@10:12 The face mill and sub spindle are social distancing that is why they aren’t touching each other

Rather than going to a larger compressor, I would recommend going with a second compressor. Our college has two large Quincy compressors feeding multiple shops/labs each. During maintenance, repair, or failure, a couple of valves can be turned and the working compressor feeds the entire building until the other one is operational again. Redundancy like this could prevent unnecessary downtime. Just a thought.

99% you didn’t hit reset and an offset got applied twice

[DanRudolph]

The number of times I change a cutoff insert and the new one breaks on the first cut, change it again and get 10k parts off the next edge... I feel ya John.

As a sound engineer there's more wrong with your audio than just a noisy compressor. If you're serious about the shop noise levels, for YouTubery, you may want to consider foam pyramids sound deadening material on the walls. Heavy drapes, carpet maybe, hanging from ceiling.. The noise level is more to do with flat walls, . Inside a cube.. bouncing off all 6 flat surfaces, than any one noise source. And you're also clipping the shit out of those mics. Idk shit about video editing, but I'm pretty sure you've got compressor/expanders in the software. Use them. Clean audio, below zero, and mixed in at the editing. If you wanna get rly stupid, hang a mic, center of the room from ceiling, and mix the inverse wave into it. Side chain compressor on your mic.. prolly speaking Greek I know. Just my 2p I could be wrong. Loving your channel and this series, don't get me twisted, but you mentioned people bitching about audio thought I could chime in.

Hey John, with regards to the air you could install a couple of large air storage vessels so you have a large quantity of backup air. We use this at work and it means the compressor fillls them and you use the stored air rather than have constant demand of the compressor.

[davestrong]

I’ll build you room for the compressor in exchange for a knife! Only problem I’m in San Francisco. Dave

[Sicktrickintuner]

Those feed mills, one thing I can say, is they love depth of cut, my 2” 5 insert face mill will take 0.100” depth of cut, full face width all day on 4140.
Manual feed of about as fast as I can turn the handle. Probably 30-40IPM.
Also always an amazing finish.
Anything less then 0.040” DOC I have found it curls the chips back and tends to rub them on the face of the part instead of evacuation from the cut.

[steadikek]

key to good audio is the signal to noise ratio.
the less noise and the more (usable) signal, the better the audio.
so yeah, eliminating noise by building a room around the compressor and increasing the signal by moving the mic closer to your mouth/using a lapel mic will increase sound quality.
but you should also be able to operate the mics and the wireless lapel sounds clipped and a bit too compressed (aka raising the noise floor without the need for it)

[AlChemicalLife]

you have the video micro, you need the Video Mic Pro or the Pro Plus. it has more directional sound

[hampfi]

Awesome! The super fast rapids on the Kern really make me nervous when it approaches 😄

[unionseen]

I have one process that sometimes breaks drill bits, I set up a microswitch ( you could use a tool setter) ...After drilling it probes with the drill bit to make sure it is still at full length, if no contact, the machine alarms out. Save a lot of hassles.

[bensthingsthoughts]

You could use Nvidia RTX Voice to remove quite a bit of noise afterwards !!

[ReiniGrauer]

A larger air tank is a cheap way to make the compressor cycle less frequently. Sure it will actually compress for a longer time, but maybe you'll have a few minutes of silence to record a snippet of video every once in a while. A few hundred gallons would be a decent buffer. Best part is you can stick it anywhere in the shop where there is an air line to add a bit of capacity.

[joequixotic]

I would check your stock diameter, maybe it picked up an undersize bar before the crash.

[jimsvideos]

You can use that lapel mic to record yourself and that on-camera mic, facing away from you, to record the ambient. Audition can then subtract the ambient from the lapel mic.

[GrumpyMachinist]

The swiss doesn't have broken part off tool detection?

[billetspin]

I've been running CNC's for over 25 years. You never stop learning. I love these videos because so many people just think CNC's are easy and you just wave a picture in front of the machine and parts start popping out lol. Would love to know what camera you use for the vlogs, I am assuming a Cannon?

[JimAlaska]

As an Alaskan, which is an honorary Canadian, I need to buy a Pandemic Norseman from you... help a brother out! :)

A good airflow system that permits sound cutting would be to build a tube around the machine. Raise it off the ground and put a big fan on the top, to push air in. The tube walls would have to be sound insulated, so foam of some sort and the bottom needs to be baffled (you just have alternating half circles allowing air to escape, but sound to smack in. That's how they did compressors in a factory i visited years ago. They did them with hexagon prisms, but i'm thinking that you'd probably like a tube. You could make it as a giant scale Grimsmo pivot screw. :)
