For some reason Mach ignored the tool offset i had just set. 4000rpm, full rapid, carbide spot drill. Spot drill tip was shattered and the rest shoved back in the holder. Re-trammed head and everything back to normal.

  • I would be embarrassed to show this. Whats with all the wrenches and tools next to your workpiece? I would be unemployed if I worked like this. So sad if you are American.

  • @CHIsk8erALVA Wrench for drawbar, vise, and deburring tool. Its at home, I can do what I want.

  • one important thing iv learnt, a machines programming software never stuffs up its always the operators fault. i use cncs everyday and if one was playing tricks on me id never trust it again

  • @jmilligan151 Then you are not using Mach3. It does have bugs, like the G28 issue in one one my other videos, "Mach3 Error". Mach is good for what it costs but there are issues like treading on a lathe. One day it will work, next day it won't. A lot of people have this problem. Turns out the original programmer of the code wrote it wrong but the guy that does it now won't fix it because it works good enough. I have learned to work around the bugs, just like the one in this video. No problems now

  • Haha. This maschine is an oldtimer. Clean your working area first, before milling

  • @Kotnascher85 That is clean!

  • You like to spot drill a lot deeper than I usually do.

  • Single block and slowing the feed and rapid down for the first run would've saved ya on that one. I never enter and offset and run at full speed first time around. That would be dumb

  • dont have to go too fast...

  • Oops !

    

  • nennt sich Anbohren ...

  • hey there is a little mess there i dont care were in the hell you are from in this world at one point in time during your machining career you will have your own space look like this rather its private or commercial so quit with the complanning besides its not your mill ow and never trust mach i just go through the g and m codes by hand after the post processor codes it to the machine that is were it most likely glitched

  • @CHIsk8erALVA Shut the fuck up. Nobody gives a shit if your all neat and tidy. We just get the job done. Now go do umm... do metric shit or something.

  • @SupermaxCNC That's cool man. I do side work myself out of my garage too. It just kills me when I see this kind of carelessness that's so obvious. Keep all your fingers and avoid any injury brother.

  • I always send the tool to z3. on the approach. That a way i can tell if something is not set up correctly. Gives you a split second to react.

  • How about using feed hold and looking at your distance to go. I do that on every new program I run.
