Zombie Mill Saved Me $100,000 | CNC Machining Inconel 718 | Vlog #75

[@yuri2006]

Thank boys! Emailing you from Stony Creek, Ontario Canada. You guys are awesome. Really appreciate what your doing. Just starting CNC machining after 25 years or so. I'm a manual machine guy but my heart was always with the technology aspect of machining. I was really apprehensive on starting back on CNC but you guys made it easier and less intimidating. I'm still nervous but excited and will keep watching your vids and gain some supper knowledge. Thanks again for what you guys are doing for the boys here at home! God bless! 👍👍

Hey titan, I know it’s not your style, but I think it’d be pretty cool if you did a “budget desktop cnc” where you’d use 1.5-2.2kw spindles and see how hard you can push those things. There’s really not too much info out there on home built CNCs that are cutting steel. This Old Tony has some videos on it but it’s not too expansive or in detail about his gantry or spindle yeti. Anyways, great videos man. I don’t even run CNCs but I still love watching your videos.

[@TITANSofCNC]

I am doing some Tormach videos to show the entire spectrum

[@sshep7119]

Titan and crew, another great video. For the content, but more as it shows yet another aspect of machining which is lost to most. Not that the tool keeps breaking, but why the tool keeps breaking. I am going to have to go into the engineering side here, but the more you grasp as a expert in machining the better your are. Carbide, like every other metal bends, flexes, twists while it is doing it's thing. The law that governs this is called Wohler's Law, if you can grasp the math and the physics, identify all the variables that you deal with while machining a part and then apply the law to the application you can troubleshoot an issue such as this. There was a deflection (stress) in the tool over a period of time, that after a set time that stress became greater than the tool's capability and it failed. I wish I could get my hands on a few of the broken endmills to see just where the breaks happened and find what caused them to break. Sometimes being a good detective is much cheaper than "let it cut and see what happens", than again sometimes that is the only thing you can do. There is a recipe for everything, pancakes, apple pie, and endmill selection. The better you measure the ingredients, the better the outcome. Would you have seen improved tool life from a smaller gullet/larger core tool, a shorter flute height tool, a change in helix angle, possibly switching to an endmill with down-cutting flutes putting the tool in compression as opposed to tension, or just using the tool you have and conventional cutting as opposed to climb cutting reducing the deflection by the tool cutting into the material instead of cutting material off. There are soo many variables that you have to take into account, but the better you are, the better the product. This way of thinking is how we are going to bring more manufacturing back here, getting past the old ways of just going with it, and bringing the art and science together.

[@miguellimon2609]

Hello. Where can I find more info about this Wholer's law? Best Regards.

[@ta2dmacabre]

@@miguellimon2609 Friedrich Wöhler was a German chemist who ushered in a new age of organic chemistry when he demonstrated that urea, a chemical produced in the bodies of animals and humans, could be manufactured in the laboratory. This discovery overthrew the then-current theory of vitalism, which held that the chemistry of living things was governed by a different set of laws from those governing inorganic chemistry Wöhler's Law states: a law of strength of materials: the breaking strength of a material decreases with repetition of the strain and with the range of the strain variations. Plethora of information for more than just chemistry....

[@paulcarter7238]

the main problem is the tool becomes blunt,tool wear. the the loads on the tool rise till the load reaches a point were it fatigues then brakes, also as the tool bend due to the cutting loads the cutting angles change which is not going to be for the better wear increases load rise. interesting you measure time. Time is not important its the total metal removed that maters .

[@BROUSBLADES]

Did you cut with coolant or air blast?

[@Validity_TN]

When machining super-alloys with carbide -> use coolant everytime, with ceramics -> never use coolant

[@dave4gee]

Possibly a dumb question, so pardon... I've never run a machining centre, rather I program a turret punch press and a laser profiling machine - so I love CNC. But if a tool is so expensive and has a defined life, wouldn't it be smart to stop using the tool before it catastrophically dies, and program in a new fresh tool to take over, thereby not stopping the job and work-flow. Maybe, because the tool is not completely dead, the used tool can be returned to the manufacturer for refurbishment, saving $$$$.

[@Lurchone1]

Sometimes it's worth the money to regrind but often it isn't because the more edges they need to regrind, obviously the more it will cost. Regrinds rarely last even close to the cutting time of the original tool. Probably due to heat stress, deflection stress and they don't usually re-coat the cutting edges like the original tool. I'm betting it's not cost effective to regrind a 6 flute endmill , especially if your only getting a half life because replacing the tool and restarting the job in the middle of the program is also a lot of lost time. Time is money in a production shop.

[@MrDrewmcdonald]

Titan some of us can't get the newest and best machines. You've talked about your start on a TRAK mill. Can you make some videos on how to push a TRAK mill for best efficiency and machine/tool life?

[@Suzaru87]

We use ceramic inserts (SiAlOn) for Inconel 718 on work (for roughing/dry). The cutting speed is 25x higher than carbide - great time saver. With carbide endmills try to mill Inconel in conventional milling direction. It helps with hard materials, when your chip thickness starts at zero!!!

[@TITANSofCNC]

Ceramics are great with the right application, but you also go through a lot of inserts and down time changing tools unless you put time into your machine management. With these High End EndMill ... Always Climb... the doors is up for Inconel and definitely don’t want to run over any chips etc.

[@vincelombardi2669]

Suzaru87 I agree ceramic would been the better choice here. You can not only load Redundance tools on the machine and have it set up to change after so many mins and have the tool management for tool load setup would be better. Plus if he had a DMG Mori machine you can unload the tools as the machine running and change insert while it’s still going.

Why are you running your tools to the failure point? We always set tool life to pull the tool early and send in a fresh horse. It's cheaper to have a tired tool resharpened than breaking them and then replacing them.

[@ardimarcs7698]

ten littleindians If it survives through the whole roughing process, it’s cheaper to just keep it in the machine as opposed to stopping the program, pulling it out, putting a new tool in and starting again. Making the parts faster will make up for the cost of the tooling

Could just have a duplicate tool in the carosel. Tool change at Line "x" for duplicate.

[@tenlittleindians]

@@ardimarcs7698 Clearly you have never priced these end mills. Even if they have the tool capacity filled they could have another in a holder on the bench with it's information loaded into another tool offset slot. It takes less than a minute to manually swap the tools and call up the offset for the fresh horse. While the tool is cutting away the operator can swap out the tired cutter and measure it on the presetter and enter the data into the machine. Even on a machine brand that won't let you adjust offsets while it's running you can still right down the numbers on a piece of masking tape and stick it on the tool so they are handy for entering later.

Once you know when the tool is about to die, stop and pull the tool a bit early. # 1 A dull tool is work hardening the surface and the next tool’s life will be shortened. #2 When a tool breaks, it can leave imbedded carbide in the part just waiting to hurt the new tool at the very fist moment. #3 A broken or badly chipped endmill has no regrind value.

[@tomtroszak]

Dear Titan, I have huge respect for you, and your mission of education! I think you have a lot to give to this world. Just a gentle reminder that this fawning infomercial would have had more educational value if you had linked to a video about this particular part, or explained what the machining challenge was, what the original cutter(s) were, why the original cutters failed, why the new cutters were better, and what you learned. So many educational opportunities missed here, but at least you stressed the importance of keeping records. I'll tell anybody the most important tool the shop is a notebook and pen. I say "Making mistakes is how we learn, repeating them is how we fail." Because in machining, everything matters - the machine, the setup, etc., not just your cutter supplier. With all respect, the takeaway message here "hang the entire future of your entire shop on a single tool type (and reliance on expensive overnight shipping) from a single vendor, and just fly out for a meeting with them whenever you get stuck" doesn't really compare with the educational content of your other excellent videos. :-)

A message to Titan, hoping this reaches you.. My name is Tyler Rook and I'm a machinist. It's in my blood and I live, love, and breath it. My grandfather started and grew a somewhat widely known company called ATS Workholding, but for reasons too time consuming for me to explain at the moment he no longer owns that company. So since 2009 or so he has been running an aerospace job shop. Fast forward to 2015, I packed up everything I owned and moved from Iowa to SoCal to work for him. I already knew how to make good parts at this point and could read code like I was reading a book, but I didn't know anything about how to program with a software. So I found a local MasterCam class and was instantly hooked and excelled far past my classmates. My grandpa has great relationships with tooling reps simply from doing this for so long, so we teamed up with some great reps that knew their shit and started kicking ass. My grandpa's niche was already hard metals, I couldn't even estimate how many hundreds of thousands of parts I've made out of 625, 718, A286, some monel, and some hasteloy. The point I'm trying to reach here is that I've never met or seen anyone that I feel has the same amount of love, skill, and drive for this industry until I started watching your videos and the dude from NYC CNC. And I believe that people like us, working together to teach other shops how to run as efficient as possible all across the nation could potentially help America's economy immensely. If you would be willing, I would love to come visit you sometime to talk about how I can help do the same thing you're doing. I want to educate people and do it the right way.

You commenters are a crack up. They will never show the machining for this part. It's called "Export Control Laws" - basically a gag order, they aren't allowed to divulge anything about the part or its customer. I'm a machinist for a small shop that does prototyping work for aerospace companies - super high precision work. All I cut are the INCOs, the hastelloys, the A286s, the AISI A2's, the titaniums, the monels - basically the materials most shops don't want to deal with. And I say that because of my years of experience, all the software's tool companies provide that these guys are talking about towards the end are worth DIRT. Nothing trumps experience. I had a representative from a major tool supplier in my shop wanting to show off a special endmill like this one, he tried to show us the Speed/Feed software they had.

@@EdritKolotityeah, because its the best. im from switzerland, we almost only use these.

[@shivarudrayyam5652]

Sir is their any opportunities to work with you

[@PhaseConverterampV]

A lot has to do with the quality of machine and tool holder. Try a test back to back with HAAS vs Mori / Matsuurawith the best holder.

[@davidprock904]

What if your electricity was free to you and you have foundry as a part of your operation? How much would you save then? I'm serious about the free electrical!

[@HM1-d4d]

Titan how about Rifling by Flow Forming some Military Tank Barrels using a material containing 50% Cobalt ? Can you image the size of those 3 rollers applying the pressure. Titan, invest in Stuart...going places!

[@chriseber7714]

Titan just wondering what your thoughts are on ID/OD grinding vs milling

[@jeepmanxj]

In reference to what? Surface finish?

[@chriseber7714]

No making the entire part

[@codyterrill5947]

Titan, mind if I take this one? If you're grinding an entire part, you're going to be there a while. If you're trying to get a crucially tight tolerance, you ALWAYS want to OD grind. Im talking +-.0002 or less, unless you have the machines, tooling, the process and the skills to consistantly produce those tight cuts. Obviously you want to get the tolerance and rough out within 5 thou over the final dimension of an OD before you bring it to a grinder.

[@chriseber7714]

Cody Terrill idk I work at a shop where all we do is grinding and our Lynx 220 can really crank out the parts.

[@jeepmanxj]

@@chriseber7714 you guys are pissing away money if you are grinding entire parts from billets. It would take hours to remove the material a lathe or mill could remove in moments Grinding is best suited to finishing as it's slow as piss.

So ive just used a heli 3 on inconel 718 it lasted 40 mins!!!! 1/2 dia 1.100"doc, 0.025 step, 1220 rpm

[@Bighorse508]

How do you think it would cut into cobalt chrome. I go threw a ton of 3/8 endmills when im roughing. Id love to get something that wont break after 10 parts.

[@Phil-D83]

Likely need to use a water jet or some type of electrical discharge machining to really bite into that material.

[@destro513]

How much is that cutter?

[@alexkern9134]

Hey Titan, When is it smart to use an insert cutter instead for this type of application?? It sounds like never might be the answer.

[@TITANSofCNC]

In this Material... it’s almost impossible to consistently cut with regular inserts... and if the inserts go your liable to drag the holder into the material. EndMills break off easy and last long. Ceramic Shell Mills work well but you gotta change inserts often. 12-15 min

[@The0_oface]

Thank you for your wisdom!!

[@mohamedothman2053]

Good tutorial

[@Apathymiller]

Would pcd work on it?

[@rerollcake2556]

Man, i actually wish these kinds of materials would show up more on my table. I remember my first time machining Inconel 625, that was quite the experience! I will always remember what my customer told me: "If you can machine this, you can machine anything!“ That's what i work for, i want to make my customers proud with my work!

[@ribcoandot4942]

Maybe you can try our endmill. Test on inconel 4099 with constant milling for 6 hours.

[@mkdzr72]

Only $2,000,000,000 per endmill. I can't even imagine how much this endmill costs. I looked at a Kennametal 1/2 dia endmill for profiling aluminum, 1" flute length. It was $600 per endmill. I could buy data flute endmills that probably work better and cost WAY less.

[@williamtemplar8406]

Ceramic tooling ?

[@juanbaclavab]

What else if not ceramic?

[@b2manufacturing]

Who’s Bow-Ling? I’ve never heard of them, and I know aerospace companies.

[@bigredone1030]

I heard tool and die is better than cnc at making firearms parts, whats the difference?

[@Eluderatnight]

The tool and dies are CNC-ed and last for "x" amount of parts. Its better for bigger runs.

[@bigredone1030]

@@Eluderatnight So theyre the same thing, save for differences in duration?
