- This is a test piece of a larger fixture that will hold 24 blanks for machining our Seams Impossible too.

I had to check out part 2 on the bull dog clamp fixture. In awe of your Tormach skills. I’m lucky if I can think through two step operations. Lol. The shear hog final pass was so clean. Amazing!
Nice fixture plate on your mill table. Gives you so much more versatility and range for setups. Unfortunately not all shops I’ve worked for agree with that.
Oh man. The "bread board" as we call it is VERY useful. Half of the holes are threaded and half of them are reamed for pins. It's great for prototyping.
Looks amazing! great job on the Pit bull style clamps
Thanks Amen!
Awesome Greg
Great video, great music as well.
Thanks Robert!
Nice setup and came out great
Thank you sir!
Nice setup!
Thanks Terry.
Looks sweet! I use Wiha hex wrenches at work! Horror Fright tool are disposable ones I use at home on my bikes n such!
Thanks Darrell!
Nice work Greg.
Thanks Randy... I just got my mill turning tools delivered this morning. Once I do a couple small projects to learn on, I'm going to turn my attention to making a knocker like you made.
@@GregsGarage Nice
neat machine
Thanks Stu!
"Anyone want hotdogs for lunch?" Lol
Curious, what material are you using for the fixture and the clamps?
Way past my interest boundaries.....but gotta come say hi to ya cutie pie. Hope all is good. “Muah!”
Hey Greg! Totally off topic, but I was wondering if you would be interested in making a part for my Camaro? I would be super-cool to have a "g" logo somewhere on my car. Let me know!
I actually have an Uncle Bob :)
Well done. I'm still a little unclear on why you needed different size clamps. Wouldn't you just move the pocket as needed when designing the fixture, and use the same clamp sizes for all ops?
All 24 spots on the fixture will need to hold parts for all the ops. We will run 24 blanks for op 1, then swap clamps for 24 parts to run op2 and so on. We will run parts about 1000 at a time, so 3 clamp changes for 1000 parts. Does that make sense?
@@GregsGarage It does. That's what I was trying to figure out last time. Sure seems it would be WAY faster to swap stock and do op1, op2, op3 all on one fixture, and just cycle them through. You're moving the stock between ops already, so that's no different, but the time to swap out the clamps is substantial. Hope that makes sense.
@@billstrahan4791 is right. The most effective way to do this is to have 1 row as op1, 1 row as op2, and 1 row as op3. This means parts are finished every cycle, you never change clamps, and the operator doesn't have to change programs every single cycle. Your current method requires a full set of clamps for each op, which requires a lot of up front machining not to mention the change out every op. I bet changing clamps 10X's your part load time. I like your clamps, but in the time you spend making and designing them you could be half way done with your production run of the 1000 parts you actually need.
Nice, some real CNC machine porn there lol
LOL! Watching the machine is mesmerizing. I can't get enough of it! I hope you're doing well Ron!
your audio is little messed up some times loud sometimes really quiet
