I just wanted to say, my favorite part of Seeker videos is seeing everyone's projects at the end. Usually I'm only half paying attention because I'm working on something of my own while UA-cam plays, but as soon as I hear that guitar my eyes are glued to the screen. Thank you Doug for sharing with us all the work you do and have done, and for the inspiration you continue to instill in your fellow makers.
I work on HAAS cnc mills for my job but we use a CAM software called Mastercam which for me personally was quite easy to get my head around. Its really interesting seeing the methods you use and i really like how easy to follow this is as a tutorial for people getting into cnc because its an amazing world which opens up loads of opportunities for machining, i love it personally!
Thanks. That is the best workshop tutorial I have watched on UA-cam, most assume you know all about the system and rush through without a thought to the watcher. Thanks again.
That's really cool! I've heard several people talk about the time to start a job on CNC makes it slower than just using a manual mill. This fits right in between, and in the process you're kind of learning the CAD side of it at the same time. Slick!
Totally agree!
Brilliant insight into using that tool! Love how advanced Seeker is 🙌
I wish I had a CNC mill on my boat.
I also wish I had a boat.
.... hey wife, if you need me, I'll be in the front yard for 10 years.
LOL
And I'll be having a lot of people over helping me. So you need to stock up on the groceries.
On this story line you’ll end up with a new wife just fyi!
Now that you have a 3D printer, you can make a funnel for your vacuum hose that will allow you to pull those chips out of the work area.
Doug - let's go ahead and rename the channel "The Floating Barefoot Machinist"
Great video. Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful week ahead
Thank you! You too!
Great job & great tutorial. CAD is a learning proses, you can learn it by trial & error, I was doing that but it was not good enough for my employer, I needed that damn piece of paper, so I went to college for two years to learn CAD for professional use.
Frankly the experience is really worth a lot more than the piece of paper. And I taught at a community college for three years.
@@SVSeeker You got that right!
*process.
Apparently spelling wasn’t part of the course study.
@@buellb0y Thank GOD! No fucking Englis magors around hear
Fly wheel cutters work better at very high speed, with little material taken off per pass. But in referance it worked so go with it.
....and with a tight belt that is not worn 1/2 way through. : )
If you're gonna take big bites then try a 2 flute end mill then smooth it off with the fly cutter.
Also you can get lefthand boring bars that use inserts
When will the boat go sailing????
Soon
Has anyone else noticed that drill bit sets no longer have those handy tap charts on them? I keep an old kit case with a chart stamped into it.
YES! It's now a pdf on my computer's desktop.
👍
Where did you get that light?
The Flame of Hell? Amazon: amzn.to/3WklefP
@@SVSeeker Very nice, I can never have enough light..and thank you for all the great videos!
Still say Tormach should have made it a manual/cnc
Where sailing
A => B
did you mill in reverce? sure looked like it
That fly cutter runs in reverse.
Great video…… Golden rule even for an approximate precision engineer….. good enough.. isn’t..
I've always been more of a get it done kind of guy. Might just be why I'm writing this from a boat I built anchored in the the bay. : )
Dang I was hoping to see how you cut the slot.
It's in the Captain's chair video

Deja Vu...
Yup. Sorry, but Patrons get it all twice. Early with no ads the first time. And public and on UA-cam the second. Y'all have a new one coming later today!
Congratulations. I do turning and milling myself. Allow me to make a small remark, you are not storing the metalworking tool quite correctly. With such storage (bulk in a box), the cutting edge becomes dull.
Yeah, I know, but it's a step up for now.
Changing the diameter from 1.900 to 1.95 is fifty thousandths not ten thousandths! Fifty thou is almost 1/16" increase on the diameter.
Well that explains it. I missed a zero. Thank god for beer cans.
somewhere some anal retentive "machinist" is rage typing about using 1-2-3 blocks for parallels... I've thought about getting a Tormach or similar pseudo NC machine, but having been an actual machinist I've been leary of them... they do work good though, just probably not for me lol, I did just get my Bridgeport mill, and Tida Lathe up and running in the shed... so I can make stuff again
LOL He's already commented. People are sure willing to share their afflictions. But no worries I've had all of my vaccinations. Have fun in the Shed and be sure to get your shots if you want to share your work on Social Media. : )
@@SVSeeker I get tunnel vision and ferget to take pics lol... But I do have a video I need to edit...
need more rpm if the motor can't handle the torque. more rpm, less stepover. I guess its just the limit you get with a cheaper machine
A loose and worn belt doesn't help!
I used my Tormach's conversational almost exclusively for simple jobs. By the by, 800rpm for a 1/2" endmill is way too slow. Try 2600rpm next time. The 770 has plenty of power, especially in aluminum. Get your speeds and feeds right and you'll be hogging through it like butter.
Thanks for the tips! Tightening the belt up helped a lot too. : )
I don't mean to scare you but you're doing CAD. The conversational feature lets you skip the modeling. That's a pretty nice thing.😊
Scare me? Hell I was married.
Need plastic hammer
Any tool can be a hammer.
@@SVSeeker dont i know it! I use my head as one often. But machine tools require a special care to retain all purfect edges. 1,2,3 blocks wont be 1,2,3 for long if not protected.
