CNC Machining Videos (because they are orsome!)

I think there are enough people here that like to watch cnc machines in action that I decided to put up a thread where I will add a video now and then just for grins. Here is the first installment. I am testing feed rates on a 3/32" (2.38mm) drill. Due to it's tiny stature, before much reading and video watching, I would have never considered plunging such a tiny thing into metal at such an alarming rate. But, I did and it worked.

Love it !!! Keep ’em coming!!

Sure is nice to have a CNC mill in the garage eh? :smiley:

Man that’d be great ! Thanks for the video .

Nice Bucket! Makes me invious, I’m still cranking on those old handles.
What drill bit brand are you using, looks very sharp. I use Norseman, very sharp and stay sharp.

For once it wasn’t my sphincter puckering. I did have a smile on my dial though. How did you go running the plug tap through after the taper tap? :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for posting, I love watching these!! :+1:

I’m cominig over there :smiley:

I’ll bring the munchies. :beer:

Here is the promised pic of my home brew thread mill.

Looking at the picture, I realize that I really need to choke up on the length.

I am not sure what the brand is. I bought them from McMaster Carr. They do seem sharp though.

On a side note, I accidentally left my feed override at 140% while drilling with that bit today. Did just fine at 14 ipm. I didn’t even realize it for a few holes. I was looking at it drill and thought “Hmm, sure looks fast.” Then I realized it was on override and about crapped myself.

Thanks for the picture. Is it one piece that you have ground into that shape or three brazed together and then ground up? It sure is a piece of art.

It is one piece.

Well done. I’d have no hope of making a tool like that. :beer:

Thanks. Having seen your ingenuity, I think you could do it. It’s all about removing everything except the profile that you want cut. Then some clearance relief. Think of it like a HSS lathe bit. Just smaller in scale. And 2 flutes.

Video to come soon(ish)

Nice. :slight_smile: :beer:

I like. Looking forward to seeing more.

How sweet it is :beer: .

Nice!! Very nice…… :+1:
