Machining a cast iron Motor Pedestal
Переглядів 2363 роки тому
Start out by leveling the casting and clamping it to the table. The entire part is a raw casting so there aren’t any good smooth working surfaces to start with. Shimming it at what ever spot gets it level, and then clamp it right on top of the shimmed blocks. The screws from your table clamp set are used to make everything more rigid to eliminate vibration. After that, you can cut a flat refere...

A day in the life.... of a job shop machinist.
Intresting
Damn I made that mistake the other day, turned on the spindle in the opposite direction and cracked every insert in half pretty much, fortunately only 3 inserts but still 40 bucks I'll never get back
NOT a "DIVIDING HEAD"...actually a "SSUPER SPACER" ...

Well done for grinding the set off the teeth another buggered blade. You only need to grind off the weld that passes through the guides, 3/8" guides for 1/2" blade. any weld left on the teeth area wear off when cutting. Hope this helps. Also advisable to do extra annealing, after doing the center anneal, shift the blade about 1/4" each way and anneal again. This will give an anneal width of about 3/8, and be kinder on the blade. Regards from Australia.
Ill give it a try
The cardboard box was a great idea, have you thought about putting some kindling in the box first or just stick with the charcoal starter fluid? Just kidding, thanks for the info.
Neat trick with turning that drill bit and marking a cross
good
NIce! Always alot going on in a job shop.
thank you
There is virtually no difference in finish betwen the two. Face mills don't wreck your spindle bearings though. If you are determined to remove machining marks, a quick buzz over with a random orbital sander and scotchbrite takes seconds.
very good!
Awesome. Nice rigid machine too. One thing I was taught as an apprentice, over 30 years ago mine you, lol, was to always machines towards the hard jaw. I never strayed from that pretty much my entire career, and if I ever tried I immediately noticed the difference in rigidity.
Notice he cut on the Y instead of the X axis. If you think about it the Y axis on a Bridgeport should always be stiffer because the load isn't twisting the turret.
Very good information to know. My mill came only with fly cutters, so you have me wanting an end mill. Thank you for sharing this! ua-cam.com/video/-3gpGTVfPw4/v-deo.html
You are breaking technology. The box is not positioned correctly. There it is written in large letters "This side is up"
thank you for this video. I have one of these on my band saw in the wood shop that I teach at and had no real idea what it was. now I know how to use it too.
A good job shop machinist is worth his weight in gold. Standing there and taking on any and everything that come thru the door is a little different than making the same part on the same machine day in and day out.
At lease doing the same part is already . Set 'up And know what to expect
I love it when odd stuff comes thru the door. Invaluable experience right there
Thank you
is the mill converted to cnc?
No, it's not a conversion. We have several Southwest Industries ProtoTrak Machines, Model DPM3 with the SMX Control, and they have served us well.
Very cool! Go Sox!! Lol
question .. is not a good idea to use a lubricant spray there ? to help cooling and easier cutting ?
wonderful !!

I’m bout to start high school and I’m going to take college classes I was looking at this video for in case I want to apply for this position can you give me your thoughts on it
This is great if you want to get into some type of engineering work. There’s lots of specialization work that stems of from this field. It’s a great line of work that pays just as well to those who seek the opportunities available to you. Good luck!
@@farii202 thank you I really appreciate the comment have a blessed rest of your day
Do HVAC or plumbing. Those trades pay much better
The title of this video is "fly cutter vs face mill". I think some of the video never made it to this video as there is no comparison done.
I can’t see past that huge red sign
Cool Video
"Let's just turn off the coolant..." 😲 Good thing they didn't insist on the root of the spline being cylindrical like the print... 😁
Looking at that cut you are taking, I'm wondering what the HP of the machine is. Would it be about 3 HP?
It's actually 5 Horse
These videos are excellent for a novice like me wanting to see how a professional gets the job done.
I know it's quite off topic but does anybody know a good site to stream new movies online ?
Nice to see an everyday task being done in a working shop.
That's very useful. Just the sort of information I was looking for. I'd read that carbide can cut hot but this video shows it working in practice.
Modern design for tooling is such that
What I meant to say is modern tooling is designed to cut and take the heat from the friction out of the part, transferring it to the cutter and the chip..
Where's Napoleon, Pedro & Uncle Rico?
Thanks for you wisdom. I'M a MACHINIST VIRGIN and surely need direction from the old schoolers.
I am machinist for 25 years, fly cutter shouldn't exist ,maybe 50 years ago was ok but not today, just my 2 cents. Great video ,thank you.
There are applications wear a face mill just won't work but yet a single point fly cutter will solve many problems
Cool, Great video of the back side of a cardboard box.. hahsha
If you still need a radius in the corner this would be a a much easier job on a cnc, just lay them flat and mill that contour with a feed mill, an hour tops for the first part and then less then 10 min per part after that..
The prototrak is a CNC even though it's an older model
I'm a engineering student and I don't have a ton of experience with mills, but aren't you concerned about over-heating. It was making some pretty loud noises screeching, and I assumed that you'd use cutting fluid?
Hi R.B., Thanks for your question. Actually Carbide is made to withstand heat. By design, the heat stays with the chips, and as the carbide gets dull they get hot and then that also transfers to the work piece. Keep an eye on how the cut is going. If things get hot, switch to a sharp insert. In some cases putting coolant on these kind of cuts will create thermal shock to the carbide which may break down the cutting edges. This project was only making a couple pieces, but if you were running them all day long, you might take a different approach. All the tool manufacturers used to see who could take the heaviest cut, but in the world of CNC, now the thinking is to make shallower cuts at a faster rate, which saves wear and tear on your machine - especially spindle bearings. "Dry Cutting" is also been the direction we have gone....spraying coolant on a cutter that is spinning fast and kicking out hot chips can create a fog in the shop. We put in a vacuum Air Handler to suck up the mist, but by changing to dry cuts, we don't have that problem and air quality is not even an issue. Didn't take long to figure that out. A lathe really atomizes the coolant into a mist because of hitting the jaws in a high RPM chuck. A good chip load and steady feed will peel the material right off. Machine rigidity is also important for carbide life. Carbide can cut almost anything, but if you have a loose insert or vibration, or turn it on backwards, it will chip right away. Carbides have come a long way in that there is a carbide insert for every application of material or hardness. Tooling suppliers can really help if you have a difficult material to machine...just ask. That block was S-7 tool steel which is made to be "shock resisting" in it's final application.
@@makersmachining5408 Cool, thanks for clearing that up for me. I came across your video while studying for my metal working class exam as part of my M.E.T degree. Thanks!
Subbed, thanks for the lesson!
yes I threw out my fly cutters 30 years ago and I simply use a shell mill. for critical surfaces however take out all but one insert to finish such as on critical mold surfaces. by leaving all the inserts in the z pressure is too much and you will notice the surface is not as good combined with when the cutter goes off the edge the pressure of the 2 or 3 inserts is released and the final insert will dig down into the part on the edges. This effect is real and VERY pronounced such as with 6 insert cutters especially if they have a wiper flat because that wiper flat can add up 1/4 of flat scrubbing--work hardening and destroying the surface and also eliminating the chance to feed in the z with accuracy. another trick if using one insert to finish is to take a diamond knife lap and stone off slightly the wiper flat you will be astonished at the surface and the ability to cut to tenths on thickness also on mold surfaces or surfaces that must be polished there will be almost no work hardened layer.
Hadn't considered using just one insert. Thanks.
I use a facemill for hogging and a flycutter for the finish pass.
Thanks for that. I have wondered if you can leave the all but 1 insert off one of these mills effectively making it a fly cutter, so you can get that final finish. It makes sense but I haven't heard anyone say it.
Impressive. Would you please tell me what Brand of Face Mill that is and what inserts it takes? There are many on the market with a wide range of prices. I ran across one similar to yours on the internet and it was $750! What was the cost of yours? Thank you very much
Hi KW, That's actually a SECO cutter on a CAT 30 shank. Might be called an Octomill cutter and holds 4 inserts. The inserts are Octagons (obviously). Over the inserts it measures 3" diameter, but the circle that it makes at the bottom is about 2-1/2" diameter. I couldn't read the printing on the body of the cutter anymore because it's been around a little while. We haven't changed inserts in a long time, but if you turn the spindle on backwards, and try to cut that way, you'll be replacing all of them. No clue what the price was. Sometime SECO (and other tool companies) will give away the holder (or a reduced price) if you buy a certain amount of inserts. Google "Octomill" and SECO to see what comes up. Good luck and thanks for the question.
@@makersmachining5408 Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it very much. Regards, KW
similar cutters from china with inserts are in the range of 50 or 60 bucks now.
@@makersmachining5408 what speed and HP is your motor?
That's a great museum. I visited the museum several years ago when I was visiting in the area. I lived in Kalamazoo as a kid till we moved to the farm in Three Rivers. I served my t&d apprenticeship at Production Tooling Inc in TR. Moved to Iowa in 1983. I see you have a bunch of interesting videos. Looking forward to watching them. Tc, Mike
Annealing the blade after welding it is important.....see the results starting at the 6:10 mark.
Very interesting process
I sure should hope that your cutters aren't coming out of your R8 collet, or you are doing something seriously wrong...
Thanks for your question. Actually that isn't an R-8 Collet. The machine has a CAT 30 end mill holder in there, and the end mill is held in place with a set screw that locks on the flat that comes on the end mill. You are correct about an R-8 collet. End mills can pull out of them with heavy cuts and dull cutters, which also heats up the part you are machining.
700 degree chips vs. cardboard box? sounds like a celebrity death match.
everybody does the same thing just like he showed.
I'll say I'd rather deal with a smoldering box than a smoldering neck/face/head/wrist..... remember there's very little on the machine that burns but everything on you will
I wanted to know about the patterns !
Hi Johnny, What specific questions do you have? You have to allow for the metal to shrink as the casting cools down. Different metals/materials move a different amount. There needs to be a draft angle on the sides of the pattern so it can be taken out of the sand mold with out damaging the shape of the opening, same with the cores. Do you have any local pattern shops to confer with? Would be good for you to go to a foundry also. They have certain things required to make parts.
@@makersmachining5408 Thanks for the reply, it just seemed that the machine shop guy kept talking and the pattern makers were doing nothing. I will try and find the Pattern shop video.
nice job Tim! nick
Adding a little more information about this project: Socket Head Cap Screws are made of an alloy steel, in this case. These are the toughest grade of screw - Grade 8 or DIN 12.9 for metric. They are made of an alloy steel and hardened to around 38 Rockwell (Rc). They have a tensile strength of 170,000 PSI. * Metallurgy is the prevalent study of these materials, strengths and hardness, and very important in manufacturing, especially now with traceability of all goods that we use. Screws of all styles are made of many materials, depending on their final use. * The threads were cut longer by using a "Chasing Die" or "Thread Repairing Die". When using one of these dies, the cut only goes from one side, which has a lead angle, so the threads can gradually cut in to the material (the opposite side doesn't have that lead angle). These dies would be made from hardened carbon steel or high speed steel, because they have to be significantly harder than the bolt material (more metallurgy). They are commonly available ---- Buy "Made in USA" !
Stainless steel is not magnetic. Easy way to tell .
Ferritic Stainless Steels (409, 430, 439) , Martensitic Stainless Steel (410, 420, 440) , Duplex Stainless steel (2205) are all magnetic.
Wrong.
Not all! They even can get slightly magnetic due to the working process!
There is one S/S steel that is Magnetic out of 40 different Series of Stainless steel it not use for alot
