CNC was one of the best and most favorite jobs I've had. Can't get over how the milling tool is so precise and cuts so clean

As an "engineer" and an amateur machinist, I don't get excited over the slow motion machining, I get excited over the nice tooling.
Khaylain
Yeah, those tools are worth A LOT.

I can't believe I'm standing at my CNC mill, and watching these at the same time... I gotta find a hobby.

#6 how do you get it back out
girafficdesign
Probably an app for that.
solarstrife0
If the cuts go all the way through the block (and they should...) you'd just poke 'em a bit. Otherwise...magnet?
redjayhawker
That last gif- how do I get one of those cubes? Are they for sale? Please attach link. Ty.

That last one was done with wire edm though. I want one so bad.
MikeReese2
Tell me about it. My employer had a chance to buy a wire edm YEARS ago, and opted for the shaped electrode type. Dumb!

AAAAAHHHHH USE LUBRICANT DAMN YOU

There is always time for lubrication!
Lamborghinileglock
if ur asking than i assume u know the mess it makes, gets all over the place and into every crack, and at the end ur down a paper towel role
Spartan132
This guy gets it.
MikeReese2
It's probably aluminum ... still needs lube, tho
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
No liquid?? So daring...
icannotthinkofanyrationalname
I think these were just run for the video capture. Properly lubricated/cooled would be a mess. No pretty video.
thereverseapachemaster
No coolant is becoming standard in steels for better tool life. Carbide is more affected by constant thermal shock from hot to cold.
Khaylain
No coolant is the standard for HM carbide inserts. They last longer that way. For drill bits and HM mill bits you use coolant, partly to
Khaylain
flush the chips away from the cutting edges and partly because those bits need to be cooled.
Ravenbreaker
I punctured the back of my hand with an endmill like the one in #1. 10/10 don't recommend that.
railgap
When I was in the ER from having lacerated my hand cutting a bagel, the guy one bed/cubicle over had milled off the top of his thumb.
Ravenbreaker
Stuff is no joke lol
railgap
but wood working tools scare me more - sharper tools moving a LOT faster.
railgap
Happens to a lot of us. I air-nailed (small brad nail, thank god) my finger once. ^_^ Haven't managed to screw up with a machine tool yet.

I tell people I am a machinist and I get little interest, but I show people these kind of gifs and they love it.

Absolutely, people are like.....you do what.....when you tell them you're a machinist
MukieK
It's magical. drawing this stuff will help you appreciate it too.
thatwoodguy
Ever seen a gear made by E R Byers? Thing of beauty
TheGreyKnightsBANNED
A machinist? Does that mean you got the tools to make awesome shit out of metal? Like medieval armor and shit?
kingrex1997
thats more sheet metal work and blacksmithing than anyhting, unless you want to hollow out a hunk of metal the size of a human torso.
TheGreyKnightsBANNED
But you can still make cool shit right?
AnotherExhaustedMillenial
Dude right? I work for a factory that builds live and dead centers. I work with my machinists constantly. This shit is addicting to watch
butsir
i enjoyed parts of machining but then it just becomes pull a part out clean put a new one in hit run. i like doing it manually.
afasttortoise
In my shop we use magnets to hold our parts so the chips stay stuck to the part if they aren't already blown away by an air hose
kingrex1997
wouldn't the chips being stuck to the part kill tool life, recutting chips never bodes well in my shop.
afasttortoise
We use compressed air to follow the tool to get rid of the chips for the most part
afasttortoise
But we also use a hand air gun to help sometimes too, tool life is still pretty good
SilentMajority420
A masochist? That's cool I guess.

If you can do something like the last thing. I'd buy it

How do I become one?
Irongient
Apply for a job at a machine shop. Show up every day and don't make scrap and you'll progress quickly.

Does whatever shop you work at take on smaller odd jobs for milling thin aluminum panels?
Wholling73
My dad's a machinist and I do work for him pretty often... I just showed him this and he was like "oh yeah it's just the best until 1/2
Wholling73
You get a bunch of them in your arm or leg.. 2/2
Frederf
Chips are suck (esp. not Al) but coolant is the worst. I looked like a Simpson.
ImAfraidYoureAllPsychosSoIMadeThisAccount
Yes, or have your wife get mad because you drag chips into the house, all over the carpet. :(
MayaMacskusz
Or for ruin the washing machine.
Wholling73
My mom does office work at my dad's shop and complains that the chips get in her shoes when the guys drag them in to the office

Wearefarmers
I hate these gifs. Im a home hobbiest with a very capable machine shop, and this shit never EVER happens.
CheeseIsNaturesFudge
Do you use carbide?
Wearefarmers
Yes, but it doesnt matter. The mill isnt heavy/rigid enough to run big cutters at that speed without harmonics.
CheeseIsNaturesFudge
Well yeah that is the big issue, but if you're lucky a 4mm deep cut with an ø50 insert endmill 25% of the cutter width will work on anything
CheeseIsNaturesFudge
Oh, and a 45° cutter, they convert some of the cutting force to vertical so they can chatter way less and also give a great finish.
palemachinist
I agree. Machining is not all that pretty, especially if you use coolant.
Wearefarmers
Or machines from the previous century.
Irongient
I work in a machine shop and this stuff is every day. Half million dollar machines and the latest CAM and cutters.
Wearefarmers
I have a 18x48" 1980 comet mill (bridgeport clone) and a 1992 amiak 17x40" amiak gearhead lathe. Net total is about $10,000 :P
DanLeeb
High speed machining in aluminium looks just like this if you turn the coolant off.
Wearefarmers
Not on my mills it doesnt.
RadmanTheWise
You need a camera that captures at 2500fps at HD quality. And a bunch of studio lights. Not worth it imo
Wearefarmers
And a half-million dollar CNC machine. And fresh carbides on a $2-3000 cutting head...
DonteHaversham
What kind of milling machine do you have?
Wearefarmers
Its an old comet i bought new in 1980 ish. Bridgeport clone in great shape, great mill, i just dont machine stainless much :)
QuadrumanousCuddler
Clapped out Bridgeport
DonteHaversham
Well theres your problem loll! Id guess that most of this footage is from a cnc with optimal speed/feedrates. Especially the big cutters
Khaylain
Can confirm that feed/speed has a big impact on your results. Source: I'm using a CNC mill at work. It's fun and useful.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
So you're actually a "fine precision manual engineer" ?
kingrex1997
eh probably works with CNC
ComeJoinTheMurder
Unless it's a smaller company but I think there's no shame in CNC, it's just better.
Irongient
If you're a good machinist, you deserve a good CNC. Skill shouldn't be wasted cranking handles. Get a servo to do that part for you.
gazxog42
We put servos on manuals too, especially for bug stuff, nothing like push button and watch
Khaylain
Fine precision CNC operating engineer. CNC is so damn useful. Making curves and everything a lot easier than we coud before.

Fine precision machining. Damn engineers try to take credit for everything.

god damned engineers. Always thinking they know what welding is. Engineers, what a bunch of bastards

Lol, I weld

"If it ain't broke, take it apart and fix it." Engineer creedo
MehHat
Now a days we have cnc laser welders that engineers can write programs for that will weld and take the extra material off :]
Khaylain
If you need to take material off, you ain't doin' it right. "A grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't"
rawwestdog
And who runs those machines lad?

Who designed those machines bro?
