Making a ball in a box on a CNC mill

[@pixel_ppl2504]

I have a feeling that this video will blow up in a few years and get recommended to people randomly.

It’s from titans of cnc yt channel

In 1982 as a third year apprentice. I made a one inch square ball in a cage of aluminum on a elox edm sinker. It was published in the second edition of EDM digest. I got $20.00 lol.

Old fashioned brain power and imagination linked to a good 5 axis vmc through software. I thank you for the chance to watch it come together.

[@timerickson7056]

Many years ago I had a bad accident. I had a Long partial recovery. My right hand was paralyzed. I carved the ball and cage from a piece of broom handle using a Bowie knife and my left hand. To kinda fine tune my left hand to takeover as my dominant hand

[@bingosunnoon9341]

I had to make two of these as my final exam after my 3 year apprenticeship at MDonnell Aircraft in St. Louis. No CNC, just two rotary tables and a manual Bridgeport. The tables both had motors with stops set at beginning and end. Took forever. 125 finish required. There were no CNC machines. It was really good training. Too bad companies don't do this type of training anymore, except in places like China and Korea.

[@toddpick8007]

You think they do that training in China lol?

[@bingosunnoon9341]

@@toddpick8007 Yes. That is the only way to explain how they leapfrogged us in the machine arts.

[@toddpick8007]

@@bingosunnoon9341 They did lmfao...When...when did this "leap frog" occur. Ive worked in machining basically my whole life, my father was an engineer and i would run CNC's for him when i was 14. ive been to some of the largest most advanced machining companies and shows in Canada there is no way at all at any time did China leap frog the west in terms of machining arts. Chinese labour is barely above slave labour the "high tech" they do have is 3rd rate knockoff garbage built with inferior materials and tolerances or shit they just straight up stole from wester countries. Chinese manufacturing for the most part is manual its not automated theyre using conventional equipment not CNC its like US 1950's still i China.

[@roberto125919]

They just undercut the cost of business but long-term its bad strategy to value your peoples labor as nothing@@bingosunnoon9341

[@EricBrummer]

@@bingosunnoon9341 I don't know if I'd say they leapfrogged us. Companies prefer to send jobs there for cost savings. I'm not so nationalistic that I don't think China is incapable of making good parts (although many times corrupt places will try to get away with subpar materials and quality if they don't think they're going to get called on it, not that that is impossible elsewhere too.) But I don't know that they're better than the US in skill, however they may have more equipment/people capable of meeting certain levels of skill. there is still a lot of high quality high precision work being done in the states, it just isn't as obvious/common and all of the cheap stuff is done elsewhere.

My grandpa used to make wooden balls in a box with a Oldtimer, 1 homemade chisel and sandpaper.

A perfect example of an incredibly fantastic, wonderful, full of ideas, not needed by anyone work.... Oh, such a show - "look what I can do"...

[@dman0042]

When you can show this amount of skill in your knowledge of CAD/CAM/CNC then companies will pay you a lot of money for that. I would take that piece to any future interview as a testiment of my skill.

Where can I buy the finished item ?

[@1FISH]

You need to finish it yourself. This dude didn't square the corners or polish anything.

[@toddrees1]

Do you sell the ball in the box?

[@xWaRFliP]

Hello, can you give me the .step please ? Thanks

[@junhyuklee6226]

One thing. The water the machine produces will contain a lot of metal components inside. Does it recycles or just dumps away?

[@sanfranciscobay]

I believe it's an Oil that is filtered and reused, not water.

[@Ilona_Stefi]

[@lordskeletorde]

Gotta polish that ball until you can't see the different sections where it has been milled from different angles. If you polish it well enough you may even get rid of that horrible smiley.

[@souldreamer9056]

I’m curious. Why is it necessary for ball’s diameter to be so much shorter than the cube’s length? It looks like the diameter is only around 60% of the length. Couldn’t one make a bigger ball, eg with 90%, and waste less material in the process?

[@ipodtouchiscoollol]

theoretically possible but you would need a very thin and long cnc tool head to get the gap between the ball and frame as small as possible and the tool head will need many axis of movement to perfectly angle itself around to create a proper sphere. wire edm and SLS would be much more appropriate if minimum material wastage was the goal

[@ipodtouchiscoollol]

not to mention a thin and long tool head would be extremely fragile the machining time would be incredibly long and the machine itself would be way more complex than the one we see here and therefore much much more expensive

[@souldreamer9056]

@@ipodtouchiscoollol Thanks for letting me know. Fascinating stuff.

[@dman0042]

Who cares about wasting material on a 4 inch block of metal. This part is simply for fun and to show skill. Our machine shop literally dumps hundreds if not thousands of pounds of metal chips per week. It's not wasted. It's scrapped for money to be recycled.

[@dman0042]

Also when you use smaller tools and shorter steppvers on toolpaths the files sizes become incredibly large and some CNC just aren't made for that type of work. Hell my machine can't hold more than 1mb 😂

[@RANVEER751]

It's amazing ...
