Podcasts about swarf

On Thank God It's Friday, Richard Glover is joined by Alex Lee, James Colley and Tommy Dean as they discuss Trump's attack on Kevin Rudd, the plan to ban TikTok and the rise of “shrinkflation”.

Back in February I had the pleasure of being interviewed on the MTD Podcast, an excellent podcast about machining in the UK. Hosts Joe Reynolds and Giovanni Albanese grilled me about a lot of our favorite topics featured on Swarfcast, like treasure hunting, reshoring, Trump, and Swiss CNCs, which my British counterparts often call “sliders.”  […] The post Ep. 115 – Treasure Hunting, Swarf, and Sliders with Noah Graff first appeared on Today’s Machining World.

This podcast is GOOD VENTING and BAD VENTING all things manufacturing and entrepreneurship. Blade to the Grindstone After taking Saunders's advice (perhaps a bit too literally) Grimsmo takes a Zedaro Miltera Endmill to a knife blade and ends up with an incredible surface finish but the grinding wheel was another story... Throughout the talk of grit, mesh, and desired results, Grimsmo casually drops a bombshell---and Saunders calls him out immediately. PSA CHAMFER OR CORNER ROUND YOUR DANG PARTS A prospective hire for SMW finds it surprising to see how much deburring is done inside the machine! The guys highlight the benefits of chamfers and creative ways they've used different types of endmills to get that beloved edge break. Plus, Saunders shares his process for the SMW Diamond Dowel Pins, which come off the lathe a fully finished product. BUT, BUT....I WANTED IT TO BE COOL! Grimsmo laments the fact that he's using something a lot more simple than a Swarf toolpath but he knows the more simple, less exciting one still gets the job done.  FRICKIN' FREIGHT Without rhyme or reason, a national freight company adds limited access fees or lift gate fees that really aren't sustainable for SMW long term. Obviously, it's a problem that will need solving but how much action does it require? Saunders decided to take action based on an interesting strategy. THE BIG GOOD VENT Saunders shares his thoughts on things he's learned about hiring people and buying machines. HACK IN FUSION Selecting multiple chains of a sketch or contour can be a hassle, especially if you want to use that same geometry for multiple operations. VIDEO COMING SOON! Grimsmo's been learning better workflows, component structures, how to organize and lay out sketches all while keeping in mind future Grimsmo Knives employees. Fixturing & Tooling Standardization Grimsmo gives an update on the Norseman and while they're still able to make 6 knives daily, he's thinking about redesigning the fixture. The 2 long dovetail clamps on at each end causes the fixture to bow. The Johns discuss possible solutions and luckily, this is what SMW is all about! Standardizing tooling doesn't sound exciting but once you've implemented it, it's like seeing something you can't unsee! MINDS THEY ARE A CHANGIN'--and that's a good thing! RoboDrill replacement was going to be a Haas DT-2 but another consideration is MUCH more important to SMW than the fast rigid tapping.        

Supplying quality conscious market sectors such as the automotive, aerospace, electronics and rail industries is why Cannock based Key Precision has put its faith in machine tools from Citizen.   Down the years, the Staffordshire subcontract business has placed its stock in Citizen, installing three A32 sliding head turning centres in 20-13 and more recently adding an L32 Type 8 with LFV and an Iemca Boss 338-HD barfeed unit. Like any other subcontract manufacturer operating in high-value supply chains, the ISO: 9001 and AS: 9100 accredited company has to have productivity and cost-down considerations at its core.   This is why Key Precision specified the Citizen, as Greg Jackson told MTDCNC:   “The machine is great, but the problem we now have is that we can’t get enough bars on the L32.   We have a particular component that we were making five at a time. W   ith a few tweaks, we managed to get from 5 parts to 50 on an alternative machine, but now with the Citizen we’re running 500-off lights-out without intervention.   Now, the barfeed is running out of stock before we get a chance to re-stock the machine.” This is clearly a great problem to have for the subcontract business, as it was previously having issues with swarf wrapping and the necessity for an operator to remove string like swarf from the work envelope for machining to continue.   By adopting the LFV technology, Key Precision can now run its parts lights-out massively increasing productivity. Referring to the particular batch-production part that has been improved, Greg says: “The bearing retainer part is produced from 7075 aluminium with a 10 micron tolerance on the diameter all along the length.   Originally we planned to have the parts ground, but the consistency of the Citizen and its LFV means we can eliminate that operation and drop finished parts out of the machine in a single hit.” “We are running the machine in non-guidebush mode with a stroke of 80mm; and using the full stroke, we can still comfortably hold tolerance and we can probably machine in the realms of 3XD.   In addition, the LFV system is ensuring that the swarf is breaking off in very small chips, so we’re not getting any damage on the part.” “We are now looking at different ways to get the bars off the machines, as in some cases, our collection system cannot contain the high-quantity and frequency of the parts.   Additionally, we have to be careful not to damage any parts, especially on tight tolerance work.” Discussing the new Citizen L32 in general terms, Greg says: “The work envelope is very spacious for us to get into the machine and access tools and workpieces.   Additionally, the door is very large, and the access is more comparable to that of a larger fixed head machine.   There is also a back door to get to the tools from the rear.   We have four driven tools at the front end with the option to put an arm in there for a manual B-axis, so we can go up to seven tools.   We also have five live tools at the back and three deep hole drilling tools next to the sub-spindle.   We have used this on quite a few occasions when you need extra-long drills that can go next to the sub-spindle, providing there are no clashes with the back-working tools – we have drilled over 180mm deep on the machine.” As well as the LFV system for swarf breaking, Key Precision specified the Citizen machine with medium pressure coolant supply.   As Greg Jackson says: “This particular L32 model only has the LFV system on the main spindle, so we put medium pressure coolant supply on the machine with 80bar pressure. This enables us to clear any swarf from the back-working tools.”

Paul and the team are joined by Swarf and Chips' very own Lyndsey and ROMI UK's General Manager- Eduardo Paiva. Recorded from the recent ROMI open house, we find out all about ROMI's machine tool background and discover their history in casting and even car manufacturing! The company produced its first machine tool in 1941 but it wasn't branded ROMI... Can you guess what brand it did have? Find out in today's episode of the MTD Podcast.
