Crash Course in Milling: Chapter 1 - Basic Machine Anatomy, by Glacern Machine Tools

[Trainrek1]

I'm with agwhitaker on the comment; ".. 'crash' and 'milling machine' should not be used in the same sentence" yep, makes eyebrows and hair stand up.

[krcims]

Sweet I want one!

[AgentDexter47]

They even use gloves!

[741741741]

WOW EVERYTHING IS SO SHINY!

[17473039]

worth pointing out that on some milling machines, the z axis actually moves the table up rather than the head.

[agwhitaker]

It would be better if you avoided using the term "crash" and "milling machine" in the same sentence.

[MyanmesKenny19]

what kind is the manual mill???

[filear]

I'll take three!

[jam421]

beautiful...plz see if you can eliminate or reduce the background music as it's distracting....and makes it harder to pay attention to the words

[murph151]

you guys obviously don't cut much there... those things are way too clean. 

[poopdood321JP]

Something tells me that shop has A/C

lucky...

[DeusMalleus]

How does the quill turn while being lowered? Is it a ballscrew or leadscrew?

[Gingerpex]

@DeusMalleus the quill is doesn't rotate, it houses the spindle which is driven by a spline shaft which allows the vertical motion.

[guitarslf132]

I want one to make a guitar. I hear old ones are cheap to pick up for a couple hundred.

[Ohbuggery]

I want one. :(

[daveroker2002]

What about backlash elimination on the leadscrew?

[fivemoongroupksa]

technology -------- superbz

[omfg191]

Rubber gloves? Damn. This is even cleaner than my local Green Leaf shop/plant.

[72sherazkhan]

Nice Work

[GnosticFryingpan]

How the hell did they make the first one?

[aryesegal1988]

@GnosticFryingpan read about how were the first flat surfaces made... they referenced every cutting tool to them, and from there onward it was just a matter of cutting the right parts to build a milling machine ;)

[Oniashige]

Dude.....I love the background music in this video......I feel like I'm traveling through time....

[cambriacity]

Very informative, but kinda clean. No chips sticking to things there, no crud or dirt anyplace.. Oh, I know what is different.. There is LIGHTING there Going to watch the whole series later on this evening.

[VirtRampage]

everything is so cleeaaaaan there

[murph151]

@VirtRampage my guess is it's not a 'shop' it's a demo. those are brand new machines i'm guessing.

[ThunderGoat85]

@VirtRampage just the dirt is clean!

[delacerdaa]

What training do you need to start working in this field?

[88EricP]

@delacerdaa An education in CNC-technic. It's very fun. I wish i got this machine in my work. Have a old Matsuura 510V and makes EDM electrodes in graphite.

[iron1215]

@delacerdaa

go to a tech school and get a tool & die or mold maker degree.

Some places will train you but it really gets your foot in the door if you went to school for it.

[bobbobmarley27]

sweeeeeeet

[jtjoser]

For those that dont know what kind of machine that is... Its the infamous, Mori Seiki MV 653

[JugglingJake]

Damn that is the cleanest mill I have ever seen

[rukus100821]

there are machine shops that are clean and organized and they dont use there people like slaves.

[Jaffe125]

Yeah and what machine shop do you work at where its all clean and organized like that? lol

[kw757]

What kind of Vertical Mill is that? It looks brand new!

[PistonsNr1]

Now thats a huge pice of machine.

Just amazing

[tomclemans]

Nice series!!! Thanks for sharing it.

Several years ago I wrote a booklet with the title "Uncrash Course in CNC." (No one wants a machine to crash.) ;-)

[MisterRofltastic]

what is the song used?
