[@Protooling2023]

Really nice tour. Good work 👍👍👍👍

[@deathness13]

That was amazing .. thanks for sharing …that vollmer machine is amazing ..

[@McTommyy]

Nice video, but the thing I was the most exited about wasn't mentioned. How do they get the spiral holes in the carbide?

[@f1rezs]

Very simple, it is just nylon rope that evaporates when the blanks are sintered

[@urbanawoodproject3123]

I was clicking through trying to find that after it was first announced. Never found it :(

[@iansandusky417]

As far as I can remember, they are cast in there prior to the beginning when the blanks are made - and I don’t recall if it’s shown but they have optical sensors inside the machine that index the profile of the drill to the holes when they’re ground so a flute doesn’t end up cutting through a coolant channel - super neat stuff!

[@kevinmortimer1883]

its done by having spiral copper (preshaped) that the carbide powder is pressed around. sintering melts it away leaving the desired spiral shap inside

[@jtarver8256]

He did say it was done in the carbide blanks, just not how

[@Arthur-ue5vz]

Wow, Ian. That was amazing! I'd love to see how they make the coolant holes spiral inside of the flutes. I cannot imagine how to make a spiraling hole unless those holes are made in an additive manufacturing method. How else could it be done? Thanks Ian for another amazing tour!!! 😊

[@Myllypelle]

Probably some type of plastic or resin spiral, which when the carbide is burned in a kiln, the plastic would brurn off too, leaving a channel. Cleaning said channel could be done by forcing abrasive liquid through said channels at highish pressure. I dunno, just guessing tho

[@tomazbeg1999]

Nice Tenx, love it.

[@iansandusky417]

Thank you very much for watching!

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

good video

[@iansandusky417]

Thank you very much for checking it out!

[@edwardgoodwin9801]

Why holes in the tip?? Obviously it's for a reason.

[@iansandusky417]

Thru-coolant

[@ihatesnowflakes2537]

Probably something to do with temp

[@Sicktrickintuner]

Through spindle coolant, almost required for deep drilling

[@danielczoller3395]

That quarter inch in Germany. It hurts a lot.

[@GermanoEllinas]

Special custom tools within weeks 😂 we grind special tools within for our customers within few day or even in hours

[@paulh9727]

Wow, decked to nines bro, real pro. No class.

[@Del21]

If they could only ship their tools on time, when promised. Delivery is quite disappointing.
