IPM looks cool. When it comes to roughing, it's MRR (Material Removal Rate) which counts. The customer pays for the finish cut. You make money on the roughing cut!

That's a great point!

[@joshuawentworth7426]

Exactly this. You passed the MRR of the 800 IPM (inches per minute) cut with 1.5 in. WOC (width of cut) all the way back at 450 IPM with the 2.7 in. WOC.

Ya make your time roughing, ya take your time finishing:)

[@SuicideKang]

Maybe true but power milling is hard on your tools and your machine. I can turn an endmill into a ball mill and still finish the job before I’m even aware of it with high speed machining. My parts come out flatter and my walls are straight within tenths. Aaaaaannd I don’t have to tighten the crap out of my delicate part. Power milling has proven to be faster for sure but when that tool breaks, your holder is damaged and that part is scrapped hsm will have put more money in your pocket from said customer. Unless you have a spare tool in the carriage and the part hasn’t moved and verified it hasn’t. A continuously running hsm program will leave you behind and give you over 3 times the tool life.

[@SuicideKang]

A high speed machining rough cut is practically good enough to pass as a finish cut. Your finish cuts should be even faster because of chip thinning

[@steedspeedturbo]

I use a different approach. I set up my machines to run as many parts as possible. I bought a brand new, gorgeous VF5XT last year and I fill the 60 x 26 travel with parts. this gives me a 9 hour run time with tool reliability. I can run the machine during the day and then get another run in at night. Maybe I could push it harder but as its lights out machining with nobody at the shop I'm happy with a program that is reliable and doesn't break tools.. ever.

[@ChefofWar33]

Thats a good approach to alot of small parts, but big parts or ones where you need 4 or 5 ops for completion, it isnt doable.

@@rodidy Is it your experience that tools and machine has substantially more wear PER PART if you run fast vs slow? I would assume that on the spindle ex - it would be a very hard, expensive and time consuming study to make. It seems like a lot of parts are unnessacarily expensive due to slow processes, and as with anything backing 10% off the max. is probably a lot more durable than backing 2% off, but the difference between 50% and 90% is likely miniscule in wear.

You didn't show the surface finish after each pass? Also, how well did the inserts hold up under the extreme load?

Put a larger diameter cutter in an go at less than 50% width of cut, that way the cutter is always climb milling and reducing the force.

[@SkyzzV_]

Makes no sense if you want to go fast... larger diameter = slower

[@shiro-r4m]

Nice video and I learnt a thing or two. The only thing I don't understand is why the emphasis is put on feed rate while there are more variables contributing to material removal. Making money with a machine means removing volume as quickly as possible, which would mean cubic inches per minute. The 600ipm pass at a 2.7" stepover was 126 cubic inches per minute The 800ipm pass at a 1.5" stepover was 120 cubic inches per minute BUT with reduced spindle load What I would suggest in search for a metal-hogging recipe is to be at full depth of cut, keep the maximum feed rate and play with the stepover. The reason being, you're paying for big inserts but only use .1 inch of the tip. Any thoughts?

[@TITANSofCNC]

2.7 was definitely a higher HP also... My point was not to bury the tool but just to show everyone the tool could handle a lot... so don't be scared to experiment. My normal feed as seen the the spark plug video is 300-500IPM at Z-.2 which gives me a nice MRR.

[@TravisHammeng]

𝖘 𝖍 𝖎 𝖗 𝖔 you're right a more complete doc would use the insert more efficiently. Though generally a tool of that size your probably using more for facing style cuts, not so much mass MMR, there's more suitable tools for that

[@steedspeedturbo]

I cut mild steel every day with sandvick r.390 inserts. One thing I've found to save the cutters and inserts is to either be above the screw or below it. Having the cutting pressure concentrated at the thinnest part of the insert leads to inserts breaking. Best strategy is at 1/3 of insert or 2/3. I cut at 40 ipm with 1 inch sandvick and .5 depth of cut using air through tool on my HAAS VF5 XT. Btw, I've been machining since 1980 and the HAAS is the best machine I've ever used. Yes, I've owned Makino, Matsuura etc. HAAS wipes the floor with them.

[@randyhaight7202]

Are you really gaining ground though? Pushing to 800 is great, but if you're reducing your radial to do it, is it worth it? Especially considering wear on the machine? Great video though, thanks.

[@ChefofWar33]

They real machinists calculate their Material Removal Rate vs their chip load.

[@swikocki]

Nice More positive inserts play a massive difference in spindle load also. Can often increase cutting date this way and also reduce load.

[@BoxOfGod]

For me usually is the workholding that limits the speeds. I can dial in the numbers even larger MRR than that in video but either there's too little material to hold on or poor selection of vises at the moment. Eitherway it costs money better known as opportunity cost. Proper tools always pays off in time and only thing that you can't replace is time so that will always be the most expensive thing in any shop.

[@DethWshBkr]

So how was the cut on the 500, 600, 700, fpm no coolant runs? As a non-machinist, I'm curious to see how much snipe or chatter there was on the (Y?) axis end of the material. I assume the Z was rough as well. (X?) went through on all but the last pass, so there was nothing to see there. (Not sure if the X was the plate motion, or if the Y was, but I'm assuming X based on the load factor on the screen)

[@Eggsr2bcrushed]

Nothing against Haas, but you get what you pay for. This is a 40 taper machine and that little spindle just doesn't have gobs of torque like a geared 50 taper with 35+ HP. Bigger machine would also have sturdy box ways and a design that is simply more geared towards beating the shit out of it.

[@atomiclizzard288]

I agree for the most part, Haas machines are cheap but they're very economical. my old shop had a high end Mori, it was a kick ass machine but had a lot of problems and had to be fixed often. My new shop has a vision wide which is a cheap Korean machine, it is really powerful; 55hp and a crap ton of torque but its maxed out at 7000rpm.

[@pro-seriesfabrication3810]

A CAT40 taper, linear guide machine is NOT made for old school/box-way hogging. "High speed machining" works because linear guides wear less overtime than boxways and typically the feed rate/rapids are higher on the machine due to the smaller amount of friction. My box way fadal is maxed out at 200ipm. Over that and not only can the processor not keep up, it drains the way oil with a quickness. It's like complaining about not getting your corvette to trailer 10,000lbs loads.

[@xenonram]

I wonder how much of a difference it would have made if you were conventional milling, rather than climb milling, on the original 2.7" step over. When you were on the 600 & 700 passes, it had that big wall that may have messed with chip evacuation. (P.S. I am NOT a machinist. So if that's an absolutely stupid observation and query, forgive me.) Also, I would like to see a video of milling with & without coolant. For example, if you did the *exact* same cuts with coolant and without coolant. Maybe with a parametric graph with the spindle load % & kw, HP, and surface footage. So we could see whether or not the coolant makes an appreciable difference, or any statistically significant difference at all. Maybe even one comparing MQL, mist, HP vs LP flood coolant, WD-40, brushed on cutting style lube like the old school guys use on the manual machines, etc.

[@GRTLRS]

Pretty cool test. 162 in³/min @ 600ipm is more than I expected it would do. Those Stellram cutters are very nice. Do you know how low the rpms dropped on that 600ipm pass? When can we expect a test in steel? :)

A good test for the machine. If you're up to doing this again, drop the spindle speed to 9k-10k, since it will increase the available torque by about 60% (specifically at 9krpm). The chipload will shoot through the friggen roof at 800 IPM @ 9krpm, but hey that's what the test is for :)

[@astaschak]

I actually just did this today on my 1996 or 7 VF-6. I was running a similar style high feed face mill on some large 7000 series parts. 7500rpm (max for the machine it's old) at 150ipm 2"step over on a 3 inch shell @ .05doc. Spindle load floated around 100% I was getting fluffy hard to clean out chips. The auger didn't like them...haas... I dropped the rpm down to 5000rpm and everthing else the same. Load went down to 60% so I said ok, more feed? I went up to 240ipm, .05 doc, 5500rpm at 85-90% load. So my mrr went up 62% if i figure right, I got better chips, and didn't kill the machine. So I dropped all my other tools from 7500 that I was using down around 5000-5500 and almost doubled all my feed rates for the milling operations and now the parts are coming out roughly 75% faster. It makes sense thinking about it too. So for hogging I wont be maxing out my spindle, machine just falls flat on its face.

[@beccabeme]

20.3 metres a minute is certainly travelling. What RPM were you running? What grade aluminium were you using? Material has a big bearing. Insert geometry also has an influence. All machining is a lot of trade offs between speed, tool use, wear and number of operations in a job. The rapid traverse rates and speed of tool change also can have a bearing in time taken. Would be interested in seeing this performed on steel tho.

[@thegadsdensnake408]

I was under the impression that you did not want to enter the cut right at half the cutter diameter, because it is the weakest part of the cut for the insert. For example enter the cut at 1.6" or 1.4" I could be wrong

[@aaronjay4896]

Have to love the variables, from a parametric programmer👽

[@taurinetrashmann259]

Hey can someone direct me to a place where I can buy aluminum like that? I’m not a machinist and I don’t have access to tooling equipment (sadly), but I DO need aluminum for metal casting, and seeing that much aluminum being shredded to bits is slightly infuriating tbh

[@windowlickerpaintbal]

have you tried googling "metal distributors" ? or if you're looking for a low volume of metal and want to make it simple check out mcmaster carr ( mcmaster.com )

[@sbeprecisionproducts6729]

The Fadal I was running yesterday cant even rapid at 800 IPM more like 700 ipm rapid at most. This is crazy stuff.

[@gman5986]

What is the best software or application for calculating speeds and feeds for cnc machining?

[@TITANSofCNC]

NOVO from Kennemetal is Great

[@gman5986]

@@TITANSofCNC Thanks Titan.........Amazing Response Time. All the best to you in 2019!

[@sierrabravo7368]

but I could make the machine work faster by increasing the depth of cut so what do I do make it machine slower with a deeper cut or make the machine work faster? or some combination of the 2?

[@maxsmith2320]

very nice tutorials, i watch almost all of them

[@carlossalvadormoralesjuare7037]

Titan, bearing into the spindle going to be affected? This was interesting test!!

[@Sonicman1352]

I would've liked to see some chip analysis on this, just to see what kinda chips are breaking across the board at the different feeds.

[@joandar1]

Interesting to see this demo on alloy. I would like to see the result if you had tried to do fast speed (ipm) before you had reduced the height with previous cuts. More leverage on part, that would be interesting! Cheers from John, Australia.

[@automan1223]

Titan, while finding the sweet spot on any machine is the key to productivity I have this feeling that you wont be happy and you want to make a machine that can actually do 1000 ipm no matter what material you put in its vise !!

[@Keithhenagan]

When Haas and Kennemetal give you your stuff, I would rag it out too

[@TITANSofCNC]

I have been machining like this from day 1 in building my shop and that’s why I have been successful... because I solve my customers problems. You should check my last Vlog on last Friday when I tell the story of starting my shop and sleeping their so I could run machines 24/7. What I have is because I risked it all and put the work in.

[@jayant_muchandikar]

Can yu please tell me whats the best insert i can get to machine cast iron RA VALUE SHOULD BE LESS THEN 3.2

[@carolshawol6699]

Were does all that smoke come from the inserts or aluminum?

[@Tinkle1]

The heat alone, it condenses water from the air

[@ThePointlessBox_]

coolant

[@kjamesjr]

The inserts were smoked at 500. Coolant is the make it or break it at these feeds and speeds.

[@TITANSofCNC]

Not really... inserts were fine. Machine drew the limits not the inserts

[@tompayton6778]

try that in D-2 and I might be impressed, you can do the same with high speed tooling in aluminum

[@TITANSofCNC]

:-)

[@anthonyrb20]

Why would you lower your material removal rate just to make the feed rate faster?

[@JosephArata]

Axial loading...... He specified directly in the explanation.

[@whiteandnerdy511]

Who would have thought that cooling and lubricating while machining would lower the effort needed....

[@CaptainDammiit]

I want one of your titans of cncs T-shirt’s! I enjoy watching the videos you guys post!

[@brandonhuskey9153]

Are you keeping your chip load constant every pass?

[@marcusbyrd7924]

Why not take a full DOC of the insert cut at a proper feedrate for your horsepower limitations? In addition drop the spindle to a better part of the horsepower curve. This would be a faster MRR because there would be less movement overall. High IPM isn't always the fastest way to remove metal.

[@TITANSofCNC]

Agreed, there are definitely many variables... I didn't want to over complicate things... but more wanted to teach... These tools and machines can handle a lot, don't be afraid to test the waters at higher feed rates... You might just make some money:-)

[@saustinatgmailcom]

exactly, these videos showing all this high feed rate is just for show. Backing off the DOC, WOC and increasing IPM does not remove material faster if you need to take more cuts. I would rather see some real stuff that shows how to maximize constrained by machine capability, and where your forced to use a small tool because of a feature. IE: is it worth it to REST or not. ALSO pushing HSM and adaptive strategies.

[@gregglumen4365]

TITANS of CNC: Academy keep up the good work,as someone who runs large HBMS all day every day it's kinda nice to see something run over 50 IPM.

[@k1tesurfen]

This dude listened to all episodes of the Jocko Podcast. "We're at max? Good. Back off, reload, recalibrate, REENGAGE!"

[@TiMechOfficial]

lol we are using the GARANT feedking and we can mill at vc=1500m/min F=1,11mm (per tooth).... is it faster? AlCuMgPb

[@dingohammer1136]

The volume of material removed per minute is V = Feed x Width of Cut x Depth of Cut. You were actually removing more material per minute at 500 ipm and 2.7" woc than at 800 ipm and 1.5" woc.

[@iandorrington6397]

Is that a wood router or a metal milling machine???😊

[@cnchq160]

What was all the smoke coming off? Was that Aluminum being burnt?

[@hurttech7593]

Whatever fluid they were putting on it, most likely WD40 or something similar.

[@Nathan-mg7ho]

i think it was, but it could have been oil that was put on before the cut started

[@TITANSofCNC]

Wow! Yep... I was trying not to flood coolant yet so the camera could catch the footage... just soaked the floor with some WD40 to give it a lil lube... of course it doesn't cool it though.

[@blue03r6]

The us government actually provides a free feeds and speeds chart for all kinds of materials. They do this kind of thing in my hometown. We were told about it by a local machine shop school

[@JosephArata]

Doesn't really apply with 10k+ rpm CNC milling machines that are designed for high speed mass production.

[@Gamer91420]

How the hell are all your machines looking like they just got hooked for the first time no shop I've ever been at have had such clean machines 😳

[@jamesbuck3818]

As a MR1(SW)Retired Navy vet w/16 yrs sea duty .. I KNOW when I see power and Damn Good Machinest ... Wish you could Teach Me.. Where where you in '95?

[@HeathFluent]

Have you tried TMAC from Caron Engineering? up to 125% of programmed feed rates... Adaptive machining... just a thought.

[@box420]

I don't know about all that but I work in aircraft has a Machinist and we run all of shell mills at 300" with a 150-250 Z depth of cut and it's about 90% load pending on our material

[@kkarunaratne9253]

The correct approach (IMHO) is to review the torque curve of the mill and run at the RPM that produces Peak torque. then optimize depth of cut and feed rate around that for best MMR. At a certain point the tool stalls or breaks but usually that's to do with clearance of chips from the cut. To improve clearance of chips increase spindle speed - continue to optimize. I was able to triple my MMR over just running the spindle "flat out" and not thinking thru this..
