Utilizing SFM in Your CNC Applications: In The Loupe TV Ep. 10

[@michaelallen1046]

I noticed this the other day running 718 inconel! Running a larger step over with slower feed we achieved the same mrr and tools last for hours vs every other part replacing tools! Holding a .0005 total tolerance. Also ran another 718 job 3in deep 2in dia. Running a chip splitter 5fl. vs a 8fl. Tool the 8fl didn't make it through one part. 30mins machine time. 5fl. With splitter super cheap off brand tool lasted over an hour in cut. Before needing replaced! Splitting the path into 2 segment depths vs full depth helped out a ton! No pilot hole full helical to depth. About 30mins machine time but not bad for a worn out mori seiki

Great info. Thanks for sharing! Ctc

With all the things that take into play, Harvey Tool seems to be picking up the ball. This was explained very well.

Thanks

Excellent tutorial, well done!

Thanks Keith.

Thanks for this wonderful session...

Thanks for Watching!

Don, this was a great episode. Loved the intro as well! One thing that I think could be improved in future episodes is an upgrade to your microphone. Everything you say is audible but there's quite a bit of distortion and I think that there's many better options than what you're using at the moment. Overall, great video again and I'm looking forward to the next one!

Thanks for the feedback. I’m using the following plug and play system, LARKBIRD Dual Wireless Lavaliere. This plugs directly into my IPhone. Would love to hear your suggestion for best quality. Thanks for your reply!

Good stuff. Almost 90% of the parts I make are Aluminum. But those 10% other alloy parts can be hard on tools if we don't pay attention to the suggested machining parameters.

[@dongrandt372]

Couldn't agree more Kevin. They like to push heat!!

[@armwrestlerjeff]

wow that is awesome meaty stuff! Thank you!

thanks

Thank you for the video. I am struggling with a new low HP machine, when I reduce SFM I increase vibration for some reason and am chipping my cutters, but if I increase sfm to 460 I at least have a consistent, but rapid wear. Cutting 304 SS.

[@CuttingtoolCounselor]

Does your chip load stay the same?

[@MK-tu1zh]

@@CuttingtoolCounselor Yes. I get an excessive vibration error in the middle of a linear cut. I can fix it by increasing my SFM and increasing the IPM to keep the same chip load. For some reason it hates 300 SFM in stainless.

Very nice and understandable vid clip!

we need a gooder gash for the helical line of endmills.

Nice

HEM = High Engagement Milling

That works as well!!
