Which 3D modeling software used for these CNC machines ?

[kaszubaf]

@cambazct We are using Mastercam X4

[kaszubaf]

@cambazct Autocad is to draw the part. Mastercam is to convert a 3d drawing to tool pathing language for the machining operation.

I'm interested in investing in a CNC machine. Do you happen to know the average cost of such a machine? I've heard it's quite substantial. Thanks!

[kaszubaf]

@Nexis Small CNC Lathe - $175k and about the same for a small CNC Machining Center

Whoever programmed this does not have a clue, all the time saved by using high speeds & feeds, is lost through wasted motion. The only time the machine makes money is when it's cutting!!!

[kaszubaf]

You are right, this video was taken when first proving out the process/program, this is certainly not the final version.

Machining 101 with all the YouTube experts - you are all so very smart.

I for one, value your input.

why the hell was this video recommended for me?

@graylab2 In all honesty, on an older machine like this, and as small of a part as it is, you would waste almost the same amount of time in rapiding Z away from the part, Rapiding X and Y to position and then Rapiding Z back to the part as it does to just continue in feed to the desired position, the only time you gain a lot in Rapid Feed is when You have a large distance to move, and how do you know if the operator had the feed and rapid Over Ride set to 100 percent to start with?

@graverobber35 becouse oil reduce friction - less friction = lower temperature of cutting tool = longer time it stay sharp

nice

[enzt2002]

check 4 prices on hass.com & ebay.com 175k u could buy 2 or 3 new one's

[graverobber35]

why is this done dry, wouldn't the cutting tool stay sharp if you used some sort of oil?

@kaszubaf WOW WTF $175k, and I wanted to make 1 myself lol, but this steel milling cnc, and I need for copper and aluminium, how much it will cost for cnc that milling copper and aluminium?
