Milling Of A Offset Spiral Part

This is just the machining of the part. If there is interest I will make a video explaining the thought/planning and execution of the setup. Let me know in the comments if that's of interest. Thanks!

[@ramanshah7627]

Amazing to see you back, Peter! Your videos always feel like a dip into science fiction, both in these huge complex parts I'll probably never see in real life, and in the mind-bending machining it takes to create them.

[@tymcclengineering8672]

Good to have you back. I have always learnt from your thought process and planning, So yes, I'm up for a video on the setup.

As a machinist myself and also an Esprit user, I’d love to learn more about tool path and machine setup. It would be helpful for me

[@EdgePrecision]

OK I think I will work on one. Thanks!

[@demandred1957]

yeah, seeing the feeds and speeds etc was really helpful too.@@EdgePrecision

[@Victor_Greene]

Your ability to think outside the box has always impressed me. As a machinist I am inspired by your approach. Keep it up 👍🏻

[@LukePickens]

Peter breaks the box

[@JoeBillyBobful]

It would be great to see a video about the planning that had to be done before the machining. Thanks.

[@jackjanovec4214]

I like to consider myself a good all around machinist and every video you make humbles me a bit. You’re truly a craftsman. Always a great watch

[@Mike-lt6sj]

Man, I'm so jealous of the work you do. You're a mastermind, and your work is insanely complex. You're repping Mazak quite nicely. If I were them, I would ship you out a brand new integrex to play with. Brilliant man you are.

[@rupunzel6299]

Simply excellent to see this cnc work done by Peter on that whopper Mazak.. No typical KZbin "content" fluff, just machinist excellence in too many ways.

[@DavidConstruction-un3uf]

Very exciting machining, as a Mazak man, I saw this video when I was about to go to the bathroom, then decided to watch it to the end! Guess what, the feeling for a dash to the bathroom is gone!!! Anything you are making on this Mazak is amazing.

[@kkahmann]

Always, always, always interested in seeing the thought/planning behind one of your parts!

[@turbocobra]

Good to see a video... Love seeing the Mazak run, but also appreciate hearing your thoughts, plans and narration

[@seraphim1833]

I’m a simple man. I see Pete upload a new video. I click. I watch. I learn…a lot. Thank you for sharing your skills with us. Merry Christmas!

[@MrDirkles]

To do these jobs as one offs is amazing! I used to run a manual Colchester triumph lathe back in the day and I've never encountered any as skilled as yourself.

[@joejoejoejoejoejoe4391]

I'm beneath you, I use a Colchester Student.

[@JeffBlack1968]

I really enjoy your videos. You are hands down the best machinist on and off KZbin. You make it look so easy the way you machine complex parts. It would be great so see a video explaining the thought/planning and execution of the setup. Thank you.

[@MrSolarstu]

You are a true artist Peter, I for one would love to see the thought process behind making such a complex part. Glad to see you back on youtube.

[@linkdude64]

WOW! I am a total noob to this space, relatively speaking, only having watched channels like ABOM (Also super awesome, just less CNC stuff) and I would NEVER think that you could have such a dramatically imbalanced piece of steel chucked up and do an interrupted cut like that!!! That's in-freakin-credible!!! Thank you so much for uploading!!!

[@Exypno]

Always makes my day when you post a new video. I've worked at a few workshops here in NZ but have never been exposed to this kind of tricky work, super interesting and impressive seeing how you machine parts like these.

[@bcrx7]

Good to see you back Peter! I am definitely interested in a video explaining the planning and execution of the setup!

[@Strothy2]

I recently got the opportunity to work on a DMG CTX 2000 TC, and I can't tell you how much I learned from your videos I could bring to bear on this machine; thank you for all your great insights and tips!

[@Verstore]

If I have one gift this season this will do just fine. Thank you Peter, you have been sorely missed

[@perrypark8485]

I sure appreciate your content, I always learn something , thank you.

[@stewartross1233]

I am a retired Instrument and Control Engineer with 40 years experience. This is not my bag but I love it. I cannot get enough of it, the attention to detail, the automation, the thought that must go into it, the custom work. But at the same time it scares me to death! This one not so bad but the jobs that have had previous work done and then come to you for finishing has me on the edge of my seat biting my nails, terrified the machine is going to do something wrong. As you get further into it you get closer to finishing it but at the same time if it goes wrong you've got more to lose. One wrong digit and it could be turned into scrap, the pressure 🙈 .

[@Horus9339]

So good to see you back Peter, a Merry Christmas and an Happy and Healthy New Year to you and yours Sir.

[@Zenobeus]

Fascinating stuff, it's like watching a magic trick, as the object takes shape.

[@theessexhunter1305]

Hope you are well Peter? Nice to see the most detailed machine work on the net. Merry xmas from the UK

[@Ujeb08]

very happy to see your back to this channel! what a great part to figure out and make. Would have loved to see you do a sped up, dry (air)cutting of the finished part to be able to follow. But then again, watching and wondering was like a kid on Christmas morning unwrapping a big present - imagination going wild. Thanks for the gift Peter and I hope you and yours have a merry Christmas !

[@yessodg]

i dont see how you could ever think we wouldnt want a video that explains the planning! good to see you back again, looking forward to the explanation and planning video :)

[@jesseleman469]

Thanks for the video Peter, I was looking forward to you posting. I have gone back to many of your videos throughout the past few years/since starting my own shop. I got Esprit this spring for a mill-turn I purchased, and that has honed me in even more on how knowledgeable you are. Amazing work 👍

[@christopherhorne8665]

Super impressive Peter. Your programming ability is impeccable.

[@kylejonesUB]

I'm a PM in manufacturing with limited machining knowledge- your videos help me understand the process better. Please do make a planning video!

[@IamCNC-1]

Incroyables machines. Impressionnant.. Most impressive manufacturing process I've seen. This is world class.

[@tehsimo]

You work on stuff with such unusual shapes, fascinating.

[@myronnisiewicz5448]

Love the video! As a machinist who makes fairly simple parts it is fun watching the masterpieces that you make! Keep up the awesome content!

[@smedoz]

What maniac dreamed up that part. So,cool,machining

[@leonelromero8349]

Happy to see your work again 💪🏾. I would like to see and learn about the strategies in CAM regarding this work. Greetings.

[@olevjorgensen]

You have been missed Sir. 👍

[@purerhodium]

Glad to see you back, hope you and your family are doing well. I'm definitely interested in a video on the setup, especially those set screws you were installing at the start. It looked like you were screwing a smaller set screw into the larger one, I'd like to know more about that bit. What was the material? EDIT: Now that I had a chance to play it back frame by frame on my laptop, I can see that the larger screws are dog point set screws and the smaller ones are socket head cap screws with the head OD turned down.

[@EdgePrecision]

I will describe that in more detail in the setup video. Thanks!

[@larryblount3358]

Please add more details on the set screw in a set screw! Fantastic to have you back. I always learn something new by watching your videos.

[@purerhodium]

@@EdgePrecision Looking forward to it!

[@Jraksdhs]

@@larryblount3358 i believe that is a way to lock the set screws in place.When you insert the smaller one and tighten it, its presses back on the larger one creating tension and therefore wont unthread.

[@wacomtexas]

I'd be interested to now how much the machining constrained the design, or if it was just thrown at you. (I'd also be quite interested to discover wtf it is!). Fascinating as always..

[@EdgePrecision]

I have no idea what this part does.

[@wacomtexas]

@@EdgePrecision We'd better ask the audience then.. :)

[@podfuk]

So fascinating, thank you Peter for the fantastic video!

[@TexDrinkwater]

I'm often impressed with the interesting tools the industry has you working on. This one has me completely baffled, though.

[@markcnc]

Definitely interested in whatever you want to put out there. Crazy machining going on there. Odd, I had just searched your channel for a new video just yesterday 👍

[@floodo1]

thx for showing this kind of machining. Also happens to be some beautiful shots in there between the camera angles and the shape of the part!

[@sovascarecrow]

Welcome back!!! Yes please do a video on this setup. I am particularly interested in the programing.

[@mackasack]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@dan3076]

yes...setup and planning is best part of your videos. Real world parts.

[@somebodyelse6673]

Peter posts stuff like this, and it's just Tuesday for him. Makes me wonder what he thinks was the most difficult part that he's made so far.

[@Curtislow2]

interesting setup of set screw in a set screw!

[@EdgePrecision]

I should have took a photo of the special set screws. There is a turned diameter that fits precisely in a bore in the hole to locate the part. Then the small screw keeps them from backing out during machining. They aren't used for holding the part to the fixture, just to locate it.

[@Curtislow2]

@@EdgePrecision Very interesting.

[@bcbloc02]

That looks perfect for your ice machine 😂

[@EdgePrecision]

You would think that the OD of those helix ribs would fit something. But their OD isn't round (It's hard to see). Then it's spit to fit over something (I didn't show cutting out the slug where the tabs are) and held to it with the 1/2-13 setscrews on the ends. So what it does?

[@maheshkatkar2006]
