contact has basically been a waste. I've gotten a few small jobs here and but steady repeat business has been rough to come by. Post something like this with the X7.. that thing looks like a phenomenal value if half the marketing is true. 😆
It's because of the insert mill. A solid endmill is much quieter, although this machine isn't very rigid by industry standards. I recently bought a larger, more stout Syil X7.
