Beautiful finish! Most of the time when I see a finish like that, it was done on a $300, 000+ mill with a 80, 000 RPM spindle

I was thinking 40k was allot for that part, I didn't realize you meant the machine. 😂 That's an amazing price.

Add air bearings, and you can get better than 0.5μin Ra. I do this along with achieving 250nm profile tolerance. Also, you destroyed the tool when you probed it. You absolutely cannot use tactile probes with MCD tools.

Amazing finish. I had no clue these types of tools existed!

Nice video. I am getting a 7 to 10 RA on my Syil V5 all day long. They are great machines for the money!

[seancollins]

now looking at horn catalog for finishing tools for my cnc lathe work, awesome !!!!

[Sara-TOC]

Great video, Trevor! 🎉 I haven’t had the opportunity to with that type of tooling in my career. The surface finish is stunning!

[timothycollette]

That Mitutoyo scared me! Did it scratch it? You guys need a Keyence Profilometer. Far superior. Great video tho! amazing finish!

[parkcitymacs]

Nicely done! What is the retail cost of that bit and the actual size you used? I’m guessing $1800 to $2500?

[billyboyce]

Trevor is on a mill! Cool cutter and nice finish.

5:29 did the crystal chip or is it the lighting ?
the finnish is excellent

[shaniegust]

Wow! That’s insane. And beautiful finish sheesh!

[clutch]

More syil vids for us who may get one!

[leonjbr]

Congratutalions. This job is absolutely fantastic.

[fleshtonegolem]

That level of accuracy is mind boggling!

[diegovianavillegas]

Of course you can, with an endmill that costs almost 3000 USD, mirror finish is the least you can ask.

[parmi]

So Ra8 in inch means Ra 0, 2 in metric. Thats kinda sick. But who needs like polished surfaces on non iron metals.

[mattlarson]

I am curious what the step over was on that tool and the cycle time...

[Yamototamto]

How much time was that finishing path? 3 hours : O amazing

Can you send a link to the brass drum thing?
