What a brilliant video. It clearly shows processes I have only speculated about in the past. As a machinist, metallurgist and electron microscopist it ticks so many of my boxes. I think this is the most illuminating thing I have seen on UA-cam. To answer some other questions, the "triangle bit" is High Speed Steel (as it says in the caption) and the imaging method is Scanning Electron Microscopy. The difficulty of doing machining inside an SEM chamber should not be underestimated.
It's mind boggling to see such a magnification of the micro structure of steel and how it reacts with the different cutting tools-- you can actually see the hairline fractures of the chips starting around 1:25 from steel exceeding it's yield strength, becoming brittle and fracturing. Absolutely beautiful and stunning!
Love it! Love the music, too. I'm dumbfounded that you were able to get a high-speed image of machining inside an SEM chamber. I agree that this is one of the better videos on UA-cam.
This looks so much like the formation of a landscape, It's interesting how the same laws that built our planets valleys and mountains seem to be present at such a microscopic level.
I'm fairly certain this video was produced by Valenite back in the day. I remember seeing it in 1993 when I got into cutting tool sales full time. Notice the tooling being used is HSS and the coatings are TiN. I've seen this shared recently by some of the largest carbide manufacturers in the world. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Hello Brian, hello Rick, or anyone! I'd be enormously grateful if either of you can say who actually created and first published this video. It seems to be quite widely shared on the internet but with no credit details.
1,Since I work for Iscar, the second largest carbide manufactuer in the would, and they call it BUE, Im going with that. 2, This is my channel, Ill call it what I want, espcially since I do have my facts right. 3, Your channel is all music, I would not post negitive comments on your channel since I know very little about the music business. Have a nice day!
This appears to me like a carbide insert commonly found on facemills. Its likely not as small as you think. The chip being sheared off is likely .015-.020" thick which is reasonably large as far as machining is concerned.
According to my extensive research of looking below the video, its "Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), K. 620: Overture (from The Magic Flute)" played by London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Wouldn't it be better to give the leading edge of the cutter a concave curve? That way the "splitting angle" will be less and the material has more space to go. Perhaps it would bunch up less?
Is the accumulation of material at the tip, that then gets deposited/left on the work piece, a problem? What's the cause of that process? The tool not being sharp enough, or is it the material itself? Machining is fuckin' fascinating!
That is called "build up edge" BUE. Yes it is a problem. Most of the time it is caused by not enough speed in the cut. Dull tools and material is the rest of the problem. The trick is to find the right speed and tool shape to minimize BUE.
So with enough speed, BUE doesn't have the time to form or doesn't get big enough to be a problem? Also - is the cracking in front of the tool also a problem, or is it actually how the material comes off when you cut it?
What I find tremendously interesting are the spikes that launch out linearly from the surface during the cutting process. It seems they are illustrations of the role surface and inner tension in a substance interact. It also seems that the closer the blade is to the surface, the harder it is for the blade to progress. Why is this? Does this illustrate the role oxidation and other processes play @ the surface level?
The spikes are due to stress fractures in the cut metal. As for the difficulty of cutting so close to the surface, you're on the right track, but backwards! As the metals being cut change and it gets harder it is to cut the steel, the blade gets pushed higher.
Hello Rick Steinard, hello Brian Barth, or anyone! I'd be enormously grateful if someone can tell who actually created and first published this great video, and when. It seems to be quite widely shared on the internet but with no authorship credit details.
This is a great video. Thanks for sharing. I would like to know if there are this kind of videos but focused on the tool wear evolution. Please if someone knows about this tell me. Regards.
How great would it be to have a button that you can click on the mute the video and while watching, you could listen to whatever song you wanted to. How awesome would it be?
You might be able to find this song on CD somewhere, I don't know, maybe at a store? and then you could have it and hold it and not be aggravated. And, really, isn't that what it's all about? Being happy?
Not true, necessarily. This was obviously filmed under an electron microscope, which only captures images in the black and white pigment range. In reality, steel has a variety of subtle pigments, not just grey, black, and white.
Fantastic. When was this filmed? Amazing to see the edge not actually doing the cutting on lots of those - perhaps we need to look again at what 'sharp' means?
That front edge build up ....Grrrrr.!!
This is the best machining video. Perhaps the best video, period.

I think the most amazing thing I learned from this video was the sound a tool makes when cutting metal, it's almost like an orchestra playing.
don't hear any sound at all ???
Lol the only job ive ever bothered to dig deeper into, is machining. I love it. There's nothing like having your part come out perfect.
i have seriously no idea why i am watching this right now, nor why do i found this awesome...
Every youtube video except for this one is loading extremely slowly for me. THANK YOU VIDEO I LOVE YOU, YOUR MUSIC AND THE WAY YOU CUT STEEL!
Love it! Love the music, too. I'm dumbfounded that you were able to get a high-speed image of machining inside an SEM chamber. I agree that this is one of the better videos on UA-cam.
I love watching the tip on the blade stress and eventually break off. Hypnotizing.
i think by combining ultra powerful microscopes with super slow-motion cameras well will be able to see things never thought possible.
LMFAO.
Obviously.
I find this so much more fascinating than i thought i would
I wish I had an idea of how magnified this is.
The music makes cutting metal seem awesome! I should play this when I'm in the shop XD.
At such a close vantage point it looks so imprecise. But I know that's not the case. Cool video.
The first blade trims the hair, the second blade removes the hair at its base, the third blade removes your epidermis ...
***** Not now, there 'aint.
take my thumbs up and leave.
Great video, I'm gonna show this to all of our apprentices.
As a machinist: "I came twice."
me too
Only twice !!!
You don't have to be a machinist to achieve full release.
this is strangely satisfying to watch
well this was a whole lot cooler then I imagined it could ever be!!
Yeah, the engine scales perfectly. Nice programming skills from the dev team.
Congratulations ISCAR, this is very illustrative of machining process.
The best video ever for cutting of metal..
This looks so much like the formation of a landscape, It's interesting how the same laws that built our planets valleys and mountains seem to be present at such a microscopic level.
came for the video, stayed for the epic music
This is an example of science being beautiful. Nice music, too.
I could watch this all day ....

It does look like a Valenite video I’ve seen in the past.

Have a nice day!
It is actually very interesting, because what builds up in there is the white lamellar structure, maybe son Si or Cr.
I have been lokking fir such a video for a long time. Subscribed.
Amazing to see that most of the time the cut starts in front of the tip instead of at the edge of the tip itself. Never knew that ...
Very cool. PIastic deformation taking place. And I thought there was a build up on the tip and this proves it.
Looks like a lathe job.
came for the slow motion cutting of metal, stayed for the music
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. TOPLEL.
okay, now that was awesome. on so many levels.
Amazing. And completely counter-intuitive to what I imagined it would be.
The music for this video is perfect.
This music is PERFECT!
Do you have a video showing thermal imaging of the heat difference between the chip and a ceramic insert?
Great video, with surprisingly suitable music.
why is this so satisfying
How does the cutting oil get too the tip of the cutter. If the cutting tip is below the surface of the metal?
The music made it around 100 times better.
Way ahead of you, I started watching as I took a "dump"
Came for the video. Stayed for the music

Your video has gone viral as exemplary advertising (social media) for a not-so-sexy marketing content subject. Well done!
RESPECT YOUR ELDERS YOUNG SONNY BOY!!!!!
got such a nice feeling from watching this vid
This is a great video
Wouldn't it be better to give the leading edge of the cutter a concave curve? That way the "splitting angle" will be less and the material has more space to go. Perhaps it would bunch up less?
I was watching this while high, looks so delicious
Great video!
For those wondering, as I was, the piece is from Mozart. Its called Die Zauberflote, K.620 (The Magic Flute) Overture.
This is mesmerizing...
Is the accumulation of material at the tip, that then gets deposited/left on the work piece, a problem? What's the cause of that process? The tool not being sharp enough, or is it the material itself? Machining is fuckin' fascinating!

It's so soft and smooth
There is beauty in everything.

Well, this is trully cutting edge technology :D
Don't worry I´ll show myself out.
i like watching the clump at the tip form
Hello Rick Steinard, hello Brian Barth, or anyone!

Remarkable stuff. Thanks for posting.
Stunning video.
I love these tiny moments that show us that we don't understand the universe, not even on simple things we were pretty sure we understood.
Mesmerizing... :)
Finally I learning BUE thanks for share :))
Bro can you explain what is BUE and how it is formed?
I thought it was someone trying to cut cheese at first
that was friggin amazing
It's beautiful. Like cutting clay
Amazing.. Please make same video for negative rake angle.
This was the only video featured in the Cracked article that i personally didn't care too much for.
I'm a sub-atomic theorist and I have to say that this is such a crude video.
you forgot to put on sunglasses and say YEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH
Yeah, the particle generator is awesome.
This is what happens every time I slice butter. The music too lol.
just beautiful!
close up view of me scraping the inch of grime off my body after a week long diablo 3 binge
This was one of the more elicidating videos I've seen in a while. I need to see if a certain idea is patentable & business-viable.
Yup, this is about what I expected.
so thats the sound metal cutting metal makes when you slow it down!
This is a great video. Thanks for sharing. I would like to know if there are this kind of videos but focused on the tool wear evolution. Please if someone knows about this tell me. Regards.
Every time I pull up this video and the music ends I get aggravated that it is not the full song.
loved the music!
How great would it be to have a button that you can click on the mute the video and while watching, you could listen to whatever song you wanted to. How awesome would it be?
You might be able to find this song on CD somewhere, I don't know, maybe at a store? and then you could have it and hold it and not be aggravated. And, really, isn't that what it's all about? Being happy?
I like the part where it's going through steel.
Ah! A fan of CG I see.
why does mozart's magic flute fit so well w/ this?
Wow, looks like something sharp cutting through metal, in slow motion and magnified.
Amazing.....the material looks like aluminum/aluminium to the European crowd....but, it says steel....!!
this is what life feels like
I wanna see what it looks like cutting brass with a negative rake angle. I cant imagine what it actually looks like
Not true, necessarily. This was obviously filmed under an electron microscope, which only captures images in the black and white pigment range. In reality, steel has a variety of subtle pigments, not just grey, black, and white.
I like this music.
Fantastic.
When was this filmed?
Amazing to see the edge not actually doing the cutting on lots of those - perhaps we need to look again at what 'sharp' means?
