I remember from my machine design class that having set screws 180 deg apart is actually weaker and more prone to loosening than having them 120 or even 60 degrees apart. I think this was in Shigley's iirc. May not apply since you're grabbing a flat, but still a random fact of the day!

[@dimitar4y]

True, since the screws are opposing eachother rather than working together; so all your holding power is solely on the threads, not by friction against a face.

[@TomHaroldArt]

@@dimitar4y Well, damn! The things you learn in the comments of a ToT video!

[@Gottenhimfella]

Generally true, but there's one exception: if you use them (2 @ 180) to improve the holding of a self-holding taper, and incline the flats (and the screws) in the opposite direction from the flanks of the taper, so the vector sum of the two forces is a thrust axially, tightening the grip of the taper. The slightest slip will increase the tightening effect further still. I've only recently come up with that idea (needing to transmit a sh*t tonne of torque without much available space) and it worked a charm. The key difference is that tightening the screws, progressively and in turn, does not create or retain clearance as it would with a cylindrical fit.

[@dimitar4y]

@@Gottenhimfella Well, yes, if the screw is flat on it's pushy bit, it'll be useless. But if the screws point to eachother, but are off-center, and have little pyramid heads, they'll push the SIDES of the thread against the object for massive holding torque.

[@Gottenhimfella]

@@dimitar4y That's another way. Not quite as strong as flat-ended screws set at an angle, bearing on flat "whistle notches" milled across the shaft, because your solution provides only line contact between a conical screwpoint and a conical dimple. This means the material along this line will be displaced (by yielding) at a lower torque, leaving the joint vulnerable to reversing loads.

[@hombre3000]

Great video Tony. Something I noticed, just in case it helps (and in case you're still using this) is that the motor mounting flange is not square to the axis of the "shell" which holds your bearings.

I had a CNC teacher many years ago (40) that only had a Bridgeport CNC mill, but taught lathe programming using it by putting the stock in the collet and clamping the tool in the vise. In this manner, it was programmed just like any other CNC lathe - tool movement perpendicular to the center line was X, tool movement parallel to the centerline was Z. At that time it was all mostly manual programming (we did use a system/language called COMPACT II using a dial-up modem to a mainframe for some "CAM" type programming).

[@lukaradakovic5463]

What are the chances of doing a video on a pneumatic brake for the new add-on? :) Maybe using it as a infinite precision dividing head, and solve the holding torque issue with that brake. Maybe even using a disc brake behind the chuck and a brake jaw to lock it. Would be a lot of fun + a handy tutorial for my next build :DDDDDD Awesome vid mate!

[@j-man72b72]

Electromagnetic brake would also work well. Electromagnetic so the chips fall off when the power is off. A pneumatic/solenoid operated pipe strap? Obviously this all assumes the play can't be eliminated in settings or other hardware... Contacting the motor rep/help line and finding out if the motor is capable of holding position without any lash would be my first step.

[@xenonram]

It's a steeper... It "locks" itself. (Enough to do the very light work he'd be doing with the router.)

[@lukaradakovic5463]

J-man72 b I think electromagnetic brakes have sort of like steps, they dont have infinite resolution so to say. They would rotate the spindle a few degrees towards that fixed position. Maybe there are EM brakes that dont have that issue but when i was looking around, all i found were these ones :/

[@lukaradakovic5463]

Andrew Delashaw Not sure now if it was a stepper or an AC servo anymore, but either way, locking itself in would be a much more reliable feature than depending on the motor to hold on for dear life :D

[@Gottenhimfella]

@@lukaradakovic5463 I like your disc brake idea, myself. It would need to be carefully engineered not to disturb the rotary location when actuated. This would allow the motor to be optimised for horsepower rather than holding force. I wonder if an encoder could be used to enhance positional accuracy?

[@Gottenhimfella]

​@@williamchamberlain2263 That's going back a long long way. From about WW2 era, acetates were used. Live recordings could be (and in boutique studios, for maximum fidelity, still are) mixed straight to a recording lathe, on which a master disc was cut. Also known as an acetate, but it was basically a layer of special lacquer on an aluminium base. More usually, the mix would be captured on magnetic tape, possibly multi-track, allowing subsequent tweaks. This could then be output as analogue signal to the toolpost of a lathe, cut to an "acetate", which was plated with metal, then used to make negative metal molds or "stamper", which in turn would stamp vinyl copies in large quantities. The acetate itself could be played (with very high fidelity) on a standard turntable, tone arm and stylus, but would not last long.

[@TC-lq4dm]

Connecting the motor shaft without a flexible cupling will cause the motor bearings to prematureley die because they will never be perfectly aligned to the bigger bearings and will get "directed" by them, eaven more so because its spinning very fast, you should realy implement a coupling before the expensive motor dies

[@noallegiances8676]

spot on, having been working with shafts and motors for almost a decade no doubt that motor bearings wont last long without a flex coupling...

Yes true for "lathe" ops. However, a flexible coupling would not be ideal when completing indexing ops as this would reduce the rigidity between the brake (motor holding position) and the part.

Long term, I'd suggest moving to a 1kW servo motor. You can buy some chinese ones with high resolution encoders and drives for about the same as the selling points for one of those Servos.

@@axiom1650, I think you may be correct but how can you fix that for any feature in any orientation (other than the 200 full step positions) .

[@axiom1650]

@@hirsutusi5536 Perhaps by allowing some adjustment in the motor mount to align the steps with the 90° orientations would be a fairly easy fix for square parts, or maybe by not using direct drive (geared down 5:1 for example). In any case it'd be difficult to create a gear with current setup, even though this CNC is probably one of the best homemade ones on youtube. This motor could work well if trading some of the top speed for torque.

@@DUIofPhysics That wiggle is indeed a lot more than 1.8 degrees, also a lot "softer". With regular stepper motors the hold is much tighter and if you overpower the motor it snaps to the next position or the driver goes into over current mode (atleast my cheap ones).

26:06 Hmmm... Could maybe add some kind of friction break that engages after the turn but before the milling starts.

[@bermchasin]

i was thinking the same thing. A clamp or something that disengages before any lathe spin command

[@MaxMakerChannel]

2:00 broke my heart!

[@SwiftlyGuyver_]

That's freaking amazing! I'm a cnc lathe machinist and to see both of those work is awesome! I've been diving into live tool programming for yesr and a half now for c-axis and it's a lot of fun! Btw awesome job with the setup. Hoping to play around with that stuff in the future.

[@maniacal_engineer]

AHHH, now I understand - first you have to hone your hand on the diamond hone to be able to cut the 1" CRS - THAT is what I have been missing!!! This changes everything - now I can make everything I ever dreamed.

[@jackburton8947]

Ah, electrical tape will always be the perfect shop bandaid.

[@makinwaves8147]

Jack Burton so long as there isn’t superglue handy somewhere.

[@masterofnone]

Link to your clones channel please .

[@chadoftoons]

Im interessted aswell. Is he the more woodworking kind or does he just do more hand work?

[@devjock]

Probably secretly oxtoolco. More space, more machines, more handfiling, more sexy optical metrology. Equal amount of talking, equal amount of knowledge, similar video setup, similar hairline?

[@jamesbuchanan6456]

Love the Spinal Tap reference!

[@TERRYB0688]

Hi Old Tony this is Old Terry here, relatively new to Metal working, wood has always been my medium of choice, have a mini lathe which I have made many mods to and now milling with various attachments, like your channel and have just subscribed, good sound - good explanation and a bit of banter thrown in for good measure , more power to you Tony 👍oh by the way I'm in Scotland

[@ThisOldTony]

welcome aboard Terry!

[@Stealth5280]

Hey this old tony love your videos i learn so much from you from your machinining to welding i work in a machine shop where i do pretty much everything and just had to let you know how good your videos are and got all the guys here watching you

[@garyknight8616]

British suntan! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Greetings from rainy uk.

[@tjunerrs7596]

I like you,I like how you explain stuff,I like your sense of humor I....I subscribe thank you very much for the content :)

[@reforzar]

I karate chopped some 1”crs and broke my hand. Thanks this old Tony.

[@jostouw4366]

Did you forget to sharpen your hand?

[@vincentguttmann2231]

You have to start learning this at a very young age to know the perfect technique. Also, carbide cereal helps a lot in my experience. Finally a good purpose for those crunchy broken end mills

[@fibranijevidra]

This video should be X rated. :) Content, Edditing, naration. All, top notch. Love it.

[@CitroenDS23]

I learn at least 3 new things every time and enjoy the editing. Soon I'll be a machinist and a video editor. Thanks Old Tony!

[@towtruckaj]

Lmao this guy is living the dream "I need this part... I'll make it" "I need this tool to make this part... I'll just make it"
