INCREDIBLE Techniques Behind Machining Long Spline Shafts

This is game-changing technology that made cnc machining this part on the Tornos GT32 Swiss lathe so much easier. The tools used in the machine made cutting through steel a breeze, a must have for any job shop.

Great video Donald. I always appreciate the step-by-step process and not only seeing the process from start to finish but hearing the little considerations all along the way.

[SolidCAMProfessor]

The flexibility that SolidCAM gives you lets you be as innovative as you want. Very well-done video.

It’s crazy to me how with the right tools things can be so much easier! From the Machine, tools and software you can make parts like this a LOT easier to tackle! Good job on the edit Ben! This was a fun one to make!!!

[DCT_Aaron_Engineering]

That was an excellent video. Well filmed, documented and explained. Thank you for showing us. Cheers, Aaron.

I love it!! I'll be on the Horne website 1st thing tomorrow morning! I have a lot of spline shaft work.

[dannymitchell]

The videos are so much better over the last 12 months are so. You all do a great job on camera.

I'd like to see some introductory videos, I do 3D modeling for work but nothing like you guys do. I'd like to see if it's something I can get my head around and maybe one day take your classes.

Now all we need is another video showing inspection of total runout from the pitch diameter of one spline, to the pitch diameter of the other. :)

I need to get my hands on a Swiss lathe and deep dive the capabilities. They absolutely fascinate me as a normal lathe hand. HAAS ST30Y here.

We use this tool for involute gear Module 1 on a 10 mm shaft two sides, HORN toolholder 313 with special ordered/grinded inserts, our geometry was not available as standard insert, they where over €120 apiece, first minimum order is 10 pieces, second order was ( a bit ) cheaper.
That's a big plus of HORN that they can provide your own profile/shape.

love the no brass material boyzz!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Awesome video. I did something similar on a DMG Sprint 32/8 I had to mill between spindles.

It was a rectangular part, and I had an extended nose collet on path 2. It ended up stress relieving too much ( 316 ss ) so I had to shelf it for now. But I will make that part

How do Swiss machines perform with high tolerance parts the require a high surface finish when a large doc is required
For example, a 1/2 in part in copper 3in long with a 1in step at the back and a 1/4 in bore
The tolerance on the 1/2 in is +/- 0.0001 the bore +/-0.0001 and the bore concentricity of ID to OD 0.0005 max
I’m currently using a Hardinge wanting to go Swiss to expand capacity but not 100% confident the tolerances especially the concentricity as I’m reaming due to the material (copper and 3% nickel alloy) and volume

[yak-machining]

Can someone explain to me how it can simultaneously push the stock out while spinning?

[ttools_professional]

Swisstype + CAM = weapon😅 please do more Content abot how to programm a swiss lathe by SolidCam

[timothyearp]

Could you power feed like that, and power skive at the same time?

[allenbrown]

“Don’t ask me how I know!” A true sign of first hand knowledge! Be Safe!

[PacoOtis]

Greetings! An excellent video by a very fast speaker! LOL What about lubricant? When is it used these days? Thx

[Everything_Engineering]

What stops an unclamped part in the sub coming flying out the end of the sub spindle liner just centrifugal force?

[ernest]

if you’re running a bar of material thru a guide bushing how are parts ejected thru that same tube with bar stock ??

[malzahar]

By holding the part on its casting surface, how to make sure it is well centered/balanced so when it goes out of the holder, the runout is still good?
