5-Axis is AMAZING! Sharing our CAD, CAM & Fixturing Workflow!

[@FesixGermany]

Whenever I see John standing at a machine smiling with joy it makes me smile too.

[@claudiugalea3038]

I think thats the secret of His succes. That passion and hard work gives him joy to do all this things. 🤟

[@adhamkamel5987]

hi my fr, you are a rare breed of business owner. Not many people understand that empowering and educating your employees will empower yourself even more. Not to mention how respectful you speak to each and every one of them regardless of age, sex or knowledge level. You can see they all respect you a great amount. Keep it up, your reach is spreading and your message is being heard more and more. Even have my w ife watching some of the videos too (She is a high school teacher). I've only been in business a short time but you are definitely a model CEO.

[@pasipalo-oja4690]

aah the look on kids face when he gets a new toy :D John you have come a long way from running your first cnc-machine in your apartment :) Really inspiring to reach for your dreams what you have accomplished :) thanks you for sharing :)

[@nyccnc]

Thanks!

[@carsonberger4308]

we just dropped some coin on 5th axis work holding and this video have helped set up a lot! Thanks John keep doin you’re thing.

[@adhamkamel5987]

Eitan, you are a distinguished person operating and appreciating your tools and respecting your team. You are an executive director of the type full of knowledge, your lectures, and your attendance at training amazes me so I hope to made 5 axis machine and program because I own a giant company in metals ,,,, my warm greetings to you and I wish to communicate and thank you for reading my letter

[@ScroungerLee]

Sometimes I get the feeling the world is moving on without me. I am right where John started with a 4-axis Taig mill and Micro-Mark lathe. Great info as always.

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

Me too, with a 6040, but I know a huge amount more than last year, in a large part due to SMW and John!

[@bluedeath996]

You should probably get some shrink fit collets with a long taper so you can shorten your tool stick out and still get into the pockets and close to the vise.

[@ActiveAtom]

Yes way to go this is going to total nail it John, thank you for sharing. This is becoming a great place to hang out and learn. Lance & Patrick.

[@arduinoversusevil2025]

Huh. Blaser luxury lube? How to prevent gooey buildup?

[@eda73194]

Blaser lube is guaranteed to keep carbide tools clean and clear of gooey Aluminum buildup* *This is not a guarantee Hope that Haas is treating you well

[@billcorrigan8456]

Maybe you could look at tooling and materials that don't need coolant or use air lol

[@Tarbard]

Mindblowing, can't wait till cheaper machines can do it.

[@WasNiksIsNiksWordtNiks]

Darren Tarbard This is a cheaper machine 😅

[@VId_Kok]

I never thought positional 5 axis programming is so simple in Fusion.

[@VId_Kok]

Nice! The longer the video the higher I jump from joy.

[@jaypierson5955]

Goldmine of info! Thanks John.

[@adhamkamel5987]

hi my fr

[@xenonram]

It's incredible to me that you STILL need to check your CAM for crashes. You have to post to CAMplete, and manually check. I can't believe that crashes are still a thing.

[@fredhaydt6351]

VIDEO IDEA: comparison of Haas UMC-750 versus a $500 eBay listed 4th/5th axis table. Measure tolerances of finished part.

[@redshiftcnc]

Oh man I want a 5axis so bad. Lol. Looks fun:)

[@jimsvideos7201]

Assemble sure, but no disassemble.

[@Blue.4t2]

Beats the heck out of the X-Carve! LOL

[@josha9620]

Was camplete expensive? Do u know if it can be used on Master cam?

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

At 1:26, doing the Extrude, the preview is shaded, then at 1:27 magically it becomes 'wireframe-ish'. How did you do that?? I have tried to replicate that, but the only thing I can do is hold down CTRL while previewing the extrude, but you have me stumped. You have really got me interested in 5-axis.. before it was pie-in-the-sky, but with your excellent encouragement (emphasis on courage :-), how hard could it be?

[@dmbworks8094]

change the part opacity to 10-20% (right click on the part in the browser on the left)

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

@@dmbworks8094 Clearly not what is going on, and I tried that. The active component is the stock component and it is clearly 'shaded with edges'.

[@dmbworks8094]

@@BrilliantDesignOnlinethe part he is working on has the opacity set down. in preferences, general, design, has "active component visibility" unchecked. then in the visual style menu use shaded with visible edges ctrl+6

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

@@dmbworks8094 That was it! Thank you for your help..I like to be in full control and understand all settings :-)

[@bcbloc02]

Why run the part at 10:32 on a 5 axis when it looks like a simple 3 axis part? How would the run times compare?

[@tj9382]

Very helpful, thanks.

[@PM.al.whatmough]

nice job... love the video.

[@paulkennedy5953]

Is the vise model already in there, the software, that is....?

[@Buggi1011]

Americans with their haas toy machines 😄

[@loupitou06fl]

Maybe a stupid question but does the reduced setup time (vs 3/4 Axis) compensate for the smaller width/depth of cuts ?

[@dmbworks8094]

HSM style of cutting is typically opted for with lighter per tooth cutting. depending on the machine, in some cases HSM is faster regardless.

[@paulkennedy5953]

Scary sometimes though....😯😯

[@antshark]

Great stuff!! John Saunders, other than a bigger work envelope, what advantages does the UMC have over something like the Haas TRT160 tilting rotary table that is installed in a 3 axis vertical cnc?

[@dmbworks8094]

im not john but I don't see them answer much. Rigidity when it comes to making larger parts is probably the biggest advantage. also a youtube revenue advantage as they are much more interesting to watch haha. a true 5 axis machine is a great addition if you have a 3 axis to do things like the "zero" or clean up ops plus more typical job shop work. Just as john has done, progression is the way. i feel most people will have to go thru the steps of a 3 axis, to table top 5 axis to true 5 axis to build experience and work, especially those that are truly a self owned company.

[@antshark]

@@dmbworks8094 thank you for your response. So it seems like it would make a lot of sense for someone to just add a "tabletop" rotary table. Unless you need to make bigger parts. One draw back to 5 axis machining is you're only making one part at a time. So for larger quantity parts it doesn't seem to make too much sense.

[@cedriceveleigh]

@@antshark No, there are ways of fixturing like this that use five axes with multiple parts: www.nextgentooling.com/uploads/2/8/4/1/28413645/9874122_orig.jpg

[@redshiftcnc]

Can you use pallet systems in the 5axis? Like the pierson pallet or is it better for just one part at a time.

[@47EZ_DRIVER]

pierson pallet works just not full vac fixtures

[@ToddSandercock]

I don’t recommend putting a standard 3 jaw on the mill. Get something like the Lang 3 jaw chuck. Pretty sure 5th axis copied the exact stud layout so you can screw the 5th axis studs into the bottom of the Lang chuck.
