  • with such high spindle and feed rate speed wont the tool wear out faster?

  • @snuski the round bar thats being cut is probably a brass alloy 1/2 hard which is a very free machining type of material. The carbide turning tool would be rated for this type of speed and material. The tool should be able to turn chess pawns for at least 50 plus hours without any significant wear and even hold their diameter to within .003-.005". (Flood coolant being used of course)

  • @chipsmcgee its easy you just have to learn the basic codes and then use a cycle that you programe with a seperate sub programe take some classes at college or something i just made a whole chess set today its fun fun fun :) btw i started with siemens 840D turn if you want the codes for a chess pawn just message me ;)

  • updated version of the video is available "cnc chess pawn in 37 seconds"

  • large fast AC spindle motor drives the spindle, the axis motors are AC servos driven by the CENTROID CNC control. the program was generated by CENTROID's own Conversational programming software built right in the control, no cad/cam needed. you can see an updated higher res version of the version of the video is on CENTROID's youtube channel

  • @CentroidCNC hey there great programme, did you programme it manually? if so where would you start i would love to be able to generate something like this :)
