That rapid plunge cut reminded me of a funny story. A pal of mine who's a welder always seemed to enjoy the company of a different beautiful woman every weekend, and he was really no looker. I asked him his secret. He said, "It's all in the technique, my man: you push it in fast and pull it out slow. That's all there is to it. Women LOVE that." I could not wait to try it. The following weekend I was with my usual gal and we were gettin' busy. I pushed it in fast and pulled it out slow. In fast, out slow. While we were enjoying a Winston afterwards, I asked if she noticed anything different. She shrugged, and replied, "you fuck like a welder."

Man, I'm a career machinist of 20 years, and have been watching this channel from the beginning. Nothing has ever made me laugh harder than putting the 3/4" wrench on that vice and beating it with a deadblow - it's too relatable.
Tip... For a large quantity of little parts epoxy the stock material to a piece of base metal... After cutting, toss the lot into boiling water to soften the epoxy and pluck your parts off the base.
The Orange Vises have an allen key adjustment point to keep play down in double vise configuration, it sounds like yours is too tight and causing it to bind up. I didn't like the ones I had to use as the only thing keeping the solid jaw accurately trammed was 2 dowels that were quite a loose fit. Heavy roughing would throw it off up to .0015" from one side to the other. If I had to do finishing work, I would simply clamp the part, then indicate the machine to the part. A ratchet with a deep socket worked worlds better for opening and closing them too.
Haas Setting Number 103 is a really nice feature for proofing programs. Instead of hovering over the red Feed Hold button it makes the green Cycle Start button on the controller act as a “dead man’s switch” stopping the cycle on release, which would be a faster reaction (and effect) than pressing a button.
That CORPO USB rocktruck is great. Give your customer a pencil or 30% discount he wont bat aneye, give him a cool toy for his desk the orders ten more rocktrucks :)
As an amateur and not particularly good machinist on manual gear... that picked up the cheapest piece of junk Chinesium 3018 CNC there is, I actually understand and can relate to what you're talking about... including the cussin :P Money well spent. Might not be able to cut steel, but neither will a textbook. Cheaper than a textbook, and more fun swearing at too. Maybe someday I too will be a certifiable Haas operator :) I actually have access to a Hass at work. One of the reasons I bought the 3018. I feel a lot more confident after watching this video :)
Ami I the only one who caught that Steve1989 reference? I was watching an old video before AvE deleted the back catalogue and he took a bolt and said let's get that out on a tray and chunked the bolt on a tray and said Nice! I damn near died laughing.
at my shop we made some vise grippers for grabbing stuff extra good. we make stuff out of carbon fiber typically but occasionally we need to make a tool to work some kinda problem out. its a 5 axis vf3ss barely a year old and uses pneumatic vises that work along with a robotic machine tender to keep the machine running lights out for production work. we did the knurling by using the last two axis to hold the stock at an angle and came in with a end mill to cut the knurls. we couldnt find anyone that sold a gripper bar like the one we made. quite simple compared to what we make production but now we can grab a massive block of stock and it will not go anywhere under a knurled grip of 75 psi.
I got one of those hammer heads in the mail a few days ago and bored out the pencil hole and made a slightly bigger slot and put a real handle on it. Works the "treat ah special" on little dowels.
It's better to have a bit of trepidation rather than surprise trepanation due to a part going into low earth orbit via your noggin at mach 1. Have yourself a great time you crazy bugger.

17:53 I'd like to place my non-substantial wager on those seedlings being some variety of Plantain. They are maybe not worth much for saving, but your chickens will happily eat them in all stages of growth, as will rabbits. It can also perform several herbalist remedies. From the three goals of serious herbalism, it performs one which is as a laxative. The other two, thankfully not; making it a pretty good plant to cultivate under trees, where its broad leaves can catch the sun and shade out competitive weeds, while attracting birds with its seeds, which can then eat the bugs that it pulls away from your garden. Hostas are probably a more conventional choice for that application though, and plenty edible to humans and all wildlife. Deer get territorial over a secluded hosta patch (they are naturally a woodland plant), and I got a good-sized White Tail that took a nap in my yard so as to grab another few bites of hosta at dawn before slipping back into the woods. He didn't make it back to the woods, and now I plant lots'a hostas (and sunchokes... Does love sunchokes... and mulberry leaves, but mulberries in the beaks of birds gets your car an unwanted paint job). :)

Nice gimmick for the knurl. I wonder how I'd spec that on a drawing. I'll have to confer with the shop on that one to agree on a secret code word for it. For hobby purposes, it's fun to put the cosmetic fillets on everything, but I spent a lot of effort trying to get the younger engineers to stop wasting shop time on them. It's so easy to put them in the design, but here we see how much time it takes on the machine. The customer didn't pay for the cosmetic fillets upgrade!
You know, I take great delight in embracing the fun & entertainment we enjoy in videos like this. Thank my God I didn’t get better educated, thank my God I’m a Blue Collar worker & not incarcerated in some Office Pen/cubical on the Hamster Wheel of boredom.

Has Ian Davis gotten in touch with you yet for help manufacturing his prosthetic hand prototypes? I referred him to you for CNC projects. He stated that you are subscribed to his channel. I really hope the two of you can collaborate on that! KEEP YOUR STINK ON THE RICE!
When you are giving the piece in the jaws some ultra-fine adjustment, you set the level down on the piece harder than the 'ol tappy-tap-tap that preceded it. Using a level, rather than the approved field mouse, bubble gum, eyeball it from 1 medium sized step away. You're a daring fella, AvE. I may or may not have puckered a bit when that turbo-plunge occurred. You'll never know, unless you look at my chair, which may or may not have a butt bite taken out of it. Ever pucker up so hard that the fabric comes off the chair that you're sitting on? Yeah, me neither...
You can reach Pucker Factor Zulu on your sofa cushion by watching videos of someone changing the light bulb on a 2,000' tower. The "butt bite" attained is much like that of a pit bull on a tire swing. It may not release!
Youd think in the day of AI they could just chuck a camera up in the corner which recognises the lump of aluminium in the vice in the middle of the machine.
I recall a time in the begotten days when I found a couple of crushed air diffusers under the pallet of an old Mazak I was working on. They wanted $370 each to replace them and 3 out of 4 were broken. Cost less in a trip to mcmaster get a piece of steel, an angle cutter, program and run the damn things myself than the cost of a singular piece. This was 20 years ago, when $370 was the equivalent of $85,204 when adjusted for inflation.
I retired from software engineering after 43 years and approximately 58.073598 percent of all the problems I had to pretend to fix occurred between the user’s seat and the keyboard (or mouse).
I just bought my very own HAAS this year also, Can't find any paying work though. I set up my vices with a couple stops so i can use the same G54 and G55 every time. I use the a 123 block for X, The back vice jaw for Y and a homemade parrellel made out of aluminum for Z. Works pretty well. I always just program to that, and my parts come out even better than if i probed them. My probe seems to always be a few tenths off anyway.
Anti-Crash Techniques! Op-Stop (M01) after picking up tool offset accompanying a G00Z6.0, turn off M01 after first part. When the tool stops, you take your 6" Rule out of your pocket and check the height above the part (Correct for the top of part Z height, of course). Consider bringing tool down to the part in the gap between the vise jaws. Better for the tool to descend into a void than a vice jaw, etc. Then pick up G41/G42, if you're using them, while coming into the corner to start trimming the part. As the increments of the feed/spindle is 10%'s, consider using 100/1000/10,000 for speeds then each percentage matches the real speed of the feed/spindle, 40% is 40ipm/4000rpm, etc. Easier to correct your speeds in your program when you get them dialed in. Regardless, you're making parts and you didn't crash your wonderful probe (Find those Ruby Balls when you do. Baby-Doll will appreciate 0.2000000" ruby earrings and hopefully ignore the bill for their replacements.)
Watching you struggle with surprise errors interrupting with your flow made me feel right at home. I run a couple of dual spindle Doosan and a whack of other Doosan and Fadal machines, but only in a production position. We've got fixture macros and optimized programs, so my knowledge level isn't very high.
I think i know what youre talking about? Youre running a production run so the machine runs itself. Vs running 1 off tool passes? The only metal work I do is with a file and a stick welder.
