Running a machine shop means juggling jobs, customers, employees, and the unexpected—usually all at once. For years, Stuard of Monarch Manufacturing tried to keep everything in his head and on scattered spreadsheets. But as his shop grew, so did the chaos.In this episode of the Impractical Machinists Podcast, Sam joins us to share how implementing an ERP system from ECI gave him something every shop owner craves: control, visibility, and peace of mind. With the system in place, Sam's team gained clarity on scheduling, job tracking, and profitability—while customers got more transparency and confidence in the work being done.Sam opens up about what life was like before ERP, the lessons learned while scaling a shop, and how freeing himself from constant firefighting changed the way his business runs. If you've ever wondered whether an ERP system could actually make a difference in a small-to-mid-sized shop, this conversation is a real-world look at how it can transform not just operations—but the day-to-day life of an owner.Connect with Sam here.
Machining aerospace alloys presents challenges to tool performance. A comprehensive strategy is essential to achieve optimal performance while avoiding process-limiting issues. These alloys are ideal for high-stress components due to their strength and heat resistance. However, their poor machinability stems from high strength and low thermal conductivity. Effective strategies encompass optimising cutting parameters, utilising advanced tool materials and coatings, and employing efficient cooling and lubrication techniques. Implementing precise toolpaths and chip evacuation can significantly enhance performance. “The biggest issue when machining high-temp alloys is heat,” says Danny Davis, Senior Staff Engineer Solutions at Kennametal. “We need to take special care in managing the heat through correct speeds, coolants, coatings and substrates.” Where is the heat coming from? Heat generated during cutting does not dissipate easily into the workpiece or chips when compared to other materials. This forces the tool, and sometimes the part, to bear the thermal burden. Every machining operation is essentially a thermal system where electrical energy enters the spindle and converts into kinetic energy (tool rotation and movement) and heat (from plastic deformation). During chip formation, three distinct phases occur: Rubbing, involving pure friction Plowing or plastic deformation, where approximately 90% of energy becomes heat Shearing, where actual chip separation occurs but still generates significant heat “Thermal energy is the biggest factor damaging the cutting edge,” said Steve George, Senior Manager, Product Design Engineering at Kennametal. Ways to Manage Heat in High-Temp Alloys Use tools designed for efficient cutting by reducing specific cutting energy—the energy required to remove a unit volume of material. Tools like HARVI™ I or HARVI II reduce cutting energy through optimised geometries and coatings. Deploy advanced coatings such as Kennametal's KCSM15A grade, engineered specifically for high-temp alloys. Its smoother, thinner layer retains a sharper cutting edge while enhanced abrasion resistance makes it ideal for aggressive nickel-based alloy conditions. Increase lubrication with high-pressure coolant systems or minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) to reduce thermal loads, particularly at high cutting speeds. Lubrication cools and separates contact surfaces, directly reducing energy converted to heat during rubbing and plowing stages. Use tools made of insulating materials like ceramics or certain coated carbides. Since high-temp alloys have poor thermal conductivity, heat stays near the tool. If the cutting tool conducts heat better than the workpiece, it absorbs more heat and wears faster. Minimise contact time during chip formation. Traditional milling involves constant contact, increasing heat due to extended machining time. Dynamic milling uses smaller radial engagement and keeps the cutter moving with less surface contact. Coolant and Lubrication Best Practices High-temp alloys require strategic coolant management: Water offers excellent heat transfer but poor lubrication. Combat abrasion with coolant rich in extreme pressure (EP) additives. Air aids chip evacuation when coolant isn't viable. Neat oils provide superior lubrication but are reserved for extreme cases due to maintenance requirements. Placement matters as much as volume. Ensure coolant hits the cutting zone directly—poorly aimed nozzles waste coolant and leave tools vulnerable. Tools like the HARVI IV series offer through-tool coolant delivery. “Higher coolant concentrations help reduce abrasive wear and manage heat when machining high-temp alloys,” said Katie Myers, Product Manager Marketing at Kennametal. “High-pressure through-tool coolant ensures effective heat removal and chip evacuation, crucial for tool life and part quality.” Using Ceramic Tools in a Dry Environment Ceramic tools offer unique advantages when machining high-temp aerospace alloys. Their extreme temperature resistance makes them well-suited for dry cutting where traditional carbide tools struggle. “When we discuss ceramic tools, we're almost always talking about dry cutting,” explained George. “You need careful setup because ceramic tools are much more sensitive to tool path and workpiece geometry.” Managing heat without coolant is key with ceramics. George noted, “Heat is obviously a big concern with high-temp alloys, but ceramic likes heat. We want to generate heat and eliminate it quickly.” George advised avoiding re-cutting and ensuring good chip evacuation to prevent premature wear or failure. He suggested specific motion strategies: “Step the walls of pockets. As you step down, move away from the wall with each pass. This keeps the tool away from the heat zone and helps prevent excessive burr formation.” Effective Approaches for Solid End Milling of Aerospace Components Pocketing Techniques and Methods of Entry: Many aerospace parts feature deep, complex pockets requiring proper entry strategy and cutter selection, especially in materials prone to work hardening and thermal stress. “Pocketing is one of the most common aerospace operations, but it can be tricky with high-temp alloys,” said George. Plunge entry works best for small pockets with limited space. HARVI I TE or HARVI II TE solid end mills plunge directly into material, offering high flexibility for tight spaces. Ensure cutting forces don't exceed machine capabilities. Ramp entry suits deeper pockets and allows more aggressive cutting. Straight angle ramping can significantly reduce cycle times but requires machine rigidity to withstand higher forces. Helical interpolation provides the most stable and efficient pocketing strategy due to lighter depth of cuts. Corner geometry requires careful consideration. Oversized tools can cause excessive radial engagement in tight corners, increasing wear and chatter. “If you have a half-inch radius corner, use a three-quarter-inch diameter tool, maybe even 5/8,” said George. “Use a small enough tool to follow the corner arc without gouging or over-engagement.” Minimising Chatter and Maintaining Rigidity: Chatter often stems from machine-tool interface issues with high-temp alloys. Even the best tool can fail if the spindle or machine lacks rigidity to absorb cutting forces. “Chatter occurs when there's too much movement between tool and part, leading to inconsistent cuts and tool wear,” explains Myers. “The best way to reduce chatter is ensuring your machine has sufficient rigidity.” If chatter persists despite adjusting stickout and tool selection, reduce depth of cut to lessen cutting forces instead of slowing feeds and speeds. This keeps vibrations in check without impacting cycle time. “Even with a robust machine, combining long stickout and weak spindle can lead to chatter. It's about balancing tool size, rigidity and cutting force,” George says. Cutting Parameters and Tool Life Tool longevity directly relates to cutting parameters. Running tools at correct speeds, feeds and chip loads ensures maximum tool life while preventing premature wear. Speed is crucial when machining high-temp alloys—too fast burns through tools quickly. Chip thickness is equally important. Light radial engagement without proper feed compensation leads to rubbing rather than cutting, generating excess heat and accelerating wear. Wall Stiffness and Support Geometry When machining features like blisks, isogrids, or blades, geometry plays a critical role in maintaining part stability and minimising deflection. Adjacent or curved walls often reinforce features, offering opportunities to exceed standard roughing rules. “The curvature of the blade actually adds stiffness to that part,” said Davis. “These rules are guidelines. If the wall has curvature, adjacent walls, corners, or bottom radii—all add stiffness.” Conclusion Machining aerospace components from high-temp alloys demands more than just the right tools—it requires a comprehensive strategy addressing heat, rigidity, toolpath planning, and part geometry. Using the right strategies keeps you ahead of the solid end milling curve in machining complex aerospace parts.
The air conditioning and refrigeration industries are asking Congress to chill an EPA initiative started under the Biden administration to change refrigerants used in AC units. The EPA move seeks to respond to climate change by changing to refrigerants such as propane, which is highly flammable. To further complicate matters, there's a phase-in period with transitional coolants. We speak with Bob Cochell, owner of Gulf Coast Air Systems, former president of the Florida Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Contractors Association, and longtime advocate for the HVAC industry.

On this week's episode of Grease the Wheels, Uncle Jimmy goes into what the internet thinks is the top 10 causes of cars breaking down. Some of these haven't been relevant in almost 30 years, while some of these we have never seen once in our wrenching careers - this is a bit dated so we have a fair bit of fun with it. In a weird semantic sort of argument, a lot of these are more “reasons why your car isn't working in the first place” rather than the cause of mid-trip breakdowns. We also get into some of the incredible advancements in user friendliness that cars have baked into themselves over the past 50 years, as well as Uncle Jimmy's own personal “I wasn't home yet!” experience. Coolant, charging systems, and tires are more the culprit to modern breakdowns, but you already knew that! This is a jam-packed, double-barrelled episode that you are not going to want to miss even though you probably won't learn anything! Wait, we lied! Tune in for how to easily diagnose starter motor batteries on some of your various high voltage, mild hybrid vehicles.Also Uncle Jimmy lists his favorite repair manuals.
