Ran with one of these back in the day. Super fast, really easy to use/teach. Always used gloves while changing tools tho cause boy if you don't cool that tool down right... you gunna know it.
One question I have about balancing is if I'm running at 8,000 rpm on a BT30 spindle, with a tool holder that has ~0.0018" runout at 6" stick out, would balancing still be beneficial?
That is a fantastic question that I will follow up on for ya - I’m out at Westec next week and I believe the Haimer folks will be there - I’ll do my best to chase down an answer!
We always recommend balancing. While tool holders themselves may be prebalanced, that isn't the only thing going into the spindle. Things like collets, cutting tools, and pull studs can impact balance and in turn, negatively affect tool life, spindle life, and surface finish. Hope that helps!
Haimer should give this guy a raise. He's really a good salesman. He speaks and shows very well.
Definitely please do more on balancing!
Thank you for doing these vids!
Much appreciated! :)
Thank you very much for watching - we will definitely do some more on balancing!

There are lots to learn about balancing! It is definitely one of the hidden problems that affect most machinists.

Man.... I use to live in Villa Park Illinois when I was a kid.
It was my first time to Illinois, I really dug it! Really cool spot!
@@iansandusky417 Back in the early 70s Villa Park was not considered a city because of the lack of people.
@@tomasobamela oh wow, crazy how much it changes!
You are welcome to visit anytime! :)
