Machinist Trick to NOT Break Tools

GENIUS CNC machining trick that all machinists can use to prevent breaking tools in dynamic milling toolpaths using Mastercam on the DN Solutions BVM 5700

I have nothing to do with this industry. Why I watch this shit is beyond me.

But now I know I can either do this or "face mill"? It.

I feel smarter and that's all that matters.

Edit: gave myself a thumbs up to show support.

Perfect trick if your job is to make aluminium shavings out of aluminium blocks.

[Bilgehan.]

Good trick but I prefer band saw for that big part removal. Than I face mill it. 😊

I just witnessed a removal of a large piece of metal, for no reason. Awesome technic.

Customer: why is my part $15, 000?

Shop: machine time and materials

OR, cut the part if you only need half

The center pillar of death has gotten us all. Much love

[Squirl]

OR... use a facemill to face mill parts. 👍

[alessandropolo]

guys, of course this is not the best way to do this specific operation.

It's meant to teach a way to avoid creating a single pin sticking out of a part that would be dangerous/time consuming to remove

[mechticulous]

It makes me cry a little when I see that much material being milled away because of how much steel and aluminum cost. 😢

A long time ago 1995 I was machining some titanium engine mounts for geae and we had a 2 2" deep pockets. Traditional MC pocket routine wasn't working well and was killing the job. I created a surface out of the bottom of the pocket with a circle radiating from center of pocket to each endpoint of pocket. Breaking the circle at intersection of line from center to said endpoint. Using MC I created a
Surface synchronized from circle to pocket. I ran a cut on surface using whatever the single surface cut was and created geometry out of that tool path I edited the geometry to include the center of our pre drilled hole. I sent that tool path to MC and asked them to make a pocket routine that mimics cut. That tool path routine became Morph which is what you demonstrated in this video. I really enjoyed your demonstration and find all your tips well done. Just wanted to share some origin of that tool path.

My brain is just like ‘why not cut it?’

[darrenu]

I'm in the bandsaw camp, but this does kinda show proof of concept. Could probably just chuck that piece in the lathe and part it if you like adventure.

[meatwad]

Neat solution. Not very common to just mill off this much excess material

[doctoralam]

Funny thing is that it still broke and flew off but was just hollow on the inside😂😂

[jenpsakiscousin]

In the mold business we keep a lot of tapered cutters around. Achieves the same result with less code, Orr in a prod environment, time.

Edgecam has a feature for dynamic roughing called "prevent chipping" and it actually alters the toolpath to never leave slivers or nubs. Other than that, Edgecam pretty much sucks.

[Obi-wankenobiyearsago]

Im so glad Wreck it Ralph was able to show us how to fix this!

[Bread_Gator]

A secret technique passed down through generations, Some even call it heretical. They call it "Spending an extra 30sec to do a job right"

Drill: "Am I a joke to you?"
