Interesting! They are grinded. Wait so like these Kennametal's or Harvey grind those tools in hundreds of thousands of quantities?

I have a very big program for milling titanium. Seems like it would not be possible to complete in one day. How do I make three parts of that? the question is very vague but imagine removing materials from a part. It is taking bout 6 hours something. Basically, my machinist want to be able to stop at some point and re-start at the same poisiton which is tough for me to put stop in the middle of the program. Any ideas or suggestions? one idea was to mill a bit, create stock model. mill a bit again. Again create stock model and go on.

Just curious to how those endmills and cutters etc etc are manufactured and where.

4 FLutes. Carbide. Ball Nose endmill. it is a MON 63613 or MW21223001460B. Supplier's website is down and not showing up elsewhere.

okay, okay, I seee.... That is why it was stopping at .75 depth cut. I actually put DOC as .75! That is what I am using for the part. Thank you. Just skimmed through it. seems like a great video explaining all the parameters.

And I am trying High Efficiency Milling on Titanium hehehe. Using optirough. TOol is 6mm, 19mm LOC, 63mm OAL. Parameters are: stepdown - .748 or 19mm ; steup: 15 mm; Stepover: 11% or .0259 in ; SFM: 210 which is spindle speed of 3395 ; feed rate of 12.22. I am leading in as Profile Ramp Any suggestions if I could do better. Attaching pics of part as well for better view.

I think i kind of get it. It is useful at places where stepdown is not useful.

What is step up in dynamic optirough. What does it do? Is it any helpful?

Hello, I want to learn what Pencil parameters mean. Especially what are the Cut parameters and Steep/Shallow parameters. Is there any specific book or blog anyone know of? THanks in advnace!!

Hello All, Happy Christmas / Happy Holidays! Cheers to this year! Thanks to all the CNC experts out there who helped me! May the end of this year be warm and fulfilling! Cheers to strengthening our relationships to next year! See you all next year....

@crazy^millman @Matthew Hajicek - Singularity @Newbeeee™ @cncappsjames @Aaron Eberhard @Jake L @#Rekd™ @Kyle F @DUM1 @AMCNitro Honestly speaking, I have not yet thought about any Niche market or specific materials or size. My thought was whatever job I could fine, accomplish it with best quality. SO, I was thinking 5 Axis machine at first may be UMC 500. Becasue the market demands it. But at the same time, I do not have any concrete job work to do making my machine sit idle. Which I thought is the main thing as well. For atleast starting, I am open to both low volumes and high volumes. But in the long run, soft balance between those two is what I am looking. For now, not too big parts. My budget is arounf $125k. Last but most important thing, if you know any companies who is giving out work, please let me know. At the very least, we can all seat at a table and see where it will lead us. Feel free to PM me as well.

Mastercam! Load Solid part file, and save as Step file...

Haas vs DMG vs Mori vs Mazak vs Okuma vs Protrak (southwestern) vs Milltronics many more... Looking to buy new machine within budget of 125000 (starting new business). As a machinist and a programmer, what works the best with Mastercam and in general as well, which one is the best? One thing I could say is I absolutely love Mastercam!!! Any suggestion / recommendation for newbie like me. Tips n Tricks? Anything to keep in mind before venturing into this small business? Let's connect as well! My inbox is open. Thank you in advance!

Alright, here I come. Have something Connecticut special.
