Making a part for the 9 Cylinder Radial Engine

In this video, we draw up a part in Fusion 360 and machine it on the Tormach 1100M

You bet! Thanks for checking it out

If you are coming out undersize on an operation you can adjust that with the tool wear option on the mill program.

[@fourpondsshop7940]

Thanks Jack... I'll have to give that a try. I'm guessing the 1/4" endmill might be a little undersize because the larger hole made with a 3/8" endmill was spot on.

I see what you were dealing with on that dimension callout. All I can think of is looking at where that plate goes for a clue as to what it should be. Otherwise I would just get it close to the way it looks in the drawing. Which is what you did. Thanks for the video!

[@fourpondsshop7940]

Thanks Mike! It just seemed odd that no dimension was called out because it only leaves a visual off the drawing.

That Tormach is the bees knees. I enjoyed the beginning to end of project nature of this vid. Isn’t work holding nearly always a problem to be overcome? No wonder there are a zillion products to use for that. And another zillion home grown solutions.

Hi Glenn, yes, work holding and speeds/feeds are always the mystery of machining!!

Thanks!

This is good stuff. I was wondering if you can record in HD because I really love to see the details clearly. Also a question, when cutting out the part why did it mill out a larger squarish area, instead of just milling the border of the part? Looking forward to more.

[@fourpondsshop7940]

Hi Carl, Thanks for watching. So I did record in HD but I'm using power director for editing and it updated and I didn't realize that it defaulted to a lower resolution rendering. I didn't see that until I posted the video to youtube. Always learning I guess!! So it milled the part using 2d adaptve clearing which runs around the perimiter, up the the selected profile, taking a depth of cut that you specify in the set up. I did it this way because if you just run around the outside contour, the waste piece will break loose and most likely mess up the endmill or the part you are making.

@@fourpondsshop7940 Thanks. I'm really looking forward to more of your videos.
