Machining a Small Aluminum Part on Tormach 440! Widget97

[@leoblazer74]

On the next NYCNC, tune in as we make a bong.

[@specialks1953]

It would have been more appropriate it that had been a Tormach "420" instead of a 440. :)

[@eformance]

What does a milling machine need with Torch Height Compensation? That would truly be a multi-purpose machine! :-)

[@mikaeljensen7057]

lol =)

[@chadkrause6574]

Is that.... a grinder for "tobacco"?

[@JustinAlexanderBell]

wacky tobacky

[@MaDeuce80]

It screams 420

[@nickolaguez]

The Devils lettuce Satan's shrub!

[@jodyolivent8481]

Beautiful surface finish. Between that and the LED lighting I could hardly see the part details on video until you got the part away from the machine. Your confidence with the tool paths, speeds, and feeds are contagious.

[@TheRcbthree]

A "younger" customer, kids these days.

[@Metalheadmachine24]

Haaaaaaaahahaha I was thinking for ten minutes, "is that a...? That couldn't be a..." and right then he's like this is for a younger customer for grinding herbs. Priceless. Freaking, priceless.

[@miamimovies]

At 6:30 I glanced up and thought "oh thats nice, looks like some kind of radio waveguide WAIT A MINUTE, THAT'S....." P.S. - 440 throw chips erry day

[@kenwolfe6093]

Herbs of Any type. Now That's funny!

[@RooMan93]

440 blaze it

[@WildmanTech]

I love watching that thing work!

[@lineage13]

I found that latex gloves saved me from the nightmares of small aluminum & steel pricks!

[@Regalmetalworks]

The 440 really did leave a nice finish! Those edges are sharp!

[@DieselRamcharger]

Sure its not a 420? ;)

[@kiraigabriel264]

Hello ! Can you send me the technical drawing to the grinder please ! 2D ??

[@whatmoughwedding]

Some great tips in this video. I like you showing the axial stock to leave. It is things like this that make machining an "Art"

[@VLAHECO]

I just want to say..wowwww... John I see how you work with your Tormach mill and lathe and woww.. they work very well and they are not so expensive machines like Mori or Okuma...I know the technology on Okumas and Moris but Tormach is awesome

[@Bigwingrider1800]

When i rough, i leave .002 - .005 for clean up. you will get cutter deflection witch will leave a hair more but the finish will be gorgeous...and its easer on the fin cutter( weather it be 3-d or 2-d still i only leave a very small amount)

[@1svsoulmate]

Should have called it a 420 Grinder!😜

[@charlesalberti563]

I'm just saying, if y'all made these I would for sure buy some, how well do you think they'd annodize?

[@agiantfrog]

I designed and made one a few days ago out of 304 stainless, and finished it today. what a coincidence

[@JayDee28]

Fusion's 2D pocketing tool path (not adaptive clearing) thought it was a good idea to mill a slot (today) and then run a 4 Fl FEM full speed into the end of that slot. The tool was pulled out, the stock is in the scrap drum now. Lesson learned: Even if Fusion does not give you a warning/error, take a critical close look on what this program comes up with.

[@uzkanda]

John, suggest for fusion folk to implement both way milling for 2D/3D adaptive. It's a huge time saver for slow rapid feed machines

[@Zeroartsound]

Could you please tell the how much aluminum or weight was used to make this product and cost thank you!

[@PowerSports]

I've watched a ton of your videos, but i haven't heard you talk about why you don't use a normal coolant/flushing system instead of that weird oil/air system. You seen to have chip buildup issues in a lot of your videos (hence the manual airgun). A flushing system would solve all those problems and give you a much better process. The big factories use flushing for a reason ;)

[@acy48]

I believe it is to make the videos watchable. a flushing system inhibits visibility.

[@jameslee522]

Where did you get those " Programmed with AutoDesk Fusion 360" decals?

[@spadgefox5286]

Lovely Grinder, Space Case quality machining!

[@shootgp]

What brand/type of coolant do you use for your mister?

[@gremlinsports]

does the 440 lack in rigidity I can see what look like facets around the inside diameter

[@commadore129]

Great job John! When you mentioned the RoboDrill I think they are best suited for 2nd op cnc work because the gcode limitation. Another mill say like a Haas muti axis setup could be far longer lines could be millions or more. But that's what they are built to do. Have you ever considered making cpu and gpu water block from deoxidized copper? That 440 would be awesome for that type of stuff and there is a massive market out there for cpu water / liquid cooling. I think you would be good at it.

[@commadore129]

No it's very much alive I've seen some people here on you tube that think any ting of spending 5000 on a gaming setup i'm actually in the middle of getting my mother board out of my main computer fixed that's why I though of it some time when I get my main rig setup you know, the one with solid works and Fushun 360 on it back up i'll try to skech you up something. basics is just a copper block with a spiral grove in it and a cap bolted on it's crazy simple. I would like to make them but my mill is screwed up the ways are not parallel so I cant trust it in 3 axis mode sigh lol. But like you said before I know you like to do cool stuff like that just like me lol. i'll do some research on it and see what it all takes i'm good at figuring out flow and thermal transfer stuff. I'm out of work right now shop went out of business and looking for any welding fab and machine work I can do lol just trying to help. Us machinist and tool makers got to work hard for what we get so if I can't do it I know someone who can you know what I mean. I'm 35 been working most of my life in tool and die job shop and welding and things are getting slow around here just trying to live lol.

[@sovereignspices]

sir, please explain how did you calculate DOC and WOC

[@Stephen1455]

I think I just bought one of those, immediately thought yes this is cnc!!!

[@blazemaestro1]

Thanks for another great vid. I was always curious how these were machined.

[@chillierdavro]

No drilling in the middle for a magnet to hold the lid to the base ... Tormach 420 LOL

[@mq1506]

You should up the non engagement feedrate on the adaptive toolpath.

[@mq1506]

+NYC CNC me too. Thanks for the video on templates. They are awesome.

[@bobrow21]

Is it fusion360? The tool? Tormach? Or all three?

[@automan1223]

what are you running fusion on ? it crashes from time to time on my 8.1 .. looks like a good program and economical too.

[@justinmoritz6543]

So is that 440 in your video room? Or on the shop floor?

[@thehollowbox]

When doing your speeds and feeds do you account for chip thinning? I have only been able to use it on one job with great efficiency but you might wanna look into it 2. It will speed up your tool paths.

[@thehollowbox]

Research. Im still trying to learn it myself but i have found this articular helped me out a lot. cmailco.wordpress.com/2010/08/12/hey-who-stole-my-chip-load/

[@jameslamb4573]

Mmmmmm....... only thing i can think of is that it is something to do with RF. I know this is a customer piece but could you let us know what the component is for?

[@dannymaciejewski]

U know they are gunna use it to chop up weed!! Lol

[@alexkern9134]

This cracks me up.

[@Max_Marz]

Holy shit lol, I was just looking at these videos after reconsidering the idea of getting a 440 to make... stainless grinders. I only realized what the heck I was watching when it finished the first tooth. Hilarious.

[@hatboy7877]

Cannabis Numerical Control...

[@celexalexandersson]

Make holes under it and your have a grinder for Parmesan :)

[@zachary7042]

What do you mean when you say soft jaws are they just made of really soft metal I'm a woodworker btw

[@veganzombe]

so like with woodwork if you dont want to scratch up your work you would put a cheap piece of pine or a cloth in the jaws of your clamp so the clamp is softer than your work piece. In metal work you would want a softer metal like aluminum jaws to hold a harder metal like steel.

[@atomkinder67]

3° helix would've gotten down there faster, and don't forget the entry angle! even a half a degree evacuates chips super well. Used it earlier today even.

[@atomkinder67]

Oh and your 2D Contour ISN'T looking at the solid model! It's looking at the other contours you've selected and not violating those! Don't be fooled, it's not that smart ;-)

[@user990077]

I've seen versions of this used to mince garlic...

[@bluehornet6752]

Think of the math that Fusion 360 has to work out to generate the tool paths for the adaptive clearing ops!

[@bluehornet6752]

Were you you worried about those error and warning symbols there at the end John? There were quite a few error icons from your template, but I didn't see an actual error message associated with them. There was also a warning icon at 14:00, in the "Setup 1" operation. I'm used to Solidworks errors and warnings, so these Fusion 360 things throw me a bit yet. Now that SW 2018 has CAMWorks built-in, is it worth still going to Fusion 360 for tool paths from a SW part?

[@occamssawzall3486]

Not much of change here. Looks good I think I would have finished the floor up with a horizontal path. Left 3-5 thou on floor with the adaptive and cleaned up the tool mark pattern using the horizontal. However. I don't believe you finished the outer perimeter of that pocket... There was a finish pas around all the little stand offs, but none around the ID of the pocket it's self.

[@occamssawzall3486]

Weird thing is, it's shown in the F360 verify later. But not on the the part machining portion. I wonder if your lead in error you were getting caused it to not post that portion of the tool path. Or maybe it's early and I'm blind and I missed it.

[@occamssawzall3486]

+NYC CNC Maybe it's an optical illusion. But I swear I can still see the vertical facet lines left over from the adaptive @ 9:30 when you're showing the part off under the light and they look the same on the wall as they did back @ the 6:00 mark... The adaptive's step over is small enough that the lead in arcs could have cleaned up that wall pretty well. I'm assuming you measured it and it measured right. So it must have cut that wall. Maybe not enough stock left on to clean up the gouges from tool deflection during the adaptive. Left some some phantom lines. Just happened to catch a couple glints of it in the light and something looked off. Could just completely be me though XD

[@travisshrewsbury7169]

that's gotta be a grinder,good design though

[@masonkubecka9163]

I thought you said you had a bunch of trouble with fusion on this part

[@masonkubecka9163]

Or was that different part

[@somevideos8379]

9:30 ha

[@charging_station2]

Its simply weed grinder

[@slayer646464]

make a hydraulic pump. gears and all.

[@slayer646464]

yea! cut some circles, cut some ports, make a couple gears, turn it and move oil.

[@bc7495]

Bud buster lol wicked i knew they had to be cnc mmade that's why they're so expensive cuz yeah anyway smokin weed lol

[@RubSomefastOnIt]

looking forward the day when real machines are run via PC input as a standard... the proprietary controllers need to go, just seems like a way to suck blood at this point...

[@Patch075]

So no more guns, but drug paraphernalia is ok? Cool project anyways. Every kid in shop class is gonna want one

[@workshop_from_nothing]

chop buds

[@Trumplican]

well.... i was gonna comment on what that was but apperantly its pretty obvious lol.... 4:20

[@Demicron]

looks like a weed grinder lol

[@lito11111940]

Was going to comment on the obvious but everyone seems to know lol

[@lito11111940]

NYC CNC It's work and am interesting cut. (y)

[@konobikundude]

i totally have a better design. these style ones get clogged up way way too easily. It's a simple change too.

[@123arduino]

konobikundude and what is this design change

[@spike7112ify]

it is screaming 420 not 440

[@cnc-ua]

The voice is a bit tired. Get a rest, John.

[@xenonram]

cncua You can sleep when you die. Keep on grinding. (

[@Warndog9]

Hmm, machined from 420 stainless? LOL

[@jondoesmith541]

haha... Weed grinder.

[@tdg911]

weed grinder lol

[@jdar1590]

LOL......

[@eddrm4685]

Your eyes look a little funny! Be careful that shit will fry your brain!

[@eddrm4685]

NYC CNC Yes it absolutely is...just a joke. :)

[@suneyman5]

please design a better herb grinder than this I know if you put the mind of an engineer to the task would come up with something far greater and I'm sick of these little f****** breaking all the time and they're so expensive.

[@suneyman5]

extremely understandable.

[@VLAHECO]

I just want to say..wowwww... John I see how you work with your Tormach mill and lathe and woww.. they work very well and they are not so expensive machines like Mori or Okuma...I know the technology on Okumas and Moris but Tormach is awesome
