Yessir, cut me a slice of this!
Slice cut!! Ha Ctc
This is by far the cleanest explanation I've seen for using these types of tools. It makes them seem a lot less intimidating.
Great place to start!! Thanks for the comment. ctc
We did 50 years.....using ball nose for any surface.....now is it not good? Are you being serious?😅😅😅😅
Ball nose is Great!!! Most versatile surfacing tool you can use!!! These tools have there place for sure.. Thanks for watching and the comments. They help spark great discussions. ctc
@@CuttingtoolCounselor for fun you answered me! He said it.......ball mill not a clean toolpath! I think .....the ball is the best ! He just wanted to explain that we might have some benefits......in saving time ! this is a hugeeee storyyyyyyyy.The ball mill is GOD!
What is the need of small margin on the endmill.... please elaborate more how this is helpful in aluminium application...like any impact on finishing and roughing milling.... waiting for your response..love from india
Thank you !! Sub + Like + Comment
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
I'd like to see some sources on this, or some independant testing. I believe that there must be some effect, but what is the magnitude? Is it really better / worse than the increased number of entry/exits? I have a spindle with a vibration sensor and I can see that entry and exists always have increased vibration. I could see maybe in a slotting operaiton where it's harder to get coolant, but if you have 500psi through spindle coolant and the appropriate toolholder to make sure the coolant gets deliered to the tool, then even at that point is it an issue. Finally, does the increased cycle time pay for the tool?
Love the charisma!
Holy cow! That endmill simulation video of the chip forming was incredible to see! I'd love to see more video on that and deep cuts where you'd end up with multiple flutes in the cut at the same time.
How to calculate what pitch we need to interpolate at. I am interpolating a 125mm dia, 8 tipped high feed paramet cutter into the casting with 145mm hole to bore it to 152mm. The feeds and speeds are calculated but really confused about increment of Z into the bore. I tried same cutter same feeds and speeds for a bigger bore in the same casting which is about 180mm and used an increment(pitch) of 0.5mm per lap but the same increment is not working for 152mm bore. Could you please explain how to calculate that?
What a compliment! Exactly what I was going for. Thanks for watching! Ctc
I want to know how many things can make a peak finish like a helix (45' ?) , Rake angle 10 , 20 ' ? , Cusp Height, step over, Wiper ( I heard that Nissin ball nose design like insert wiper, etc... why mention only cutting way, not mention the other factor.
The problem I've run in to, in a formula 1 team, is the axial forces make the parts vibrate quite aggressively. This means the delicate parts we machine will rattle too much and damage the tool.
In high speed (Volumill) machining, the tool does not slow down in the corner. The toolpath engine makes sure that all corners are 10% greater radius than the tool radius allowing the tool to maintain its velocity. The cutoff point between HSM and HFM is the depth and width of the feature. (Generally 3X Depth of the cutter diameter and 4XW)
23:47 in my hole?
Thanks

Thanks Zak.
awesome, hopefully not too long for the next video😁
Should be coming out this week.. ctc
great info, I'm biased because when I came up I had a lot of problems with feeds and speeds engraving titanium rings, back in the day Harvey site had all my feeds and speeds handy, I'm in a job shop now and I always recommend Harvey to the boss, near retirement and just want to say thanks for the service
Well Thank you for trusting in Harvey. And congrats for making it to retirement! Ctc

@@CuttingtoolCounselor and also you keep talking about these material specific cutters... but if i enter the material into the machining advisor pro, then i enter the tool i would like to use.. it will say tool is not for material selected would you like to choose a different material? like no man find me a differnt cutter for my material. please.. sorry just trying to help better the app for the end user.
Great explanation, I've seen tools like this but didn't really understand what I was seeing
Next Video is going deeper. Thanks for watching. Ctc
First ever My experience with circle segment cutters is that they aren't as great as they seem. The sell is that they are versatile, and I thought I would have them as dedicated tools in my machine but that just isn't the case. First, they're expensive. Second, holders are a problem. Helical solutions is just now making standard inch sizes so this might not be as problematic now for us American machinists. Third, full five axis machining is slower than three axis on most machines. Typically less rigid as well. Plus the holder being longer, and less beefy... You lose all the speed you gained from bigger step overs. Third, programming is a pain, especially for pockets. At least in mastercam. It does really weird things in the corners forcing you to attack it one side at a time. Furthermore, you need to be careful with excessive c-axis motion. This is not shown in backplot or verify, and is difficult to notice in simulation unless you're specifically looking for it. For pockets, I found 3+2 rough-finish followed by a ball nose clearance cutter from Harvey to get the fillets in multi axis to be the most effective, fastest, easiest and most reliable approach. The sales people are going to tell you to use a taper form for the sides, an oval form for the corners, and a lens form for the floor using 30 different tool paths. Plus painstakingly verifying the tool paths in simulation. Maybe the next video will change my mind though
You have some great points. There is 100% a time and place to use these tools to get the benefits from that larger step-over. Hopefully I can explain that in the next video so machinist can make the best decision for specific parts. Really appreciate your experience! Ctc

So which of the two H40ALV-3 Uncoated/Zplus has a better performance-price ratio for the 6xxx and 7xxx series aluminum? Great channel👌
That would be the coated version. Zplus. Would not use the new Dplus in 6000&7000 series, could be overkill. Unless you never want to change your endmill!!😂
@@CuttingtoolCounselor you mention that Dplus coating is for 4xxx series Aluminium-silicon alloys, so it can be used efficently for 6-7xxx also? What is the average Dplus rougher tool life on high speed dry machining (12000RPM) comparing to Zplus rougher? I would never want to change my endmil rougher for high series CNC manufacturing 😄
@@33samogo what’s the flute count your using? Dplus will way outperform Zplus in 6000 and 7000 series. I would say3 times the life min providing a stable setup. Reason I asked about flute count is I’m not a huge fan of 3 or more dry. Although Dplus would be my choice dry.
@@CuttingtoolCounselor I am neither a machinist nor a programmer, but a developer, although I do all three, because I always want to push the limits (you can't make a great product if you don't know the technology ;). I am trying to come up with the most efficient milling plan for my serial parts of 6-7xxx T6 series, this includes a CNC machine as tools. In my case, rough milling has the greatest impact on the total time of milling work, so I will use the Volumill method in programming. What I think is crucial in the first step is to determine the optimal spindle speed for this operation, and this is conditioned by the tool harmonics (axial depth/spindle speed stability lobe diagram). If the most effective rotation range is somewhere between 12000 - 20000RPM, then it is necessary to ensure good evacuation of the chips, so the tool needs a maximum of 3 low angle flutes (I think 2 is to low, but I am not an expert). The axial cut is not deep, 15mm max, what feeds&speeds do you recommend in this case (3 axis operation) using Dplus? (I will adapt the machine to the optimal milling process, and not the other way around). Do you also have distribution outside the US? Thank you for your responsiveness.👍
@@33samogo I like your approach. My main job at Harvey performance is to work with some of the best aerospace companies. I know you probably thought All I did were these videos😂😂As you know there is a-lot of aluminum in aerospace. My question back to you before some recomondations. What is your Max spindle? If we know this I can make sure I am optimizing that based on your axial. Assuming you are using a volumill tool path as well. 15mm axial we could go with chip splitter if necessary. I do a lot of the tap testing at Harvey/Helical as well. So we know a little bit about the harmonics between spindle/holder and tool. Last thing are there any radius’s I need to know about? Let me know and I can help make some suggestions.
Thanks for an excellent explanation of the "Your four flute ball end mill is really a two-flute at shallow DOCs"! Very informative and clear. Just one hopefully constructive comment, (please feel free to ignore my advice). The "meat" of the video doesn't start until 3 minutes 52, I very nearly clicked away about five times during that hugely long intro. Asking me to like and subscribe before delivering anything of value is also a major turn-off, and the extended repeat of what was covered in the long outro also had me very close to clicking away. If you chopped the intro and most of the outro, and did the call to action right after the big reveal about 5-axis milling, like "If you've found this useful, please like and subscribe if you think I've earned it", I would have watched the entire thing and clicked all the right buttons immediately. Absolutely excellent descriptive content, definitely 10/10 for the "meat in the sandwich".
I find that very constructive and put very professionally.. I am really trying to make it about the content. Thanks for the input. Ctc
