Angles to cut on sides boards are 30 degrees and not 22.5; if you call it a Leopold Bench at least afford the man the honor of doing it correctly!🤨

Mr Curry thank you for these lessons on manual mills and lathes. I live in remote Northern Australia and just found your website which is awesome for someone like me who is just starting to learn about how to use lathes and mills. As we are remote there are no ways to learn about these things unless we go to a bigger city like Brisbane, Melbourne or Perth and stay there for 10 week periods to complete a practical course at a TAFE which is very expensive as you would have to pay for accommodation as well as the course fees and meals. Your instruction makes it easy for someone with no experience to learn the basics in using a manual lathe and mill. As we are so remote we have to be able to make as many parts or pieces as possible or wait days or weeks if the wet season is here before we are able to get a part sent to us or alternatively fly to the nearest big city to purchase the part which is also expensive. I would think they have the same problem in Alaska and Siberia where the distance from the nearest city is three or four days travel away if the rivers are not in flood. Regards from far North Queensland Australia

Very happy to hear that you are able to make use of my videos and that they are helping you learn the machining trade.

@sr20shane Ай бұрын

how do you know what kind of tools the NC viewer can use? is their a list of tools on the website?

@bradcurry7775 Ай бұрын

NC viewer is not a CAM system. I use it as a precursor just to check and verify the G-code. As the programmer, you need to have an idea of which type and size of cutting tool that you are going to need to use, based on the cutting operation that is being performed.

Something I recently discovered is although HSS bits may be _old technology_ they are the _correct_ technology for home machinists. The insert tools are meant for production work using extremely powerful and fast machines. As home machines are neither the hand sharpened HSS bits are actually the preferred tool. This requires _knowledge_ of how to grind such a tool and the grinder to do it on. The insert tools although they do a lesser job don't require either. I've been using the wrong tool for facing off. What you said makes perfect sense too.

@bradcurry7775 Ай бұрын

When comparing production machining to manual machining a lot of it comes down to rigidity of the machine tool. HSS still has its place especially with machines with lower max RPM where you don't get any advantage from the higher surface feeds that can be achieved with carbide tooling. HSS isn't as strong or as hard as carbide but it isn't brittle and doesn't chip out and shatter as easily as either so on manual machines that aren't as rigid as larger cnc or that have more play in them the chatter and vibration can cause carbide to chip out where as HSS wont. The main key as mentioned is knowing what your machining conditions are, what machine you are running, and which one will give you a better tooling advantage for the machining process you are working on.

How did you get it to run windows on it? I'm looking to buy my first cnc and found one like this for a good price. Would like to upload g code from fusion 360 and via USB upload it to the machine to run the code. Do you also have usb on it ?

@bradcurry7775 2 ай бұрын

Students learn how to manually read and write G-Code for this machine. If you are using Fusion to generate your code, you would probably need to manually edit the prep code since I doubt that there is a post written to post process the code in any CAM system. I'd probably just use a generic post after you write your tool paths. Its a good training machine. There are better production machines out there.

Yep, lots of ways for people to learn now-a-days if one has the desire to learn how. Feel free to check out my other tutorials on drawing in AutoCAD, Inventor, OnShape, and Fusion and of course the software providers themselves also have learning content for anyone who wants to learn the basics. Sometimes advanced modeling techniques, tools and skills can be a little more tricky. I suppose one of the biggest differences between learning on your own vs. going to a community college to take the classes is my students usually have an easier time finding a full time job making $18-$25 an hour working in Industry. If you are just doing it as a hobby, there are lots of ways to learn on your own.

@bradcurry7775 3 ай бұрын

You would need to cut it away for the body of the jeep. The body of the jeep has two square posts extending out from the front. The original bumper would need to be cut off by cutting around the bumper posts. Once removed you simple glue my repro bumper onto the bumper posts.

Very useful to be able to move the tool in discreet steps; which I did not know about before viewing this video. Thanks

Yep, you could, that's one of the great things about youtube and the internet, it has never been so easy to learn how to do something if you have the desire and the ability. My tutorial videos on drawing in AutoCAD, Inventor, and OnShape are free for anyone to watch. I make them for my students but anyone can watch them. Some people can learn and pick up new skills this way. Other people need a little more structured learning in a classroom with the help of an instructor. The main thing to me is that a student keeps learning.

@larryrobinson7492 8 ай бұрын

I assume this was something for some students for a specific project or machine, way over complicated for something like that. I personally can't stand line numbers, I delete them when I see them. Only use them if needed. Startup line didn't even show G20 and the M0 is for sure aggravating to have right there. For the new hobby people a good startup line would not use G43. A good startup line is G0 G90 G54 G17 G20 then you need the G0 Z1.5 next line you can have G0 X0.0 Y0.0 etc. I'm guessing maybe you were doing a pocket (not sure) but I would back the Y up on the first move before plunging down. Not bashing you at all just seemed over complicated for someone that's new to this. Sadly most new hobbyist try to ignore learning Gcode but on the GRBL controllers it's very simple and we don't use G40 series numbers but instead just calculate where you need the endmill to be.

How to making this Gcode without write it manually? I mean like using tools and then just copying the gcode

@bradcurry7775 10 ай бұрын

We teach how to write basic GCode in our program to start. There are several Cad/Cam program that can be used as well. In our advanced CNC classes we teach Creo and Fusion360. students can learn to use Solidworks, Inventor, OnShape and other solid modeling programs. There are several other CAM programs that could be used to write your programs. Of course a solid understanding of Workholding, cutting tools, and cutting operations are key to writing good programs. If you don’t know how to hold the part to cut hole at a 30’degree angle or what the process to drill, bore, and ream a Hile to hold size and location your program won’t necessarily guarantee that you hold tolerance
