Lathe tooling thread gone?

[Billetburb]

Last night..Monday.. someone asked about insert lathe tooling. I posted a reply (I was about the 5th response) with a video link showing the different shapes of inserts being used (cnc)
I come back to post another one showing more of the same and its gone. My post count went down 1, and its not on my list in my CP:mad3:
No drama or trauma in the tread, just talking machines and chips:smokin:

Willing to post the links again? I would love to see the videos.

Great videos! Thanks :beer:

Did you bother to look back a couple of pages?

Thank you posting those links. If you have more you can upload them to video.google.com or youtube.com

There was another thread about cabides and lathe tooling here last night, different thread fromt he one linked above. Seems to be gone. I looked back a couple pages. Somebody probably deleted it. Not a big deal. That type of info is available on many machining boards.

Yea I did.... Different thread :flipoff:

No big deal..just wondered how they deleted it out of my account also.

Just in case you are confused:

Listen - I don't know WHAT you are doing over here. But you won't find out what the rabbit does on your lawmower in this section. :shaking:

The rabbit and the turtle died. Stayed tuned for my new used lawnmower threads for the next year. :flipoff2: I keep telling you people...I'm everywhere :D :roxy:

Damm CNC rocks:D :D
If I was to knock out those parts at home on the lathe I'd be there for the better part of the day on just the first bit :shaking:

Thanks for the vids

Rule # 1 here in Mayberry don't piss off:roxy:

how much programming is involved in something like that? i know nothing about cnc. do they just enter the drawing for the part and the machine figures out the cutting procedure?

[Billetburb]

These are all good, Okuma..:D

[SBChero]

man, those vids are absoutley fawking sick.

what would that last big one be called? (the third and second to last vid)

[Billetburb]

That is a Hexapod...that design has been kicked around for years but Okuma looks to have a production model. First one I seen about 6 years ago was made by Starragheckert......:eek:
I was unable to get to IMTS this year but I am hoping that Okuma will have a wheel machine...or something at SEMA. If so I will pick there brains about it.
The wheel machine is unreal to see...a alum wheel cut out of billet in less that 2 min per side..:eek: :smokin:

It's not that involved really. Fanuc controls use a G76 line or canned cycle in the program that only needs about 8 fields to be known;
Some are prepatory, others are the minor diameter of the thread, thread lead, end point, minimum cut and spring passes.
It's all very simple, unless the spindle encoder is failing.

The first two videos show the use of a laydown insert. I don't use them. Too many variables and area in contact. Also expensive because of the design, not the demand for use.
Single point inserts are the most practical. Inexpensive, long lasting and can easily be sharpened.
I make my own Micrograin tools for internal threads as small as #8.
I work with 101Cu, 200 series Ni, 404 Monel and some other exotics.

I love these demos vids also, always cutting ledloy or brass, :laughing:

The Okuma in the third to last vid is rigid tapping in the last procedure. That awesome stuff there, probably tapping an rpm of 5K and reversing the spindle, at speed, in a micro-second.

i guess that explains the high speeds cutting speeds and feed rates. i was going to ask about that.
