This video features the Mikini 1610L CNC machining center circular interpolating a 1.660" hole in 1045 carbon steel using a 3/8 carbide end mill. 35% Spindle load. This part is for a press fit application on precision ground rod stock, circular to better than 0.001" TIR, with the whole part slightly eccentric on the shaft. Compared to 1018, consider that 1045 has over double the carbon content of 1018 (0.45% vs 0.18%) and Machinability of 1045 is 19% compared to 1018's 35%. Aluminum soft jaw also machined on the 1610L. The 1610L CNC machine was designed to be owned, operated and maintained by engineers, business owners and R&D shops. You can purchase this machine for $11,999. It runs on single phase power, is fully enclosed, and only takes 3'x5' of space. Perfect for your garage, small business, R&D lab or home shop.
