CNC Machining an aluminum part | Hermle C400 | SolidCAM | iMachining

Just Machining - 01

In this episode of "just machining" I show you the first cnc machining operation of an aluminum part I had to do. With some nice iMachining paths, roughing, thread cold forming and milling, fine boring and much more!

The part has some critical tolerances, this is why you will sometimes see the same tool changed in twice. This is to have one pure roughing tool and a separate finishing tool.

⚠️ Please do not mill / drill aluminum dry! This is just for video reasons and will kill your tools and parts.

No comments, just machining. Exactly what I’ve been looking for.

[FrenziedFruitcake]

Nice video, there aren't many channels that show the whole process. And i appreciate all the speed and feed information throughout the video.

[ksanalyticalsystems]

Great work and nice to see I'm not the only one who's ever welded aluminum to steel.

[danielmcdowell]

I love videos as a machinist myself I really appreciate all the speeds and feed and tool info you put in and the cam work is on point keep it up you got yourself a new subscriber. I just sat and watched all your videos back to back and the only let down I found was there wasn't more to watch so I got the bell on so I never miss a new on.

[FrenziedFruitcake]

At 11:30 you can see what i think is the roll tap deforming material into the pocket. Looks like the hole is very close to the pocket so very thin wall thickness.
Probably a good idea to drill and tap that hole before milling out the pocket.

I am a seventy four year old retired toolmaker. Your inclusion of technical difficulties really caused me to smile. When the program states g0 wrong direction;, the show is already over. I was expecting a hammer at the end, but from the carousel. Beautiful machine and part!!

[TonySax]

I enjoyed this video! Especially at the end! People have no idea how long it takes to program and prove out something until you have to do it yourself!

[nosiobiad]

Thank you for sharing all the feeds and speeds. The tool info is also really useful. Parting off at the end was cool!

[MegaPROBlader]

Love that you uploaded the bloopers, we all make mistakes.

[Sean]

This may sound odd, but thank you for showing the failures too, I learn from them and most of all don’t feel like I am the only one who does things like that. “RIP my old friend Strap Clamp”.

[robertuebel]

Geiles Video, auch wenn man selbst in dem Beruf Arbeit ist es immer wieder mega entspannend und geil anzuschauen 👌🏻 mach weiter so und Gruß aus Thüringen ✌🏻

[HuskyMachining]

I like these videos. It givings me ideas how to use the little 5axis machine I have in my garage. Please keep these gold nuggets coming

[dorfrider]

Geil endlich mal a cnc kanal aus meiner gegend🥰 freu mich schon auf weitere videos

[someoneelse]

That was pretty cool, first time I have seen on of those Vardex insert threadmills in action.

[PhatPeatTube]

Cool, dass am Ende auch mal was von den fails gezeigt wird. Ein Betrachtung des fertigen Teils aus der Nähe von allen Seiten nach Fertigstellung am Ende wäre auch schön gewesen.

[bobhemphut]

I smashed the subscribe. Hermle's seem like a damn nice machine. And as an American with some Bavarian Heritage, I long to visit the homeland of some of my ancestors.

[cad-camsapr]

16:20 а остаток механически убирать ? заготовка на 10-15 мм толще детали ? не жалко такой кусок?

[hirochima]

at the end, what a nice trophy you got there xD GJ

[kevinstielow]

Tolles Video weiter so. Freue mich schon auf das was noch kommen mag. Grüße aus HH

[nikolai]

you forgot to specify the cutting modes for the t-cutter. Thanks a lot for video!
