Thanks for watching! - Věda a technologie
the rising shot is epic. slick and precise!
Thanks...robots may have helped on those :).
Ah ... now I get this! I’m looking forward to see your mastery of this on a mill.
A lathe is the 5th axis
I also use the VMC as lathe. Works pretty well! Nice upgrade.
Jackpot! Great tool holding fixture! I was trying to sort out how I can make a repeatable tool setup that I wouldn't have to tear down every time I wanted to swap over to my vice... I think I'll do something similar to what you did... I've already got a "breadboard" that sits on my mill table. It has both holes for pins and treaded holes... That should bring me back to the same spot every time.
Thanks man! I'm glad it was of some use to you. Its been working well for me so far, I've had it on and off a half dozen times and it repeats closer then my mill can measure...works with me! I also have no idea why I wasn't subbed to your channel, always a joy when I come across a trove of new videos! Now to go a sleuthing to see if I can find this "breadboard" table you speak off :), fixture plates excite me.
@@CurtVanFilipowski I think you can see the breadboard in my milling videos. The guy I bought the machine from made it. He had 5 or 6 tormach machines and a few larger haas mills... I'm guessing he whipped them up on his Haas because the tormach work envelope isn't large enough... This mill turning is going to help me bring my products to the next level with custom fasteners and turned pieces... I'm super stoked.
@@GregsGarage Awesome, thanks! I'm pumped to see what you turn out😋 !
Hello, man that’s a sweet set up. Is that a home made lathe. Cool , good stuff man. Keep them video’s rolling and stay safe.
Very cool good job
Thanks!
Great video thanks
Thanks! Always fun to make.
thanks thanks for great info ...Without knowing much... what's best hobbiest mill to look for taig style with pass through large chuck? I'm so far behind on these tools but excited to learn .. thanks
Hello Curt Van Filipowski, I'm very beginner when It comes to these machines. I always try to fix little things that are broken, but always end up failing and breaking them.
I figured that I would machine to do the very precision shaping of the thing (plastic mostly, then some aluminium lets say).
It took me a long time to figure out that there are these miling and lathe systems.
Apparently I need more than 3 axis. Adding rotation to the miller sounded perfect to me.
I can do 3D shapes and use rotary motion to fix the rotary parts of the thing I'm repairing.
But for the life of me, I can't figure out what machine to buy and how to begin.
I check out these proxxong and I can't figure out how to add the 4+ axis on the milling machines.
What machine would you suggest for a beginner to do 4+ axis small scale very precise fixings?
I don't have the budget to go to automated CNC's immediately and work with 3D design applications, lets say that's the future plan.
But I want to start with somethign I can manually control, turn by my hand and do the work carefully.
Ability to turn the and mount the rotating part (rotating table) and change the orientation of it vertical/horizontal.
And maybe able to also make it turn like a fake lathe would also cool. But what do I know.
Awesome video! Curious what controller you are using? I was planning on going with acorn. but I'm not sure since I might have to buy a second license
Thanks! I've been using linuxcnc on my machines for the last forever and love it. With that said I have heard good things about Acorn. Linux has the edge for me because I enjoy the OS and I can run as many copies as I want.

Супер !
Anyone else read the title like 'Batman's a scientist!'
no, why?
What lathe is this?
It's actually a milling machine based around the G0704 casting (this version branded craftex as that's the Canadian equivalent machine) 👍.

he must be a leaf
I could hear the maple leaf dialect within 3 seconds of the beginning of the video. Hehe. Gotta love Canada.
@@jhon614 "Gotta love Canada." I'll have to politely disagree
I like your projects.. specially when you turn strong metal pieces on this lathe :))
