brass is even easier to machine than aluminium, because it is harder. sounds contraintuitive, but aluminium tends to gum up and chip weld much easier than brass does.

Or is it because brass has higher melting point?

Hi, really nice videos! im wondering if brass is even harder than 7075 aluminium, is it?

Loving the latest serious on metals Winston! Curious if you might do any for those of us without a Nomad and instead with the Shapokeo and the Dewalt 611? I know in theory it's different, but not really sure what needs to change given the minimum 16k RPM.

See the guidelines mentioned on the Aluminum for Shapeoko video. Generally, scale up feedrates by same margin as spindle Speed (60%), or a tiny bit less to be conservative. -W

Do you mind sharing where you source your aluminum and brass?
@megandjasper Жыл бұрын
Yes! I'd appreciate that too. I'm trying to source some for my final machining project at school right now

i have a 0.50in brass stock that needs to be surface machined to 0.416in before I can proceed with my 3D adaptive roughing and finishing tool paths: what cutting and/or end mill would you recommend for surfacing?
@QuentinKarmark Жыл бұрын
the stock is 4in by 10in x 0.5in

#278-Z Single flute 1/4” cutter to within .05mm of your final dimension. #201-Z Three flute 1/4” with a 30% reduction in stepover. This will definitely have tool marks, but should be quite smooth to the touch. Finishing after that is up to you preference.

@@carbide3d thank you. I am new to machining brass/aluminum - very helpful! I am using a 2.2KW water cooled spindle and wondered if a 0.5in end mill would be OK?

Is the lead in free machining brass actually anything to be concerned about when using small cutters? I've done a few of these smaller pieces and I'm worried about the dust that's created by the small tooling. Stupidly, I've stood by my machine while it's been doing these operations a few times and probably breathed some of this in.
