Oddly enough the noise isn't speed up. I assure you that the video is real time. In fact with a machine that has enough power and torque this tool could run 3X faster in real time!
@fraisausa The noises that I'm hearing are typical material removal and corner-chatter when the traverse changes between the x- and y-axes (only)...where the radius of the tool and the pocket's corner radius are equal. I can't view the original comment, but am I correct?
Machining dry has advantages. Eliminating coolant and the disposal of it saves money and reduces machine down time for maintanance. With aluminum the main problems are good chip evacuation and material buildup on the tool, thats why air was used, tool coatings will also help reduce this.
Fraisa is the producer of this High Performance tool called the AX-FP. It is absolutely possible in the right machine and application to achieve 4 times the metal removal rate of this video.
The company I started working for had an old school bridgeport Mill guy running an ATrump Mill. He was running parts with carbide tooling and some tin coated carbide and running feeds and speed like running HSS (coolant very slow RPM/feeds). I reprogrammed 90% of their stock orders 15X faster with the right feeds and speeds. Longer tool life, saved coolant, 15X faster production. Company loves me...Old man Tom hates me...lol
Don't know shit about automated machinary but that was fucking awesome. That is aluminum block? How hot would be bit get? What is it made of? The temperature must be extreme. I see no cooling system (i.e. water spout on the bit). What material is the bit made of >>?????
First, aluminum is usually a demo material - very malleable and very kind on tool "bits." Secondly, if you pay particular atention to the right hand part of the screen, you'll see air blast hoses - a Vortex cold air gun I surmise. Lastly, running carbide tooling "dry" is actually better for the tool - when applied correctly, most of the heat goes into the cut chips and not the tool. The work piece and the tool should be cool to the touch immediately after cutting.
Fraisausa very nice, what feed, speed,step over, depth of cut and tool diameter are you using on the 6061. We machine a lot of Al, that is impressive. What cutter are you using and what is the machine, Kw, brand and size. Very interested in more info, do you guys have an agent in Australia?
What are the cutting specs?

almost looks like you used a circular interpolation using a G91, and shot right into a G150

For how much and where do you buy aluminum blocks like that? Is it much more expensive than the spot price per lb of aluminum?

I need to speed my tools up a bit if they can do that. I always run things slowly and it takes ages to machine anything.

I don't guess the speed and feed, but i guess video is 3X or 4X

use surfcam velocity and you would not have the chatter in the corners and could cut steel at that speed.

@03clipse
You just don't get it. No finishing pass was made in the demo, hence the chatter in the corners. Surface finish wasn't the point of this demo.
And you can't feed a cutter in steel that fast with the same stepover. No endmill on the planet will take 3000 SFM and 0.005 IPT in steel. Get real.

6061 is easy stuff. It's all about not overheating the material.

@soundspark "It's all about not overheating the material."
lol, like hell it is. Just turn on the coolant. There's no point in dry cutting aluminum unless it's for a video demo.
You must really suck at machining if you thinking overheating an aluminum workpiece is likely to happen, but less be a major challenge.
