John, I know you don't make much UA-cam revenue...and your subscriber count hasn't really moved since you began this 'daily' VLOG 32 episodes ago... However, I hope I can speak for plenty of others who think this is AWESOME. If all you do is set up a camera for time-lapse...and occasionally stop by it to clarify something...we will watch. Keep it up, Stay safe, and know that we appreciate the effort that goes in to making these videos happen.
Hi John and team, I have to say, I become addicted to your channel. Discovered you two weeks ago or so and just played all the videos on the channel, some of them twice. Amazing content, from the point of view of a small business trying to make more in house parts, you are such an influence. Keep doing it!!!
I love these videos because he gives us an eye into the shop and also more of how you think while you're learning. Super cool to watch! Love the videos.
Should have sent that broken connector back, or at least contacted them. That seems like an expensive piece to just throw away. There's no reason it should have broke after a few months. Yeah! Angelo was right. Your left side is "burnt" but the right isn't. Mount a retractable reel on the wall right by the door. It's so worth it. Much nicer than a loose hose.
I've watched you guys from the beginning. I've also been involved in tooling sales to high tech machine shops. It's amazing the dedication and debt you've undertaken to make folding pocket knives.
Any reason why you don’t rotary broach the torx? How big is the endmill you use for it? What kinda feeds and speeds are you running? Is it reliable, how many parts does one cutter last? You don’t have to tell me your secrets, but it would be good to know if you don’t mind 😄
when you are finding center just make a cut, measure it and in the tool offset put the axis and what you measured (Y.02). it will find center on its own from that. its a computer, let it do the math. then in the wear offset its diameter moves for adjustment. when changing the tool offset its coordinate moves, wear offset are diameter moves. that's how my fanuc controlled swiss works at least..
Hi, you have your swiss lathe for a while, the first thing is to find out it's coordinate system and axis arrangements modes. Most lathes with Y axis have Y linear so basically it is the same as milling machine but X would be as diameter. So working in XY plane you need to consider this. Also there should be XC mode (polar coordinates and XC without polar emabled). Polar mode is for milling at Y=0 and X>0 but works similar as XY but it have its prons and cons, so should be used depending on situation. XC without polar is mainly used for drilling on PCD.
You should put quick release plates/arms for your camera fixed everywhere and just plug the camera there, so you don't get distracted holding it. Awesome as always.
Or a low hum that you can't tell for sure if it's a truck idling outside or if it's in your head. Something that I've had the "pleasure" of experiencing lately. And I don't even subject my ears to loud noises. It sucks, bad.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stuff @johngrimsmo ...... thought you were way out there a few years ago when you posted a vid of you walking around outside strategizing about the future by yourself, but I was completely wrong. You’ve really nailed it. 👍👍💪💪 Thanks for taking us along for the ride (and all of the useful stuff I’ve learned from you on BOM 😂😂😎😎)
Just watching you scroll through the program. you likely know this but you can type in anything in the program and then hit arrow down key and it will jump to that line. for example u can type M9200 then hit down arrow and it will jump right down to the M9200 line. again u likely know this but thought i would share it just in case.
@@tomrevere9091 ahh got it. So a piece of the same stock, with the end milled to half thickness installed into the collett. Could use that to get both height and depth settings of the parting tool? Obviously I'm not a machinist, just interested in the problem. It's such an awkward machine to get in close to see.
you need to get a harbor freight retractable air hose reel to mount next to the door so you can fill up the tires like you were talking about and have it easily put away
Does the tornos have geometry offset? If so, you can measure from the bottom of the tool to the cutting edge and enter that into your geometry offset page so you don't have big offsets in your regular offset page.
Hi John, what cam software do you use to program the Tornos? I know you use Fusion for the Kern and Dmg.... on my Tornos sigma 25, I usually have to move the y axis half of the measured pip size, and usually part the component a bit past the X0 for TNR.
G7 vs G8, at least on some controllers, switches between diameter and radius mode. It doesn't really matter which you pick, but stick with it and make everyone in the shop do the same. Otherwise the kids get to learn new curse words. :)
it irks me that reliably leak free air couplings are hard to find at a moderate cost......What are people favorite models (shops that use air 40+ hrs a week)?
hi, my name is jay from indonesia. I really like your video especially about Tornos lathe. can you show me how to set the tool because I just bought the Tornos GT 32 But still confused about how to set the tool, and how to enter settings into parameters or tool geometries. thank you.
Everyone seems to like the Kern but I like the swiss content. Your swiss content is what brought me to your channel about a year ago when I was searching for info on how to program a swiss. I run and program a Star 38J, which I love. Your Tornos would be annoying to me. There are too many oddball steps to complete a simple task. Press and hold; do this, do that; blah, blah, blah; just to run one path is dumb as hell. I program a couple of Brother 3-axis mills, which are like this, and I am absolutely annoyed that it takes 5 or 6 steps just to change a freaking offset. Then the door interlock systems!! OMG, I hate them. I'm not lying when I say they are disconnected within a few hours of the installation team leaving.
Are you familiar with Natural Capitalism (www.natcap.org/)? It’s a book about reducing costs by reducing resource use. It’s full of illustrative examples. One of them is about a shop that was spending hundreds extra per year on electricity to run compressors at night due to leaks in their air distribution. Investing a few bucks in fixing the leaks saved hundreds by not running the compressors unnecessarily. The book is full of stuff like that. Good reading.
John, don't you just feed off of every day being a problem solving day? I DO! Love the content! Also, as far as the nub conflicting measurements go, it's going to take some trig to figure out what the X and Y axis is off to get it down to a theoretical no nun. Stay safe and healthy!

you are mesuring 25 in the diameter so you move the tool 12.5 which is the radius

Might be worth checking out the center finding cameras that you could mount in/on the right spindle to set you tools height.

Awesome as always.
Thank you for taking your time and explaining interesting stuff..
Protect your ears from the high pitch sounds. You don’t want ringing in your ears when you’re 50.

Its the old timers listening to the beetles but more problematic was the women screaming at the beetles.
Try 25

Is it possible that your tooling offset (Y) is diameter based while the Y machine offset is global (radius based) ?
Why can’t you touch off the top of your stock, and divide by half like any other lathe centering operation? What am I missing?
Y axis not X

You may want to try the new y axis parting blade. Much better design, if they make one for the swiss.
Tape a piece of plastic on the inside of the lid at an angle to prevent oil raining down all over the place.

Hey John,
for Messure your Parts from Tornos
Buy this one Interapide SHE 30. you can also messure the pibid perfekt.
Best regards

You can get a sunburn like that in 20 minutes in Australia.

I would return that quick disconnect 100%. It had to be faulty

Hello, are you guys planning on changing Norseman blade steel soon?

You s shouldn't be having so much trouble with tools moving about. Once it's set then should just be wear from then
Hey , was wondering why the coolant looks so oily unlike a normal cnc lathe or milling machine
Because he's using oil instead of coolant. It's quite common in swiss lathes.
Isn’t that the tool holder you modified the other day?
This is cool to see, but there is only one you. Is fixing air piping yourself really an effective use of your time?
If it takes him less time that to task somebody else to do it ... and he is "waiting" for a machine, or similar. He's the boss.
John, don't you just feed off of every day being a problem solving day? I DO! Love the content! Also, as far as the nub conflicting measurements go, it's going to take some trig to figure out what the X and Y axis is off to get it down to a theoretical no nun. Stay safe and healthy!
