Tool Company Makes IMPOSSIBLE Claim: Tool Can Break Any Chip

[@donniehinske]

I can not express enough how real this test was. I gotta give all the credit to Horn tools because this was hands down the easiest video I’ve made so far. Every material worked perfectly. Good work Ben on the edit!

So was this original livestreamed somewhere without editing? Because it's really weird to see someone talk about, "gosh, it would be awkward if this didn't work 'cause we're doing it live!" on a clearly edited video that wasn't livestreamed.

[@nickyvanmil]

This looks good! Are you able to test this with inconel 625? If it breaks the chips on that this tool is golden.

[@HarmonRAB-hp4nk]

metal run off is a simple thing metal worker just cut off with a pair of side cutters :-).... I think I get it when I read cnc... there not metal workers, there just machine operators so it would clue in to them.....us... were paid to just get it done no complaining.. got a problem ? think outside the box sorta thing...... were also paid more lol then a guy who just pushes button and twists nobs.. lol probably why they think run off is such a problem ( when in hindsight the machine has no problem with it) LOL

[@Zxavioure]

@@HarmonRAB-hp4nk hope all of that is wild sarcasm that flew way over my head. It’s a bit different when working in a precision machine shop. Tight tolerances and surface finishes are not only a product of good quality but an absolute must. If a finish doesn’t allow a part to function quite right or it has .0002 taper to the bore it could be catastrophic. Some of my parts hold pressures beyond belief. They are expected to run at 87KSI and are tested at almost 200KSI. (KSI is 1000 psi’s). So basically a bomb if it fails. Take pride in your work.

[@Jessie_Smith]

Stringy chips when finish turning is such a huge problem. Especially with these small boring bars. I've used them for years and always struggled with the chip. This tool finally having a chip breaker will be so revolutionary for so many applications, especially the medical industry! Great job Horn!!

[@HarmonRAB-hp4nk]

really? you dont just use a pair of side cutters to take it off?...... I'm sorry you consaider it such a problem, but metal worker's over here dont even care.. its waste... cut it, get rid of it... dont they pay you enough to something that simple?? wait are you a machine operater or a certified metal worker? gotta ask

[@Jessie_Smith]

@@HarmonRAB-hp4nk hate that I even will bother responding to such a comment. Anyone that is running production knows that it is incredibly dumb to stand there pulling chips. The whole point of production is so the operator doesn't have to manually intervene in the process. If that's what you think makes you a skilled metal worker then you obviously aren't one.

[@TripleBarbacoa]

@HarmonRAB-hp4nk thanks for concisely illustrating the difference between an operator vs someone who has an actual understanding of the production process. Gotta love it when glorified grease monkeys start talking about stuff they aren’t remotely qualified to speak on.

[@precisionrp]

Been fighting stringy chips on 17-4 for years. Grat video!

[@FATxAZZxGONExCRAZZZY]

Horn's got that machinist black magic going, been using their tools for also all sorts of boring and grooving operations for years and they just work. Which is a huge endorsement in this trade.

[@gags730]

I'm trying to figure out how just a coating and not the geometry breaks the chip. Would like to see what happens if he slows it down some. This 'black magic' could be a game changer for small/ mini lathes.

[@ScuffedEngineer]

@@gags730 You have it backwards. The new geometry is breaking the chip, the new US coating is for tool life.

[@gags730]

@@ScuffedEngineer That is what I thought at first... With the first tool yes even the geometry is different but he says its the coating, Go to 8:47 and watch for like 45 seconds.... its the same geometry, just a different coating. So its the coating he even does a test same tool different coating....

[@donniehinske]

@@gags730 watch everything before 8:47. That should help

[@ScuffedEngineer]

@@gags730 Maybe we're interpreting words differently. I think the new coating did worse for the given material, speed, feed and DOC. That being said, how can coatings affect performance is a can of worms. It could be how the coating is applied. Changes in thickness, thus how sharp the tool in the end is. One vs the other causes more or less friction (do FEA with everything being the same, but change friction values, you'll see the difference in chip formation). Etc.

[@donatonotaro]

I have hardly seen, if ever, a tool so efficient in breaking down chips… amazing, thanks for sharing Donnie

[@MrMojolinux]

As an ole timer and manual machinist without any of these new fangled digitally engineered tooling, the one thing I learned the hard way was: Always remove chips stringy or otherwise on the lathe and especially in the chip pan BEFORE you take your last finish cut! Thus ensuring you don't ruin your final pass and part by having all those stringy chips on the lathe and in the pan grab and come flinging out at you in one huge ball of confusion!

Great video, Donnie! Pliers are your best friend when it comes to removing loose, stringy chips. The most innocent looking chips are usually razor sharp. I wish I could test run Horn’s new boring bars myself!

[@HornUSAinc]

You're right. We should have known that once Donnie got his hands on these he wasn't going to share.

[@gamerpaddy]

the faster you bend material the more it tends to snap on its own. at the same speed, a small ramp indentation behind the cutting tip causes the material to bend in a tight radius much more quickly that it shreds it self apart (thats why the few chips that didnt break are curled tighter than with the old tool) thats also why higher rpm also causes chips to break. thin material resists bending quicker than thick material can, so more feed and thicker chips would do the same, if the tool allows it.

[@nathann-mfgen]

I've still got scars from grabbing chips like that with my bare hands...get that man a pair of needle-nose pliers! Really though, awesome tool and awesome demo, keep it up!

Awesome on metals but I’d love to see the same test running PVC. ABS, delrin , nylon and others. We do close to 80% engineered plastics. Milling is no problem but turning. Holy shit! Talk about your bird nest. Granted you can program a pecking cycle that will break but still not nearly enough. I myself do some manual lathe work and absolutely hate having to get rid of the long stringy chip bird nests. Trust me even with plastic you better be wearing gloves because they can slice you up like a pizza. With certain heavy cuts you can get better results. However lighter finish cuts no way. If there is anyway you could show us just how good it works on plastics that would be awesome!!! Another great video Donnie. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Hydrazine1000]

Given that 17-4 PH machines differently depending on the heat treated condition, what was the condition of the 17-4 PH? Condition A? H900? H1025? Or smear-city H1150M ? (or maybe another one)

[@donniehinske]

I’m not sure what the spec is because this is 17-4 from my second video that was 18 months ago. I would just assume it’s the easiest one to cut in which case a small bore like this can still be a pain. Good question tho. Sorry I don’t have a better answer

[@Hydrazine1000]

@@donniehinske In that case? Best guess: either H1150D or H1150M. Those two precipitation hardened conditions are pretty common in the oil & gas industry because they meet the NACE requirements for "sour service" and they are the softest most ductile.

[@RoryCoop-vb1un]

So as a screw machine setup operator for many years in Detroit, with tool steel you can groove a chip break in tool steel but carbide is a different monster, but when you get birds nests your coolant can get pushed away and burn your tool all to hell, the carbide tools or inserts should have a chip break cut into them , if the carbide insert is smooth than there's no chip break , if it does have a ridge on the insert and your still getting long chips you just need to adjust the tool until you find that sweet spot,

Almost looks like a flaw that turned out to be functional. Looks like something you could file into any other boring bar. Just file in an undercut in the mild(er) part of the shaft under the cutting bit. I wonder if another alternative would be to use a cutting bit that sits a bit proud of the shaft it's attached to, so it overhangs just enough to snag on the chip.

​@@Mikkel-RS yeah it usually doesn't matter, but it gets a bit annoying with small tools. Say i'm using a .09 boreing bar, i can define the shaft dims as the holder, but even if i set the insert dims as small as they go the sim shows the insert much larger than the hole i need to cut, and usually errors out. I'm still pretty novice on Mcam, just seems odd that there is no option for these types of bars, considering how common they are. I'm 6 yrs into the trade and think i've only used my insert bars a cpl times.
