High feed is the way of the future. and smaller DOC's means Smaller stepdowns on form cutting. You are much closer to your finish shape after roughing for your next operations with smaller step downs.
Agreed, up on blocks is not the most ideal setup and takes away rigidity. But was our only option.
You'll probably see it for yourself if you ever work in tool shops.
5 axis machine, so I'm guessing the tall setup was for head clearance. I can almost guarantee that was the reason, as checking fixtures sometimes have large undercut areas. Thus the reason for tiling the head, and needing clearance.
Unless I'm missing something, why the tall setup to begin with? I don't see anything justifying not mounting to the table. I do agree though that a vary precarious setup nonetheless. BTW I LOVE the Harbor Freight comment. too funny
Really!! the 123 blocks!!! ahahaha. A real machinist would make his own riser plate... By the way, 1100IPM??? Dude the machine doesnt even have the chance to accelerate to 1100IPM. lol. I would make a more rigid setup and do bigger cuts like .200 DOC. NOW THAT WOULD SOUND NICER THAN THIS :-D
LOL, wow that is such a hairy setup with the 123 blocks and strap clamps. Did you get em from harbor freight?
At 1100 IPM, things go wrong fast. Maybe you should invest some time or money in buying/making some solid risers rather than using your existing, ridiculous setup.
Is it 5 axis? Is that why your workpiece is on risers?
thank you-

A monkey can run a machine... A good machinist is someone that can come up with creative setup solutions to any given part design.

And it is ALUMINUM
If you knew anything about machining you would know how aluminum machines... the sky is the limit really.
Newer cutter technologies on Aluminum specific cutters are so free cutting, the cutting itself is almost effortless for the cutters.
AND
This is a Deckel Maho DMU 200P machine..

BTW they are 2 x 4 x 6 blocks you noobs.

Thank you Dan. Fianlly a comment from someone logical and educated and not just toting his "i'm a better machinist than you" horn!
You are exactly correct. We need head clearance and that was the only setup the boss was willing to pay for. Never had a single issue.
Keep your narrow minds people and you will never succeed as machinists.
CNC Technology will always advance and evolve and you'll have to keep up. Open Mindedness is the key to machining.

Ive machined this fast before. I had it in G00 before i entered a canned cycle. So in other words.........i machined this fast BY ACCIDENT
