Great video 👍John love the tab test flop finish,I started listening to podcasts with saunders and grimsmo knives.They mention some funny moments in machining etc.
Thanks. I've listened to some of their podcasts, but paused on them when I learned about the Within Tolerance podcast. I should go back and forth between them. Thanks for reminding me.
What I've found using my HRT160 is that lower DOC adaptive clearing is the way to go with my 4th. I can't take anywhere near the DOC or FPT that I do in my vise, I mean, obviously right? My go to recipe is 0.04"-0.1" DOC at 240IPM with my 0.5" long reach endmill.
My machine has a maximum recommended size of 3/8" for end mills. It's a precision machine, so my usual DOC/WOC are what many would call light roughing.
Brilliant vises aren't they? I've also found it's amazing how well they can hold Al with surprising stickout. Doesn't work anything like as well with delrin as the material's fundamentally so flexible it's impossible even to face it held like that. For setting up the Y, Z and A zeros, I can't imagine a better advert for switching to a probe instead of a Haimer. Have a look at czcams.com/video/MoLmzCZ8Yis/video.html and you'll see what I mean. The results there were so good, I twice got my mental arithmetic wrong by a factor of 10 as I found it hard to believe repeatability down to micron levels on a humble Tormach mill.
I wish. I looked at buying a used probe, but it turns out the cost to enable the features required for a probe are about the same as the complete probe/tool setter package, which includes enabling all required features. In other words, about $6,500. Sigh.
@@JohnSL Ouch! Sounds like we're in the wrong business. At least those vises are very modestly priced. I have pair of them - one mounted on the table - and I love the things.
I'm not using the extension, as it's pretty expensive for my needs. So I'm using a single WCS along with the tool orientation option in each operation. I showed this in the previous 4th axis video.

@@JohnSL just interesting to just listen when trying to get on with other things.
Great video John! I really enjoyed it!
Glad to hear it!
Nice intro. Lol 4th rolling in the back.
Thanks 👍 My wife and I had fun doing that.
I am amazed at how well that vice held.
John Super Dad !
I know, right! Thanks.
Thanks for the video, neat project
Thanks for watching!
GREAT VIDEO
1 day to late, but May the 4th be with you!
Nice!
This does not seem to be a precise way of setting Y. If the vise is not centered ideally with the rotary axis of rotation.
Since you are working from the centerline of the spindle are your tool, offset all in a positive fashion?
Were you taking a lighter woc and doc since you had so much material stick out from the vise vs material supported in standard vise with parallels?

Nice John. What are you using as coolant?

I can see using a dead center if you get any flex. Not that I see any need yet.
Are you using the Rotary extension or just changing your WCS?

@@JohnSL awesome thanks for the info. I’ve been playing around with them and figured it out. Thanks for the reply!
I still wear the Q almost every day!!
@@John-ik2eg We did actually think it was a great name for a detective agency!
Fun replies Quincy!
ROFL!
You made an A on the A
