Machining CUSTOM Brass Screws on the Tornos

[@robindriscoll]

Hey John. Don't forget to try the microscope adapter I sent you for your microscope filming. We are having a blast using it in our shop. If you need anything modified, let me know.

[@aserta]

I really like what they've done with this machine. It might appear to be intimidating at first (and i'm not saying it isn't for some, to each their own), but down right to basics, it's a very intuitive machine. I've no doubt that once you guys get cozy with it, you'll be churning high-spec parts like breathing air. Here's to many Tornos happy days!

[@Hirudin]

So shiny and perfect! 16:41 - Revel in the vindication! I would too.

[@Panzax1]

Which parts are you going to make on the nakamura now ? It seems all your round parts will fit in the tornos.

[@coleprivett4651]

Love watching your videos especially being a machinist myself.

[@fakerfake1]

Wow that's great! I'd love to see more of that high frequency spindle in action, especially on the titanium!

[@tomrevere9091]

Something to try, Instead of using something like *O0001 (NORESMAN SCREW MAIN)* try ** You can only use 25 characters, and no spaces but its easier to read in the program directory. I don't know about tornos, but it works on my Swistek RB20 Y-2, I believe its got the same control.

[@homemadetools]

Sweet!

[@silvergoldking]

Enjoy all your videos. And you are getting very good with the new cnc. I can't wait until the next video "Titanium " for the dream boys for the dream. Thanks for sharing. When is the next random drawing?

[@jacobfalk4827]

You can grab those threads without damaging them? Is the sub-spindle a smooth jaw or serrated to grab those threads?

[@Raptorman0909]

Why not use a Torx broaching tool?

[@robindriscoll]

You can pop the microscope lens part off the adapter to do general filming with your phone and then pop it back on to use the microscope. I hope you don't mind my reminding you. I love your new lathe!

[@Thefreakyfreek]

i used to operate a simular macine same controller but so much fun but all the errors you need to evade

[@rfengr00]

Do can you turn the oil on with the safety bypass?

[@helicopterjohns]

Hi John, Beautiful and amazing! You have the magic touch. Listening and learning to become a really SMART guy! John

[@mattinkel7342]

That thing is wild... just the way the axis are set up with front and rear tools.. kinda intimidating stuff!

[@Raptorman0909]

It's easy to over-think the rotation but you have to figure that Tornos would know to reverse the motor when you change to the next tool. It would not make sense that the program would be written backwards to account for the reversing direction. But, it is useful to stumble through this -- in the end you have a better understanding of how it works.

[@michaelkowalski3745]

I’ve been really interested in brass as a metal, but don’t you need to coat the brass to prevent it from oxidizing/tarnishing? What finish process do you use, are you spraying them after machining or just installing them as raw brass? Appreciate any insight, Thanks!

[@keithlane4343]

This is a cool video showing machining a Torqs screw drive. What is the smallest you've machined? We usually broach, especially in brass. Good video.

[@johnalexander2349]

How do you cut a T9 with a 20 thou endmill? The dodgy copies of ISO 10664 that I see on the internet say that Re (max) for T10 is 0.231mm (0.462mm diameter).

[@henrikforsberg683]

How do u draw those torx pockets? Is there drawings of the different sizes to download somewhere, or how does it work? 🤔

[@xenonram]

Ok those high speed spindles that are daisy chained, you said they interface with gears and each is driven by the one before it. So they change rotation direction as you too down the line. Do you run left handed tools in the ones that spin counterclockwise, or do you reverse the direction depending on which spindle block you're using?

[@agmadsag]

Andrew Delashaw If you watched the ending you would have the answer. The machine always turns the spindle the ‘correct’ way by default, it knows that spindle X requires the motor to turn ‘backwards’.

[@alexk4709]

I like how at 0:24 it says 00000 N0000 but looks like OOOOH NOOOO lol

[@mattinkel7342]

I spotted that too!

[@OriginalJetForMe]

Power is power, whether provided by air or electricity ;)

[@CygnusRising]

That's a pretty fancy DMG USB stick, but why not milled titanium Grimsmo logo'd USB sticks for the machines?

[@ToddSandercock]

No networking on your machines?

[@natedawg003]

You've probably answered this before, but why are you milling the Torx and not rotary broaching it?

[@bcrx7]

I think John explained it a couple of videos ago. It's because of perfection! The rotary broaching needs a hole first which causes the bottom not to be flat and it also doesn't look at nice. That's what I remember.

[@BZT-1]

HA you use visual studio code for g-code! NIIIIIICE.

[@mrx__678]

Swissfrench? 😊

[@Anonymouspock]

That's interesting that the CNC lathes operate like they are manual machines with direct read dials.

[@franciscoanconia2334]

yeah...that whole x = x/2 thing is always tricky.

[@dieterdumpfbacke7030]

dope👌🏼

[@MaxEkman]

Maybe you know already, but ctrl-/ will comment out the currently selected lines in VSCode, using the comment style of the language in use (parentheses for Gcode). Could save you some minutes when trying out sections of your code. I use VSCode all day as a software engineer. Cheers from Sweden! 😉

[@nutsmcflurry3737]

In this episode, the CNC mill guy discovered that his repertoire of machining, was lacking time spent on a lathe. Those are going to be lovely screws.

[@minibigs5259]

Oooooh, the stock moves?!?!

[@Spirit532]

"(end john)" is a very worrying comment! Either your CAM post setup is trying to start a machine uprising, or someone is plotting against you ;)

[@davidjereb]

Haha, as a programmer, it took me a moment to figure out what you were saying. Professional deformation in full effect. :)

[@BZT-1]

(END JOHN).. hahaha.

[@jimsvideos7201]

I can't afford a knife, but if you want to make similar screws about 10-32 or so they'd make terrific cufflinks.

[@Kevin-tf4fl]

0:47 when I click Massage 😂😂😂

[@mannycalavera121]

Its doglegging, need use smoothing. Check your manual for accuracy settings and the gcode to activate it. Also search nano smoothing for that control

[@mannycalavera121]

With your accuracy setting on you could rapid the machine and hold positional tolerance

[@aserta]

Instead of the bucket, why don't you 3D print a new assembly for that part that's screwed in that holds one of those aluminium/aluminum tubes you get with effervescent vitamins? So it's like a C section with a hole in the bottom where you slide the tube to fit on the lip from the top. If you add a smidge of cotton on the bottom, it will also protect the parts. Small, compact, easy to move about.

[@michaelgimbel4418]

High RPM air spindles are LOUD - you’d know for sure if it was air

[@Thewaldo12345]

Who’s Zed? Zed’s dead.

[@WTLgrinda1]

Hey John, if you need help with french you can just message me. I'm a neighbour from the east. Ca me ferais plaisir de te donner un coup de main ;)

[@eformance]

Swiss French == Swench?

[@kristiangjerstorff8212]

Make a special screwdriver, and replace the torx in the head with your logo... ;)

[@rojadoja]

Kristian Gjerstorff I hope he sees this. Great idea

[@hellohun7331]

A million dollars plus worth of machinery to make precision folding knives. Merica, you gotta love it. People got to collect something with their extra money.

[@tomrevere9091]

hello hun I believe you mean ‘Cunadia

[@hellohun7331]

Tom Revere my guess is, most of his expensive knives are sold to Americans. I didn't know he was from Cunadia.

[@andrewanderson1830]

Wouldn't that be awesome if you made a custom tool to fit your custom screws? So that it fit so PERFECTLY it would satisfy the brain and feel sensors?

[@jimboknife7272]

TBH trying to do back features with a cutoff tool and be a shit show. Back turning those features is the best best.

Look at me i have a swiss lathe...look loook its a tornos.
