This is awesome! My shop has a 4th axis, and no one knows how to use it. The guy who's been a machinist longer than I've been alive can't even program for it yet.
@@kuei1215 How can I learn? I just got an email today saying that the SainSmart CNC machine will have a $250 4th axis. It may be worth the $250 plus the $500-$700 for the tiny machine to get my own machine which programs like the big ones do.
you know why . I am making some letters in a 4 inch round but when I send my program to the cnc machine ... my 4 axis only rotates in one direction 360 degrees... I have to use any code on my program? Hope you help me thanks
The HRC has an rpm of 138. Would it be possible to collet a 10mm diameter rod and turn it to 7mm Diameter from an end to 25mm in ? Would it be possible to put threads on said rod?
@@lucifersonsco.230 You know a lot of carbide drills Don't recommend spotting before drilling right? Especially in materials like stainless and titanium because the spotting angle can shock the drill and chip the cutting edge.
dragonfly fab It's an air nozzle for dry machining or blasting chips or coolant off the workpiece. A solenoid hooked up to the M21 optional relay delivers air. Program it on/off with M51/M61 codes.
GARRETT LEWIS Oh that's gold, we did the same thing, although made a manifold that bolts on with the Pcool. Same M51/M61 though. Modified our HSMWorks post to output for 'Air' in the coolant options.

I can, better than this guy :)

@@phil2082 DO YOU KNOW ANY CADCAM SOFTWARE?
@Kuei 12 Fusion 360, but I've not learned how to program for 4th axis yet. I'm sure I can spend time trying to, but it will cost me a lot of time.

That's pretty awesome, that 5 axis vise is working out well.
Holy chatter batman! I love when a program runs fine then all of a sudden not.
nice. what's the red workholding system you use and how does it holds? dove tale?
Yep, it's a dovetail fixture. Similar to the Raptor Workholding one.

You have only one G54 x0 y0 z0 for all the part?

Do you need to use the spot drill when drilling the aluminum material? Also, what speed do you use for tapping aluminum?
No, not usually. Unknown speed (in the video).
don't listen to this moron always SPOT drill before drilling
Use a self centering drill. Most Carbide drills have this.
2nd carbide. No need with carbide 135-140 degree drills

What A-Frame are you using for larger parts/workholding?
Nice, what CAM software do you use?

what is that copper brass tube along the right side of the spindle?

what brand of 4th axis rotary is that. Not Haas I assume, seem too quick in rapid
+Chris Munday Yep It's a Haas. It's the HRC210. They make a 160mm also.
+GARRETT LEWIS Thanks. I did not know that, we only have hrt210 and 160
Что за тисочке на головке?
Очень круто!
slow motion, hard to watch cutting aluminum at that speed
شيء رائع جدا
Hi
bro send me postprosser file 4 axis
I wouldn't be posting this, it doesn't run well and its quite inefficient with tool paths and strategy.
