Just a regular 4 flute for steel. It was new and sharp. They MUST be sharp. They won't cut cleanly on this UHMW or ABS without a really sharp edge. This was one from Tormach I ordered. I just pulled the cut file. That was at 5100rpm, .14" radial,. 5" axial, and 50ipm for about .005" feed per tooth. It was finished with a 1/2" four flute ball endmill at 5100rpm, 90ipm, and .02" step over. I use mist coolant. I was getting melting/sticking dry. Must be a pretty rigid setup or it'll flex the material. That was my biggest issue finishing. These are armrests for a power wheelchair. I made several. The final finish was very smooth to the touch once I figured it out.

Oh, the endmills were all regular 30 degree. Some of the 3/8" endmil roughingl was at 75ipm for .0073ipt. I can't remember what it was in the video.

@@williamclark77 Awesome thank you for this information! I will try some of these feeds/speeds out! I have a 1/4" plastic cutting o-flute for UHMW profile cutting, but it's coated so maybe my polished/non-coated aluminum cutting end mill will work better.

@@alabaska182 Good luck with it. Once I finally quit being scared to send it I got much better results and less overheating the material. I never tried any fancy specialty endmills. None of the oddball material projects I get are high enough in quantity to justify it. One of the worst I had was some ROUND parts from 101 copper with weird features and a deep 7/16-20 tapped hole in a thin wall.

Sounds great! I hope you didn't jinx yourself and that it lasts you a long time!

@@williamclark77 thanks mate I appreciate it ,😁🤜🤛

Thanks for the reply. Their updates have changed the process a little bit.

That could be a good idea. The comments come in waves it seems. Months with no comments then bombarded with many per day. I guess whenever it gets shared or makes its round in the algorithm.

Oh yeah. I'll never part with her. She's still doing great. I use her a few times a year to take to elementary schools and introduce them to snakes and educate. She's never so much as hissed in defense, even when touched by excited 8 year olds. Still feeds like she's insane though! And no, I haven't hand fed like in this video since. I only did then for a specific reason.

Nope

@@bovice1766 How observant thou are!

More like amateur 20 minutes

Commitment!

A whole lot more mess though! I hope to build a 3d printer large enough for things like this one day.

Read the description and any of the 1300 or so comments. It wasn't to be cute or cool. It was to show some people on a forum what would eventually happen if they continued to feed by hand, and if they still chose to, how to handle it when they did get bit.

I believe the places you must modify are in a little different location now since some updates. I didn't try going faster on Z to avoid damage. It may could handle faster. I haven't tried.

She was perfectly ok and still ate. So, she wasn't stressed. This video is about ten years old. She's still around doing great.

Ok, but then will you scratch my butt?

That will be nice. These could be 3d printed if you had a large enough printer. Mine is not that big!

Because they always eat when stressed!

Dont defend yourself. You know damn well this is a stupid amateur move that can potentially harm the animal. Lets just hope your smarter than you were 9 years ago.

@@sebl9710 Read the title of the video, the description, or a few of the thousands of comments.

Compared to their body size they have some of the longest. Adult retics, burms, etc have teeth that are larger. Just not as large compared to their size.

Yep. Spinal cord injury. Motocross.

@@williamclark77 I recognized the posture of your hand and the lack of response when it actually grabbed you. 😀

@@StLMikie Normal feeling. Little motor control. At least it didn't start clonis shaking and hurt her. I was worried about that.

I knew it would happen eventually.

Yep. Plain water from a spray bottle will usually work too. I didn't want to do anything to her and let her do her own thing since it was 100% my fault. I knew it would happen eventually.

@@williamclark77 I had a retic latched on and didn't let go for 15 min. It's a last resort that works 100% of the time.

@@stuntmanbillyslots Scary! I don't raise the big guys any more. I had burms, but thank goodness, never had a real bite from an adult. Juvies and hatchlings don't count. I always kept a spritzer bottle on their setups just in case.

Was it stalling at the stock servo settings? If so, I would think you have a hardware issue such bent gib, too tight gib, trash in the dovetails, etc.

Description stupid

She will never be sold!

Not on purpose but I knew it would happen eventually. So, I was prepared and didn't jerk away. It's no big deal if you don't panick and snatch back. That will hurt worse and likely hurt the snake pretty bad.

I haven't done the most recent update yet. Haven't had a chance to down the machine long enough and fool with the new ini files. Hopefully they didn't make it basically impossible. The updates used to not break it, just copy the file after updating. It seems it got more difficult each time after I posted this video. I hope I'm not why.

@@williamclark77 Thanks. Hopefully you wiz right thru it. Please keep me in the loop. Jim

Anybody Crack 2.4.3 yet? [email protected]

@@AndersonPrototypes I still haven't updated. Been too busy, which is good I guess. I plan to every weekend but too many projects to down the machine.

It wasn't showing off. I knew it would happen eventually and why I was recording. Tongs are absolutely necessary!

We all make bad decisions from time to time.

Awesome! They were hit and miss. I had five or so of their different models. One great, then the next nothing but problems out of the box. I only have one now and haven't fired it up in several years.

Not much with the cnc conversion itself. It came out really well. I wish I had taken time to remachine and scrape the table dovetails. It had a lot of wear near the middle of the travel that crippled its performance.

I replied to the wrong comment, sorry. I do use tongs on most of them most of the time. You're absolutely correct.

I bought it local. You could order them from a dozen places by searching "Coolster atv" a few years ago. I have no idea now.

Nevermind that was a boa

These do have pretty nasty teeth. Fortunately, they're very sharp like needles. As long as you remain calm and don't jerk away, the bites aren't bad, for you or the snake.

ETA... just found it. They changed the speeds into a different file named tormach_mill_base.ini

I haven't updated to 2.4 yet. I planned to in a few weeks when I had time to down the machine and play with it. I figured they would eventually do an update to make doing this more difficult, especially after the new faster machines came out.

@@bigdog200399 Actually, 2.4.3, this doesn't work with. Its different, no IPM, its something else. Let me know when you update please. Jim

She's still doing great! I take her and one other to elementary schools to educate children. Still super docile with a crazy food drive.

Thank you for your astute observation.

Haha no problem

Nothing dangles here. I blame the cold weather.

She gives me anxiety all the time!
