The feed hold button only stops the chaos if it doesn't involve the spindle, like when the motor mounts snap and it becomes easier to spin the motor than spin the spindle. But that is self stopping, once the power cables get yanked from their terminal block and short out then the panic ends and its all over but the cryin'

How long to break off the gland end? (I assume the dingus end is different from the gland end, and It seems that everything has a gland end. But correct me if I'm wrong.)
That is one SWEET toy! And, as always, your humor is off the charts! "South Asian safety boots." ROFL Or the priceless, "If you want it this long, they only come in black." OMG
And the cleanup! You wouldn't want to leave a dirty cup around, got to wash that, dry it, etc! That's at least another 5 minutes, and you can justify a lot more if you have to clean the machine.
I HATED JHA at my old job! You could get hurt if a guy had fourteen cotton balls in his shirt pocket for chronic nosebleeds and they fell in a piece of equipment and dislodged a screw that maintenance had accidentally dropped and flew into a motor, caused a spark and ignited a leaky acetylene bottle from a guy that didn’t have a hot work permit and the whole plant burned down.
When we did all of are mold plates in house we used those drill inserts all the time. The curly chips would fly off and ricochet off the guards on the sides. You could be on the other side of the plant and you could tell when we used them. The carbide inserts seem to hold up really good.
Looks like a giant distribution block! Just get creative with some set screws and you'll light the Car Audio scene on fire! Don't knock the reps banging on your door. I got some pretty damn good lunches out of the Rottler guy, and all I had to do was tell him my plans! Not my fault he never asked if I had won the lottery yet... ;)

Learned how to use a CNC mill in an hour. Only y and X axis are moving and you have to programme it manually. The horizons opened up by a mile! Very worth learning even if you don't have one! And that goes for a lot of things in life.
Bet you wished for the 400V three phase used in most of the world 😋 Glad our copper industry did not manage to convince everyone that thicker cables are better.
The Haas tool change bang is not caused by a burr on the pull stud. It's usually from the female taper expanding from heat, and high rpm, and the male taper moving upwards. It can also help to clean the tapers with solvent and scotchbrite.
Shrink fit is good for super high precision applications, other than that, they kinda suck. You can only change the endmill in them so many times before they go bad and it takes a lot longer than the standard set screw endmill holders. The set screw style also last just about forever. It's likely someone will break it before its worn out.
This is my job. I run a 2 vice and a 4 vice ol betsy from the early 2000s that you have to spam reset until the alarms go away when you start it up in the morning. :D can relate.
You'll can also get toolchanger popping from extended high RPM runs with a CAT40 interface. It isn't only because of pull stud fit and finish (though it's always good to radius everything to prevent sharp edges and stress risers). It is part of the shortcoming of the 40 taper design, which has only one gaging surface...the tapered surface. Since the drawbar is constantly pulling up on the toolholder's stud, as the spindle and toolholder warm up and the metal expands, the taper will slowly recess into the spindle more and more. This makes it more difficult to remove on a tool change and you might hear a characteristic "pop!" as they free up due to a quasi-interference fit from the shift. The stickiness is less of an issue with the toolchanger arm system you have with a side carousel. It used to really suck with an umbrella-style toolchanger because the Z axis motor wouldn't have enough guts to pull the toolholder free when it was in the umbrella and it would stall during a tool change and require judicious banging with copper/zinc mallets to free the toolholders from the spindle. You'll notice this with your Z changing slightly from parts made on a cold machine, and a part that's run for a while. It's typically a few tenths or a thou over the course of a few hours, which isn't an issue unless you're running a tight tolerance job. There are also four ball bearings that engage the underside of the pull stud. Those ball bearings should be greased periodically. The easiest way is to use a long q-tip to get up into the spindle or just put some light grease on the underside of the pull stud. Also keep an eye on the pull stud over. If it's a few points softer on hardness, the ball bearings will make a noticeable dent in them over time. There is an improved CAT40 design called the Big Plus, which modifies the design by adding an additional gaging surface to the interface system--the toolholder flange (which floats in the open in a CAT40), so now your Z of the toolholder can't change, as it stops solidly against the spindle face. Of course, you'd need all new toolholders and a new spindle.
I would also spin that inserted drill closer to 450-500 sfm (around 1450-1500 rpm) and the same 7.0 ipm. I’ve found that they don’t make as big of a chip when spinning a little slower. Also, don’t peck with them, I’ve found constant tool pressure to be the best for those drills.
Where in the hell is the aforementioned bar tending robot? You have taken apart numerous things that suck and blow, so moving the alcohol around shouldn't be a problem. If you need a serving arm I invite you to look at 2:30 in the above video. I bet with a case of Kokanee (One of Canada's finest exports, second only to Ryan Reynolds) you can probably pry Dew Claw away from his 2000's era porn dvds and get this thing hammered out.
@@Shaun.Stephens he did turn off the Ac but if you only have 1 phase that's under loaded and the other two are a bit high your still going to have one cranked no matter what
