I may agree with some. But remember, it is old. Guy's are still Bitching about tooling. Don't even Know what it is, let alone the speeds and feeds! Can you apply what you learned on this to the next Material. Inconel. Hastaloy-C 303 12L14 Light Alloys. "Other" Same tools used for all materials. Some are on the right track. HP is for finishing though. HF is for roughing. Being able to hold is key. Some tools max out @ 25HP Don't want to run that "Manual Machine" TC

There is nothing wrong with using coolant and carbide.

The guy that was in charge of this project wouldn't listen.

Same shape, diferent Dias and materials,

After he broke a couple 100. in tooling I showed him how easy it was in the tough shit.

Setting up to be stable for a button pusher is the hard part.

Nothing I post is really hard to do.

Just want to show the basics of what can be done.

Check out my 316 vid if you want to see it dry. I cut warp poblem out in the prep op.

Not my hands! I had the lines set to do what they needed and not spray all over the place, like they did! This was a family of parts. He got away with bad methods till this material.(The hands) My way was quicker than the butter parts he cut before. He no longer works for us, or the place he went to. My 316 and Unist vid is another one I had to fix. That is just basic roughing also. Finishing details, I really don't want to post. I said "Hit it" Voices no longer work 4us.

304 may be soft but its definitely not an easy machine. 304 is the garbage of stainless. Its so unpredictable. One batch may cut nice and those same speeds and feeds on the next batch may cut like shit. While I agree Inconel is difficult, this shit hes machining is far from saying its easy machining.

Thanks, sounds like you know too!

This was a short run of many similar parts.

Given to apprentice with minimal guidance.

304 tubing was the bad of the lot.

His ideas worked for the softer shit.

I saved his two parts with broken endmills in them!

Saved his ass, and still had time to take video!

Any questions, just ask.

Many are still talking about the material!

The machine!

When will we have improved toolpaths?

Show us.

What tool did you use?

[TheBodvarg]

@thehealguy then use positive inserts do not use coolant with carbite or slow down the feed

[poorboykennels]

first off its CARBIDE inserts lol and i use coolant on all mine i even use it on the manual machines when im milling d2 or tool steel

[TheBodvarg]

why in hell are you using coolant with the carbite inserts ?

[difficile1000]

put your hands near the work area ??????? crazy!!!!
