RASK PROGRESS, THREADMILLING, WORKHOLDING FIXTURES, 5-AXIS ROTARY TOOLPATHS, DIAMOND BURNISHING, GRINDING, SURFACE FINISHES, PROBING, & TOOL BREAKAGE DETECTION. KERN IT UP. Grimsmo machines his own ER 16 collet for the KERN! Wait until you hear about how he made this monolithic-integral ER. All this talk about holding parts on center brings back a good ol' Memory with Marv. Saunders recounts an accuracy test for cylindricity on the KERN--Swarf VS. Polar Interpolation in Garmisch- Partenkirchen. Threadmilling. Single Point or Proper Threadmills? Tool Standardization? The guys dive into threadmilling and tooling up machines; including single point versus proper threadmills, tool deflection, and whether or not to buy or DIY Collets. Regardless, the process needs to be reliable AND no matter how magical the brand of machine, it's still subject to the laws of physics. Click here for the Ultimate Guide to Threadmilling on NYCCNC (video and threadmilling calculator). HEAR ME OUT: The Synergistic Effect of CNC Theory. Saunders asks an interesting question, "Could the collets be made on the Nak?" At first it seems like an impossibility but with an open mind, new ways of thinking can lead to solutions you never could have imagined. Cogsdill Diamond Burnishing Tool on the Tornos: YAY or NAY? Grimsmo shares an update on the SAGA pen clips. Inconceivable---really! Saunders teases Grimsmo with the mind blowing video that's in the works. This Covid-friendly collaborative video about MetalQuest's INDEX MS40-8 will be about the harmony between machine capabilities and maximizing workflows. It's hard to imagine the back-work, which is all the more reason it MUST BE SHOWN! Get ready to reduce cycle time, increase output, balance cycle time between spindles, and more! Covid and Manufacturing: BIG GIANTS FALL HARDER. No one wants to speak too soon but there's been a sigh of relief that smaller manufacturing businesses haven't felt the same pain as the larger, often over-leveraged, companies. Seeing a "company consolidation" flyer in the mail for an aerospace company feels....weird. BUYER'S REMORSE? Does Grimsmo regret the large financial risk he took with the KERN given how 2020 has panned out thus far? TOTALLY REDEEMED AFTER BEING REAMED. A few episodes ago, Saunders called Grimsmo out for committing two cardinal sins of grinding. In order to make progress on the Rask, he decided to forego dressing and balancing the wheel before grinding the knife blade. Maybe Grimsmo's method of madness was intentional all along or maybe it was pure luck that resulted in the perfect recipe. EITHER WAY, IT'S FANTASTIC! Surface Finish Factors You hear about tool deflection, speeds & feeds, material type, and machine kinematics but what about presenting an even chipload/tool pressure to the cutting tool? Devon Dupuis from Autodesk and Saunders are collaborating on an OUT OF THIS WORLD part that relies on getting that chef's kiss finish. Random Ceratizit Clickbait Sometimes the algorithm provides.... Check out this video showing a new facemill with a vacuum/suction feature. ERP: Permanent Product and Material Location A big part of implementing ERP is deciding where things will be stored. It might sound easy to have a permanent location for parts and material but Amazon outright rejects that logic. The key is to make sure the item can be located anywhere at anytime.  The Johns wrap up this 190th episode with probing, tool break detection, and what's on tap for the day!

The year 2020 has not been exactly how we have imagined it. But it is in full swing for both Saunders' and Grimsmo, especially in the ERP department. Saunders' is cooking with LEX and Grimsmo is full GERP ahead.   Both John's and their teams have worked hard to make it happen this year. It is a great teaching lesson for anyone to make the best of what you have. Focus on the things you actually have control over and take a step back.   Grimsmo on the other hand is not happy with their Qualichen 450 and will be switching back to 251 for the time being. Also grinding rask blades on the Kern has been amazing! Saunders also touches on adding Shapeoko fixture plates to his lineup.   NYCCNC has a great article on advice for buying a machine tool HERE:

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE...where you might get a little misty-eyed. The cycle has ended; the coolant is off so WHY is the foam still growing!? With no through-spindle coolant and small ER collets, Grimsmo's got no explanation for the extreme coolant atomization--annoying problem but fun to say!   Saunders notices an off-white tinge occurs sooner than it should but instead of replacing it and shrugging it off, he examines potential root causes. Will sending samples reveal what's really going on? Improving Shop Environment Quality for $200? Yes, please. Saunders has been working to improve shop air quality. Between the Big Ass Fan, the ERV, and the new Fan/Filter Modification from Grimsmo's new lapping machine video, it's like a breath of fresh air. So far, it's working great but whether or not the charcoal filter will clog remains to be seen. Want to get an upgrade? Check out this NYCCNC page for a bill of materials. Double Dose AU Toronto pays Grimsmo a visit to talk Fusion 360. PLUS, the Elliot Matsuura APS Engineer stops by to talk machine tools and custom codes! What makes it Swissish? There's some fuss on WhatsApp about the  Tsugami SS327-5AX Swiss Lathe with B-Axis Pallets? Check. Code? Please wait. Grimsmo wants the code to complete for one pallet, rewind, move over, and start from the stop but there's one BIG problem: Fanuc and it's dinky memory size... Come on, MAN.  It's 2018!  You can't even BUY memory that small anymore!  To make matters worse, logic can't be used in the DNC side of memory which holds 2G (plenty of room).  So, that means 2-3 hours of alone time (hand coding) and the pallets should be good to go.   Tune in to hear about Grimsmo's end of 2018 thoughts AND outlook for 2019!

Grimsmo: I'm back...I think. GK: You sure? Grimsmo: *rolls into shop at 11pm to feed the lathe* Yep! Grimsmo's recovered from Blade Show 2018! VIDEO: Blade 2018 w/ALEC STEELE and more awesome makers! Delrin Bearing Cage QC Process--DIALED Debur. Pivot. Slip Fit. Insert Bearings.

Mistakes lead to new processes but make sure your new checklist stays-- in check! Read: The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get things Right  Forum on NYCCNC.com: Batch Flow VS. One Piece Flow TALK SHOP RE: Tool Setting Grimsmo's setting up different tools; touching off and centering them individually by using a dial test indicator in a Noga indicator in a collet. The guys mull over ideas to improve workflow. DIY CNC Turret Lathe? But WHY though? - we think we can - we want a dedicated, highly useful tool to make individual, magnetic, fixture plate hole PLUGS! VIDEO: DIY CNC TURRET LATHE Saunders/Hermle Sit Down Despite the cut-throat nature of the industry, Hermle holds a tremendous amount of respect for other companies who are doing it and doing it well! A rare sentiment these days. Gorilla Glass Curiosity Assuaged? Saunders reads the full e-mail aloud. "It is indeed similar to a Prince Rupert's Drop but a lot COOLER!"-Jason V. Sized Up and Soured What happened in Northeast Ohio? "A Machine tool is only as good as its last mile." PATREON ASKS, GRIMSMO ANSWERS! Grimsmo explores different avenues and decisions that brought him to where he is today. Cool products. Cool Tools. Staff to support the products and tools. "Is that a vision or is that just greed?" Grimsmo feels unfocused but from the outside looking in, Saunders gets a completely different picture! SMOOTHING If you're looking for some sweet duds, look no further!

Saunders and Grimsmo discuss the benefits of using this app as well as others for organization, research and other tasks.     Happy belated birthday to Grimsmo! According to Saunders, they  have now reached a new milestone: Boring Dad Birthday Age.   I'll take my FANUC macro book and be on my way now, thanks.    When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life gives you 62 Rockwell, you become....a cannibal?
