SHOP UPDATE!

[@snakedike]

Glad to see other people setting up real mills in their shops. I put a 4020 in mine at the start of 07. Wife still hates it. I absolutely love it. There is a steep learning curve in your first few years. Enjoy the experience. But I would suggest making or buying a tool holder rack.

I've visited your channel a couple of times now, it was about time that I subscribed. I am looking forward to see that Fadal making chips!

[@bgwmachine]

Leopold71 new video will be out soon... like anything else as soon as you start making chips, fixtures, etc, things come up that you didn’t expect or plan for - stay tuned! 🤘🛠⚙️

@@bgwmachine looking forward to it!

I think I’ve offered before but I didn’t know you were in Georgia. Feel free to contact me if you need any help with the fadal or any other stuff. I’m in Gwinnett whereabouts are you?

[@TheMadMagician87]

Out of curiosity, where/how did you get your start in all this, professionally or did you just dive in as a hobbyist?

[@bgwmachine]

I started out in college with an internship at a manufacturing facility. Learned professionally how to program, create processes, design and build fixtures - all the “usual” stuff you do in manufacturing… during my internship I started my “shop” at home (3D printers, laser cutter, and diy CNC router). From there I got a full time engineering position and just kept learning and pursuing the never ending knowledge you gain from experience, different machines, and the older guys in the shop. Still going today and still lovin it!… Don’t know everything, but love to learn and spread the knowledge.

Just a quick observation are you sure that collet is seated correctly in that 3/4 endmill ?

[@bgwmachine]

Yep! I’m pretty sure it’s seated, but I’ll always check again before I setup tools. 🤘

[@ianagos4276]

Yea it does look weird. But could be you are using a bearing nut.

[@bgwmachine]
