Hey Phil' Great to see another video from you. When we think you have pretty much finished showing everything you have. You manage to find something else. Looks like you have been spoiling yourself with the Capto Tool Holder. Definitely a very handy piece to have in the shop. Just a little hard to justify there expense. But they do pop up online for sale from time to time. It's good you could add another video to the collection. Hopefully you still have a few more to add. All the best. Thanks for posting another video.
That's actually Kennametal KM50 tooling. I have about 5 base blocks in the machine. I use the KM50 holders for special tools and use the stick tooling for standard stuff like CNMG432 for OD turning.
You are a real life saver, thank you for all these videos! I've been trying to make a inward cone in the face of these parts, but I'm really struggling here. It seem to make the right shape in the graphics, but it draws the tool path as if it wants to overshoot the center point which would make a flat spot in the bottom of the cone. I hope this makes sense.
Yes, I thought about using that boring bar but wanted to show the button tool. The button tool can be probed as ID tool or OD tool, but in this example it only works as an ID tool.
@@mazatroltipsandtricks6816 What is the name of the holder of that button tool? I don't think I've ever seen it before. I am assuming you touched off the button tool like you normally would a boring bar and then changed the nose radius to .25"? *edit* Just saw the part where you mention it in the video.
Hi Phil, I’m a brand new viewer and I am in the market for a new to me used Mazak lathe and your videos are a great big help. I’m wondering if you would be able to put together a short video on things that a prospective buyer could look at when viewing are used lathe with the intent to purchase. It seems that would be a great video for all of us newbies to see.
Hi Brian, thanks for the video suggestion. Honestly, I do not have the general knowledge on what to look for when buying a used machine. I bought my machines based on them being the same models as I had already been using at my work and knew how to fix them. Any used machine will undoubtedly need repairs and I cannot afford a service technician to do the repairs for me. My best suggestion would be to ask your question on the Practical Machinist Mazak forum. There are more knowledgeable guys there. They are my go to source when I cannot figure something out. Thanks. www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/mazak/
Another great video. I noticed the paint on your machine peeling etc. Looks like standard rattle can paint. Coolant will make the paint separate from the steel. You need to use a 2 part mix paint. Maybe do a video on machine paints. It was a challenge for me to find proper paint.
BAR OUT program. Set OD of part much larger. Start tool further away from part and plunge in then across. It depends on what type of knerl tool your using also. Straight or clamp type. One of our machines we use g code and Straight cut the part, so no forming of material.
Hello Phil thank you for getting back to me about my other question. Now I have another question I am wanting to machine 2 wrench flats 180 deg. out from each other on the side of a 1-1/4" shaft. I would be using a 1/2" endmill and have the mills radius on the ends of the flats for strength (less shear point). Is it even possible or would you just use a ball mill. Thanks again for your good work.
You would need to have a Y-axis. If your machine does not have a Y-axis, I made a video on how to mill flats on the center of a shaft using a ball endmill. Check it out.
Yes I could. However, automatic tool measurement only works if the tool has already been touched off and you just need to check the tool after changing the insert. It will not work for setting a new tool.
Copy cycle was needed to cut this feature. Bar IN motion would cause the heel of the tool to interfere with the part. Bar Face would also not work because the tool will not go below X0 and leave an uncut area the size of the tool radius.
Great video as always Phill , i have a question would u happen to have a way to direct message you about a milling unit to use for a slot on a face I’m having trouble with at the moment would like to show u a shot of the part ,..any help would be really appreciated Thanks
Heres a question. I tried using this in my Mazak with Mazatrol T32 b controller. It mills the arc but travels in a straight line beyond X 0.. This gouges the arc. Any Ideas ? Year is about 1995 ish
Hello Phil, Thanks for all your great information. I just upgraded form a 1982 QT Universal with a t-1 control and no tool probe to a SQT200MY with there Fusion 640T control. Could you please explain how you would probe tool offsets for a drill or endmill. Thank You
Drills and endmills are probed on the length only. For axial tools, the drill or endmill is on the X axis centerline. Never probe the side of an endmill.
I've probed the side of drills and endmills and then add or subtract incremental amount depending on what sensor you touch off on. Adjust on the tool set page. Just be very careful to get everything right. Once you done it a few times it saves set up time. Try it and then double check using indicator off Chuck. Using a indicator off the chuck to find zero is soooo time consuming. I have a similar machine to yours and also still have my old t1 machine too.
Hi can you make a video on engraving from a sub program, also what parameter to change to alter the buffer on a tool when it retracts after a boring cycle in Z axis
@@mazatroltipsandtricks6816 Damn that was a fast reply... Thank you! Keep up the great work, just got my first Mazak lathe so im bingeing your channel!
I love your videos! I was wondering, do you think you can do a video on how to mill with live tooling and have the c axis rotate? Right now I have been using circle mill but it always mills using the x and y and I am not sure how to get it to use the C axis because I want to make sure my bore I am milling is concentric. Thanks so much and I hope that makes sense
My machine does not have a Y-axis so it always mills using C-axis rotation. I have several videos on it. You need to push the right soft key to get to the second menu page when you are programming to use C-axis mode instead of X And Y motion.
@@camilewis87 Sorry, my machine does not have Y-axis so the menus available on my controller will be different from your machine. Basically, when you create the process or unit, you push the right soft key to get to more menu options. The C-axis menus will be highlighted in pink if I remember correctly.
@@mazatroltipsandtricks6816 It's actually the opposite (on 640T controllers at least). By default, line-machining is using XC mode. Pressing the button on the right "y-axis" will reverse the options (make them pink) and use XY mode.
Hello Phil.Can you explain me how do you program a part when you do one side then turn your part and do a second becouse mazak has no G54, G55,G56 itd. I Move my z in program on the other side but that is sometimes to complicated .I have also tried to write first side in one program and the second side in other program but if i press reset while machine is working other side it stays in the second program i hope you can help me. Great job btw I have learned a lot from you.
Those are the only two ways to program the machine. I prefer to program 2 separate programs and have the machine switch between programs using the end process. You have to pay attention as to not crash the machine by running the wrong program though.
You saved the day on this one. Mazatrol can be a pain sometimes.
You are awesome! You deserve millions of subscribers! Thank you greatly for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for watching!

You may need to machine the center portion with a drill point vs trying to force a boring bar down to the center point. Not sure of your geometry.
Thanks Phill, another good one.

If you didn't have that button tool you could use a SVJBR boring bar to do that concave.
