Part 2 Kingsbury Michelle Aerodynamic Bearing Collaboration

[@HH-Machining]

It was nice to see that makino running, what a nice machine :)

[@timothyprochilo4840]

Love the vid frequency Tom. Thank you for your time sir.😎

[@danielepatane3841]

I like your definition of accuracy, precision and resolution

[@MatthewRulla]

Thanks for all the great content over the years and a special THANK YOU from the SCHSM club! You are one cool cat.

[@Skrallslim]

When I got to the end I thought just 5 min.. you captivate my mind in a good way Tom as always.

[@Tubecraft1]

You have a really nice way of explaining everything. I’m something of a basic level engineer but seeing you work I’m learning a ton. The no crappy music quiet steady methodical delivery good sound levels and spotless shop are inspiring. Makes me think I might actually be able to make something on my colchester after all

[@be3373]

You know the content is good when you hit the “like” BEFORE you watch the video 😁 Thanks Tom!

[@FesixGermany]

Big CNC making some nice chips, love the sound of the shearhog and facemills in general.

[@SuperAWaC]

Letting those older cnc mills putter along is positively relaxing compared to modern stuff that feed faster than old machines rapid. Can break out a lawn chair, have a nice arnold palmer and set up a beach umbrella to fend off the occasional chip and coolant shower.

[@hyd119]

Hey Tom. I really learn a lot of things from your channel. I find that you are like AvE in that you are so chock full of the knowledge of your trade and of things in general, that even the little tidbits of information are well worth it. In the future, please don't shy away from going into more detail on the things that can be more complex or be dependent on one or more variables. I like learning things like that. I know it's not the best for viewership, but I love coming to this platform to connect and learn.

[@johneslaughter]

Nice video and I really liked the quote at the end. Made my day.

[@d.jeffdionne]

Ok, gotta like that Makino. Perfect prototyping or short production run machine.

[@jackdelancey248]

Nice work, look forward to the rest.👍

[@billdlv]

Nice job Tom. That Makino looks like a nice machine and perfect for your shop.

[@yeliab814]

I’ve been following this since discovering this project on Steve’s channel. Great video Tom and thanks for the great footage and commentary of the machining process. I’ve watched CNC videos with no commentary from Chinese machine shops, but learned much more here. Thanks !

[@mortezarahimi6784]

Hello Mr Lipton As i mentioned earlier in ThisOldTony's Channel, now i am downloading almost all of your videos to watch. first of all, last night i watched the first video from your videos and i can tell that i just learned a TON from just that one video alone. I am machining enthusiast and who knows maybe some day i can buy my own lathe and mill and start my own business. i have watched most of the Content of "CNC NYC" ،"ThisOldTony" and "Suburban tool" channels and now i have started watching your content instead of watching TV! After finishing your channel's videos maybe one or two month later i will come back and write a review for all four channels if you are interested. by the way Thank you all for sharing your Knowledge with people like me and if its possible, please do some Fundamental series on for example "GD&T and how to do inspection in the right way" and, please use a better naming convention for your videos. "meatloaf number N" is somehow ambiguous and i am sure if you use better names for your videos, search engines will find them much easier and your view count and likes will go Sky High!! (and someone like me definitely will find them much easier!) Again. thanks Mr. Lipton for sharing These valuable knowledge! God Bless you and Helping people. Best Regards, Morteza Rahimi

[@nipz8053]

Slayes aluminum, now you have my attention.

[@wheelieking71]

First oxtoolco video where I didn't learn anything! LOL! I always learn stuff when you are at a manual. But, me having a shop full of CNC's, this is the first time I felt really smart watching one of your vids, HAHA

[@christurley391]

Thanks for the video Tom.

[@leewilliamson3424]

I worked at your location when I was 16 years old 1980's LLNL Livermore born and raised I hope I can meet you someday keep up the good work.

[@mattcurry29]

I like the CNC program side Tom! keep them coming. Matt C.

[@samrodian919]

Impressive machine Tom nicely finished part.

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Nice work Mr. Lipton...

[@jcims]

At the end I was wondering why he didn't deburr the outer edge, then the lathe stopped and I though 'ohhh..' I totally would have experienced interrupted deburring hahaha.

[@artmckay6704]

I love this kind of project. I had a thought about a relatively rigid air bearing spindle for a lathe with a large through spindle bore. Make a metal cylinder with, say, a ten inch bore and maybe a 3 foot length. At both ends weld perpendicular plates that are maybe 24 inches in diameter. Weld cylindrical flanges to the rim of the round plates. The flanges would extend about a foot in both directions. Now, the main cylinder would be supported by air bearings but it wouldn't have any resistance to lateral movement. It would easily slide in and out. On the periphery of the round discs, and just below the flanges, you'd have air bearings on both sides. These bearings would prevent the main shaft from sliding forwards and backwards. Additionally, since they're mounted a fair distance from the shaft axis, you'd get some serious lever effect action. They'd be very resistant to lateral movement of the shaft. Now to the flanges, the cylindrical flanges would also have air bearings on both the inside and outside surfaces, thus adding to vertical stability, and, due to their distance from the shaft axis, you again get benefit from the strength of the lever effect acting upon the central shaft. It'd be a physically big machine but it'd be very stable and it'd be very accurate. What do you think? What's your opinion of this spindle idea? Thanks for everything you share and for the huge amount of time you put into your videos! Much appreciated! :)

[@eformance]

I have Shear Hog scars on my neck, I learned that welding curtains are good to have when you let a Shear Hog loose at full tilt boogie in a semi-open enclosure.

[@yawpaw9796]

Its like offset... But youll never notice. ITS LIKE AN INCH OFFCENTER!!! Youll never notice....

[@krazziee2000]

very nice..

[@xaytana]

The base would be fairly easy to do with a rotary table with a dividing attachment. This would actually be a fairly good practice project for anyone who doesn't have experience with rotary tables.

[@zachwolf5122]

I’ve been looking forward to this 😎

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Thanks for sharing !!!

[@chronokoks]

Might sound like exaggerating, but you're cutting more aggresively than 80% of youtube CNC folks :D I like it! :D

[@MRCNC1967]

Tom, I do this for a living and it never gets old. And agreed, do as much deburring on the machine. Seems counter intuitive but it saves time in the long run, with consistent, professional results every time. Last, what kind of coolant do you use? Any oil skimming to keep clean? That would be a cool (no pun intended) topic to touch on for the uninitiated.

[@bobvines00]

And, does Tom need any "bug-killer" additives in the coolant?

[@devdhamija7585]

Subscribed today.

[@cameronwebster6866]

I have no need for one of these, but I want one.

[@EngineeringSpareTime]

Nice to see some CNC Mill work on your channel - are you planning to do a small series of parts? This drill bit looked smaller then it was. I could not even fit this in my CNC :D

[@HrDernacht]

Very much liking the project! Just wondering who Michelle is and why she is nowhere to be seen in the video? 😄🙃😉

[@Saki630]

damn that bit was destroying the Aluminum. Is there any way to make that even faster or more frightening? Or will any faster+larger cuts just melt the aluminum and ruin the finish?

[@paulmace7910]

If it wasn’t for that lug the whole thing could have been a manual lathe/mill project. Love the CNC work though. Interesting machine.

[@aserta]

7:16 Jesus, you weren't kidding. It basically spits out that aluminium. I imagine it's even better with spec coolant. Oh, i'm so getting me one of those.

[@MF175mp]

I think that's still conservative on aluminum

[@WilksGRendai]

Excellent video as always Mr. Lipton! The 1 dislike on this vid must be someone with a broken screen or severely cross-eyed or somethin'...

[@HorochovPL]

16:28 Nice chuckception! Far easier than fully swapping the chucks, isn't it?

[@RasmusHuusom]

I really like that makino, it reminds me of older deckel style machines, but I think your Z axis sounds a bit rough.

[@Pow3llMorgan]

I was briefly on another tab when it did the hole in the lug, and I legit thought it was a dog barking in the background!

[@JesusvonNazaret]

2:30 Tom is attempting to blank out swear words in his videos

[@fastindy]

Hi Tom! If I might ask, what features of the Orange Vise drove you in that direction over something more conventional like a Kurt Precision? This is the first I've seen of those vises.

[@irfanashraf1238]

Today I am the first viewer, boy what’s an honour

[@petes7185]

Hi Tom, I'm new to machining and know nothing about G-code. I noticed you did a lot of climb milling with the three-flute end mill. Does that make a difference on the CNC ?

[@johnsizemore367]

what are you using for mql? Great vid!!

[@Alexander_Sannikov]

why did you machine it so far off center?

[@brand-x7049]

How long are you going to wait on telling us about this wondrous new-to-you toy you're showing off?

[@ehamster]

I second that, I know you have briefly talked about the Makino before but would appreciate a more detailed dedicated video. It’s got me looking at KE55 auctions!

[@TexDrinkwater]

Been wondering about that myself.

[@bcbloc02]

Would have been far more material efficient to have just made it round then screwed in a lug but we all know people like billet goodness. 😎

[@lennywintfeld924]

Just about everyone, machinist or not is using aerodynamic "bearings" every day. Hard disk heads fly just above the surface of the platter using aerodynamic principles. As the platter speed increases, the head flies closer, but the force keeping it from crashing increases too. A "virtuous cycle".

[@dtec30]

Make a ring and add say 3 short length guide nozzles for the coolant

[@benjaminshropshire2900]

While watching CNC work like this I find my self having to sit hard on the perfectionist in me: yeah there is a lot of wasted movements, but if you are only making 2-3 parts then it would take longer to get rid of them than they add up to. But that got me thinking; is there such a thing as competitive CNC programming? "Here is the blueprints with full GDT, there is the set of bits in the tool changer. You have 4 hours to hand over a G-code program that needs to make a good part on the first run. Fastest cycle time wins. Go."

[@mrjacob8836]

That game sounds fun. Although I think they already call that "Running a job shop" :)

[@ritaloy8338]

I Get another episode of Ox Tools.

[@Zappyguy111]

So that's why you had a chuck in a chuck in your meatloaf.

[@DRrandomman22]

i am guessing since there is no tool changer you can use bt40 as well as cat40?

[@RambozoClown]

Probably NMTB 40 as well, as long as you have the right pull stud.

[@DRrandomman22]

@@RambozoClown i think if it can take nmtb40 it can take cat/bt40 but not the other way around because of the draw bar situation. I asked be 2nd hand bt40 tooling is much cheaper here in the state then cat40 because everyone uses cat40 but bt40 went to the way side in the state. So when the tools pop up nobody buys them.

[@RambozoClown]

@@DRrandomman22 Since his machine uses a pull stud instead of a drawbar you can mix and match, you just need to have pull studs with the right thread. I have the same thing in 30 taper and have a mix of ISO, NMTB, CAT, BT, Erickson, etc. The versatility is great, but I would gladly lose that to have a tool changer. (besides me) ;)

[@dominiklukacs7677]

7:20 isn’t that 10 fpm? 100 seems a bit too much :D

[@janvanruth3485]

i would have stuck to the ball bearings, just a drop of superglue....

[@w0lfm4n8]

Cnc guy says, coolant goes on the tool

[@Double_Vision]

Was that a cheeky little fart at 11:30?!

[@Bollerkotze]

how is it possible, that you can make money with this extreme slow machine?

[@highpwr]

@Josh Myer - Nice catch.

[@MegaRich7]

I’m of the opinion that Aluminium geometry inserts are the worst thing ever for machining aluminium. For CNC machining purposes, the chip formation is not great. However, for machining plastics they are good.

[@curtisvonepp4335]

Tom .This Collaboration GIZMO how many viewers use this tool on a regular basis?.Compared to a FACE DRIVER with your expertise Tom due a video on FACE DRIVERS . 😼 .

[@abebarker]

I saw this video of an air bearing pop up in my recommend videos. I thought it was a rather unique application for an air bearing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIi0i4GOerCel7c
