Those two are very different things. Weight of things practically does not change with height. So, something's as heavy at a millimeter above the ground as it is say a meter above the ground. Potential energy, however, increases linearly with the height. So, the potential energy of the same thing at one meter above the ground is a thousand times more than the same at a millimeter above the ground. Kind of like the difference between jumping off one step of a staircase and jumping off the roof of a 40 storied building.
@@RushMoore I’d think my reply and the whole context went over your head. I guess we’re even. I’ll still try though. When you say something’s “heavy” while lifting it, you’re concerned about your own self if you’re the one who’s lifting it or the mechanism with which you’re lifting. But he’s concerned about the machine falling off and breaking apart because of it’s potential energy since he almost lifted it a meter above the ground.
Q: How many mills do you need? A: N+1 or S-1 -- N is the number of mill you have. -- S is the number of mills that results in separation from your partner.
@@ayraen120 Actually the way it's written the two numbers are at a perfect ratio. The number of mills you need is equal to the number of mills that leads to a divorce, minus one. EDIT: Please don't listen to me. I was wrong however I will leave this comment up as an explanation for future readers.
Man I love your deadpan humor. Nearly choked on my food when you said "I'm going for that harbor freight aesthetic . . . to make it as thin as humanly possible." I was just thinking about that after buying a cheapo air fan for my room. The stands were stamped sheet metal and I'm sure it's impossible to make them any thinner without it buckling under its own weight :D
me as well - no shame in buying a small prosumer mill if you have the work to fill it and the knowledge to compensate for its lack of mass and hatred. A friend of mine taught me a thing or two about using them. A rival company has one to run graphite with the intention to run it lights-out for 5 years and replace it because of the wear - cost / benefit trade-off for them at a great price.
mill will last 10-15 years. sheet metal is disposable. will spend more on sheet metal in 10-15 years than 25k. let's not go into the time saving, less tool wear and less scrapped parts having an upgraded mill, but worth mentioning.
@@thepjup4507 Why does a mill only last 10-15 years? What exactly happens when it breaks and how does a person know when it's nearing the end of its life?
@@gabedarrett1301 just using that time frame as a reference. also lets assume that in 10-15 years if you are successful youll need to upgrade, id say thats pretty accurate to a growing manufacturing company. there are 50+ year old mills still going strong today facing heavy use with no problem at all. main major breakdown is the motors. theyre easier to replace on older mills, probably why people can still run them like new today. was a pretty arbitrary number to be completely honest with you.
@@jco_sfm yeah you're right, I meant it as an abbreviation of 3 words, but I see it reads as 1. Maybe L'd.O.L. wouldn't've read as poorly, but it's probably better to write every word, the only way sane say it.
I was taught on Haas machines in college. And I have a great appreciation for Haas mills. I know people shit on them a lot for being light machines, but really that’s what CNC machining is. Light cuts but really fast. And Haas mills do it perfectly.
I recommend grinding one of your copper spot welder rods flat. This ensures that you have no markings on one side (an easy way to get a prettier side) ;) Just put it in the lathe and it's perfectly flat. The weld is still just as strong;)
When I first watched this video when it came out, I didn't know why you were so good at reviewing "maker tools," but given your history at formlabs and knowing that you had a significant part in producing more -- it totally makes sense
@@StuffMadeHere Everyone loves shop and tool tours, no matter how messy! I've picked up so many good ideas from other peoples setups / junk! Thanks for sharing!
@@StuffMadeHere Just make sure you pick up the panties lying around the room then dont worry about the rest of the mess. This is basically the rules I operate under when expecting company.
Thanks - though to be fair my bravery was bolstered by the knowledge that all my rigging equipment was rated for 10-20x the load. My biggest fear was the crate tipping but I had attached 2x4 anti-tip legs in those directions so it was (hopefully) nearly impossible. In any case I was definitely breathing easier when I reached the bottom of the hill :)
How does this guy have such a broad skill set, it all has to do with creating things but in so many different ways that not just any average person knows. My new fav channel❤️
I swear, I find a new stuff made here video in my recommended like every month, even though I watched all the videos when I found the channel. It's like there are new videos appearing but they're from 6 months ago. That said, it's a good problem to have. I'm always happy for more of this channel
Subbed, really fantastic channel, actually had it on in the background as I was working in my shop... and about halfway through paused it, because I wanted to be able to pay attention better. I can see elements of many established machining channels in yours, but enjoy seeing how you blend them to make them your own. Keep it up, look forward to seeing more content!
I’m an engineering major and love physics and your videos are oddly enjoyable to watch even tho they bring back ptsd😅 I’m so jealous of your workshop that shits looks so fun
Huge fan of this video! Keep up the quality content! Also, there is no problem with a Tormach. Some people have problems getting the proper power to run a Haas that isn't a TM model. I have setup and ran Haas, DMG, Mazak, and Hurcos. I would not hesitate to buy a Tormach if I had the opportunity.
I just graduated from college/ trade school for machining and I had a blast with the CNC mills and lathe. I'm jealous at the fact you have a CNC mill in your own house
All reasonable cnc's can do broken tool detection several ways. 1) spindle load is too high 2) Servo load too high 3) Predicted position vs actual or the time to reach position is too long 4) vibrations to high or 5) tool height setter to periodically check. Ive personally "tested" each of these ways
My work just got a 770M and I'm in love. We have other CNCs including one the size of a house but being a non-machinist I don't touch those. The tormach is simple enough and cheap enough that I don't have to worry too much about screwing something up. I've already made a few parts with it and it's both quicker and better results than parts I've manually milled. I want one for home now.
I am impressed by the degree of practical knowledge this guy has - knowing engineering and coding in theory is one thing, being able to set up a new machine perfectly fine is a another. Knowing what step to next... yes, fine... but actually doing it produces a whole lot of questions on how exactly doing it without potentially wrecking the machine early, if not executed well enough. Great job!
👍👍👍👍. RU-vid just recommended your channel in my feed and I really enjoyed this first episode (first for me). Looking forward to some great binge watching to get caught up and to your future content. A couple of observations so far - Your sense of humor is extremely entertaining. Thanks for all the effort and energy to share this with us. And you must be incredibly industrious, by the number of cuts on your hands and the bandaids that appear at various times on different fingers. I have that problem too. Stay safe 😊
OMG, I love your channel! I've been binge watching all your videos today. Your explanations are great, your tools very cool, the videography is spot on, and your experimentations are so interesting. I love the unhurried way in which you present your videos, it is very calming. Keep it up, you are doing fantastic! Ciao, Marco.
Best tip for moving heavy stuff over the threshold with a pallet Jack is pulling it to the edge than setting the load down moving the first axle over the threshold and than Lifting it up again than same string for the second axle 😉
Love your videos. As a beginner coder, electrition, and hacker you have blown my mind. I am currently 15 and hope to some day be as smart, funny, and wide ranged as you are. I am subscribed and hope to see more videos soon.
I think you're the coolest person I've seen. Cannot believe you're the same person who was doing 3d printed tools for folding sheet metal, when I saw that video I just did not expect anything more than a person who makes sheet metal assemblies for a living. Seriously, expectations and mind blown. I hope to one day be half as cool as you are; I'm 24 years old and yet I'm talking like a kid after watching your videos. Wish the best for you.
This makes me miss my machine shop class in school.. we used to use these machines and I remember making a set of brass dice, a steel hammer and a couple other cool things
Checking if a tool is broken before using it is good, but it is an after-the-fact check. Maybe what Tormach should do is utilize a current sense circuit to detect when a tool path is not drawing as much current as it should, if it was actually cutting material. If a tool breaks mid-cut, the axis motors or/and spindle motor should experience a lower current draw while in a cutting path. That should cause a fault, suggesting that a tool has broken during a cutting operation. The machine should stop and give a fault warning that an operator can then investigate before proceeding.
I've binge watched all your videos like the world was on some sort of lockdown and we are confined to our houses. Can't wait to see what kinda crazy things you come up with next. Much respect for dropping the knowledge on where the phrase "check yourself before you wreck yourself" came from ;)
Just subbed. Great stuff. Insanely organized shop. However... I’d dial back the ThisOldTony genre a bit though. You guys are two of my three favorite channels to watch right now, but it’s slightly odd yours following the TOT style and format. It’s great stuff. Be yourself.
This made me chuckle. I remember when one of the shops i was working at didnt have these self checking based on Z of tool length. Whatever you wanna call it. And would constantly break reamers after a drill had gone through. We had to have reminders to check especially after those tool cycles. It was a mess before implementing the touch off check. Now you csn pretty much go get a coffee knowing ur cnc wont bust or crash in the meantime.
This is amazing, I just starting machining for work a year ago, and I hope that as I get better at my job I’ll be able to half the stuff you do. I’m just so far behind in the physics, engineering departments.
I suggest you to buy Xebec Brushes (Japan) for deburrs and cutter mark removals. My recommend is 15mm brushes. A32-CB25M (blue), A11-CB15m (red) and S15M-p (sleeve). Blue is thicker than red. Red is used for surface quality, decreases Ra.
You can still tap with a mill. Just to make sure it taps true. Used to work with an old school mill in a Fab shop. You get it going, shut it off, and let the momentum tap it in. Then I release the tap and put on the hand tap handle and tap the rest of the way. This way it's perfectly straight.
"hey, this video is getting pretty long..." Me: What are you talking about?? *checking the time line* Damm.. That's been 16m?! I guess time moves fast when you enjoy something... Literally before this video I watched other video and after 5m I felt like it was like 15m already and was bored.
Man.. discovering your channel made my day. You know of styropyro? You share the same godlike levels of genius ingenuity. Can't wait to see you grow, I'm sure you'll have a million subs in no time.
Design a pre-routed, battery-powered, heavy equipment trailer. You could have a winch setup and some type of roller system to slide the machinery on and off the wagon. The package could have a set destination, and you could have it on an automated guided path down your hill once the cargo is secured.
little overkill..we got our hands on a mass used 1995 "Deckel FP 3NC" for just 3500,- they were dirty shitty as hell but after cleanup, fresh paint and a few parts wuhuu
@@chinnarasugunasekaran1312 in Germany from an old company that got bankrupt and they selled out everything . we also got an old meuser lathe (non cnc) from 1968 for 1000€ that we soon start to clean and repaint for resell
REALLY love the look of those transparent 3d-prints! They don't look hideous as the vivid colored ones. More one them in a video where you cover 3d-printing in some way?
So glad that I came across your channel! Keep up the good work! I love your videos. I’m a CNC Machinist at a tool and die shop. I’ve been a machinist for about a year and a half now and I think I have learned more by watching a few of your videos than I have in the last year of working 😂!
Hey great video! Just a quick tip,the only way to get a broken tap out is with an electric discharge machine (edm). Sometimes you can melt them out with a tig welder if is a through hole.hmm i wonder if it would be possible to attach the welder to the spindle and create a sort of low tech edm.hmmm.
