Having worked on Ampco bronze for 10 years it's nice to see someone working with it. It's nasty, tough and the higher grades are hard to work with. HSS drills have to be altered to drill it and praying it doesn't freeze up in the part. Carbide tooling is preferred to work on it. Tapping is a nightmare. It has excellent wear properties for bearings and shaping metal parts.

Nice job Chris, ........ AKA what back in the day we used to call ;- A classy bit of gear.''

В ampco45 bronze Ni~5%, поэтому стружка вьётся и закручивается в клубок. Программно на CNC прерывайте подачу и стружка не будет скручиваться. Хотя учитывая ваш уровень профессионализма, вы и без меня это знаете :) Привет из Украины!

Another awesome job. Would love to see your tool change and touch off between tools. Mine take forever.

Being able to dial in a surface feet per minute and having it maintained must be great.

[@kevind1865]

You should try polished, high rake inserts for aluminum in aluminum bronze. I get 10 times the tool life compared to a negative rake insert made for steel, and you can take a .001" finish cut without the insert just rubbing and deflecting.

[@ChrisMaj]

Yeah, I might have to try it.

[@HM-Projects]

I end up trashing the parts because my high rake inserts catch in brass, does aluminium bronze behave differently ?

[@wendull811]

I found bronze is always a pain for that. Espically drilling a big hole. We usally lap the drill when drilling. I have never had a problem turning it but I also use negative rake inserts like he does.

[@kevind1865]

@@HM-Projects Completely different animal. Alu-br will catch with real sharp inserts if you try and feed it REALLY hard, but under normal conditions (up to .400"doc and .015"/rev) I haven't had any issues. Brass on the other hand, stick with negative inserts if you can, or if you have a positive holder like a DCMT, use inserts made for steel. They usually have enough of a k-land edge prep to stop the tool from grabbing. Drills for brass should have the cutting edge blunted with an oil stone to stop it from grabbing.

[@kevind1865]

@@wendull811 Keep in mind that aluminum bronze and normal 660 bearing bronze don't have much in common except "bronze" in the name. Alu-br will work harden if you look at it sideways, where are as brass/bearing bronze can be cut with a dull butter knife and it'll still break a chip. Good call on lapping the cutting edge on drills. It is VIOLENT when those suckers grab, especially if you have a pilot hole.

very good casting quality. please tell me, is it centrifugal casting, sand casting or chill casting?

[@ChrisMaj]

We don't do castings, but it looks like a sand casting. Permanent mold chill casting is better for high-production runs. Sand casting is lower cost in small batches.

[@localele1]

Nice. How do you measure your tool offsets on this lathe? Do you get sick of shimming tools up to height on that tool post?

[@ChrisMaj]

Take a test cut, measure it, enter the dimension into your offset. The height of the tool post is exactly 1.25". Most of my tools are 1.25" or 1". For boring bars I already know what shim to add.

[@localele1]

@@ChrisMaj So the same for grooving tools / threading tools or do you use a known block and slip it between the tip and the workpiece?

[@carstenlem6331]

Where would you buy such a boringbar (big diameter) today? Im on the search and im only finding anti-Vibration Tools over 50mm in dia. I want a 80mm bar, but not with anti vibration and yours looks like anything like that. Thanks you! Very nice machining Videos btw, i love to see your lathe work

Not the vtl, yet. On my lathe I had a small cover plate fly out. I've crashed and the tool pulled out the piece out of the chuck. Luckily it just fell out into the chip pan. Over the years I did have a few close calls.

[@mehmettemel8725]

As always another excellent job Chris.Just curious when you do a one off jobs or an expensive piece of material like the one in the video do you trust the machine to cut on tolerance as programmed or leave some material and measure prior to finishing?Even though my cnc lathe is nowhere near in size to yours I still need to do offset adjustments until I get it right.Doing small parts is no problem just throw away the first part if not in tolerance.

[@ChrisMaj]

If it's a tight tolerance I always take two cuts, same depth of cut and same feed.

[@semperfidelis8386]

this is an NC lathe, right? How do you run parts like this using NC? You're not writing a program to go from start to finish, right? You gotta rough...then measure...then finish cut...
