4 Axis aluminum part on Haas VF2-SSYT & HRC210

[@multiHappyHacker]

That's pretty awesome, that 5 axis vise is working out well.

[@phil2082]

This is awesome! My shop has a 4th axis, and no one knows how to use it. The guy who's been a machinist longer than I've been alive can't even program for it yet.

[@kuei1215]

I can, better than this guy :)

[@phil2082]

@@kuei1215 How can I learn? I just got an email today saying that the SainSmart CNC machine will have a $250 4th axis. It may be worth the $250 plus the $500-$700 for the tiny machine to get my own machine which programs like the big ones do.

[@kuei1215]

@@phil2082 DO YOU KNOW ANY CADCAM SOFTWARE?

[@phil2082]

@Kuei 12 Fusion 360, but I've not learned how to program for 4th axis yet. I'm sure I can spend time trying to, but it will cost me a lot of time.

Holy chatter batman! I love when a program runs fine then all of a sudden not.

Очень круто!

[@alexmortarotti8093]

What A-Frame are you using for larger parts/workholding?

[@jadesluv]

The HRC has an rpm of 138. Would it be possible to collet a 10mm diameter rod and turn it to 7mm Diameter from an end to 25mm in ? Would it be possible to put threads on said rod?

[@Fischer977]

nice. what's the red workholding system you use and how does it holds? dove tale?

[@GRTLRS]

Yep, it's a dovetail fixture. Similar to the Raptor Workholding one.

[@ivan61726]

you know why . I am making some letters in a 4 inch round but when I send my program to the cnc machine ... my 4 axis only rotates in one direction 360 degrees... I have to use any code on my program? Hope you help me thanks

[@ivan61726]

You have only one G54 x0 y0 z0 for all the part?

[@konstantinasvorobjovas2769]

Nice, what CAM software do you use?

Do you need to use the spot drill when drilling the aluminum material? Also, what speed do you use for tapping aluminum?

[@KenFoulks]

No, not usually. Unknown speed (in the video).

[@lucifersonsco.230]

don't listen to this moron always SPOT drill before drilling

[@mountcustoms5456]

Use a self centering drill. Most Carbide drills have this.

[@scottknight1301]

2nd carbide. No need with carbide 135-140 degree drills

[@scottknight1301]

@@lucifersonsco.230 You know a lot of carbide drills Don't recommend spotting before drilling right? Especially in materials like stainless and titanium because the spotting angle can shock the drill and chip the cutting edge.

[@dragonflyfab8982]

what is that copper brass tube along the right side of the spindle?

[@GRTLRS]

dragonfly fab It's an air nozzle for dry machining or blasting chips or coolant off the workpiece. A solenoid hooked up to the M21 optional relay delivers air. Program it on/off with M51/M61 codes.

[@atomkinder67]

GARRETT LEWIS Oh that's gold, we did the same thing, although made a manifold that bolts on with the Pcool. Same M51/M61 though. Modified our HSMWorks post to output for 'Air' in the coolant options.

[@piff1988]

what brand of 4th axis rotary is that. Not Haas I assume, seem too quick in rapid

[@GRTLRS]

+Chris Munday Yep It's a Haas. It's the HRC210. They make a 160mm also.

[@piff1988]

+GARRETT LEWIS Thanks. I did not know that, we only have hrt210 and 160

[@50STUNT]

slow motion, hard to watch cutting aluminum at that speed

bro send me postprosser file 4 axis

[@jchelm1979]

I wouldn't be posting this, it doesn't run well and its quite inefficient with tool paths and strategy.
