Kern Microtechnik is the BEST micro precision machine tool company in the world. A top notch company means top notch processes and standards—we’re talking machines that can produce and hold tolerances less than 2 micron or 0.00007″ (70 MILLIONTHS) of an inch. When cutting tools MUST be hand loaded because the resistance from the ATC […]
Flycutting a piece of aluminum stock on my TAIG CNC mill. 3800 Spindle RPM, 0.0008″ DOC (or 8/10’s of one thousandth), 4 IPM. Fly Cutter set to 2.4″ diameter. Very light passes, very slow speed, but beautiful finish. Lots of coolant and a properly-trammed mill. Visit www.nyccnc.com for more! 5 Reasons to Use a Fixture
Thermal growth affects part accuracy and repeatability way more than we realized. If you have tooling, workholding, and toolpaths dialed in but still have trouble with accuracy and repeatability, it may be related to thermal growth. Let’s talk about the importance of thermal stability, how slight, sudden changes in machine shop environment can blow tolerances,
Using Fusion 360 CAD and CAM to engrave an AR-15 / AR-10 lower receiver! In this video tutorial, we show how to copy a Glock logo from an existing Glock slide CAD model onto an AR-15 lower (just as an example) and then we create the text for the lower receiver! Engraving is done with
We live in an absolutely awesome era. To be able to handle this type of work – the speed, the quality, the customization – with a relatively small investment is absolutely amazing. Heck with old-school engravers or etching – let’s use ANY font or design we want! Even cooler? We use the Tormach PCNC 1100

#cnclathe #cncprogramming #automation How to program a dual spindle Haas ST-20Y CNC lathe in Fusion 360! Dual spindle lathes are incredible – and one of best ways to get into “automation” – but the key is having a reliable and efficient way to program them. By using part placeholders, templates, and user parameters in Fusion
Higbee Threads are awesome! Higbee threads provide more than a safe, nicely finished part. They also prevent cross threading. Let’s walk through how to lie to–I mean, program this in Fusion 360 and turn this thread on the Tormach Slant Pro! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Links for this video Leveling Up with NC Programs | https://bit.ly/2WLHX5g Sandvik PDX
