Actually getting to see a real part, machined in a practical way, is the best type of video you guys can make. Love this

[seraphim]

Top level machinists working together. That's good to see.

[niclasnordblad]

Actually planning to run a part in this fashion in a couple of weeks once all the tooling has arrived. So the fact this video appears while im still mulling over the strategy to get a good result with tabs is a godsent. Keep up the good work titans!

Being able to make snap tabs is definitely a great advantage in 5 axis mills. As for the way you mounted it for op 2, I would definitely have added two locating pins. Even if the pin clamps worked well enough to maintain tolerance. Having that much more control over the parts' exact location is cheap insurance, especially for the last fixturing.

Some slick toolpaths in this one, I’ve been wanting to learn how to program the tabbing method for a while now

Jessie is the Mr Miyagi of 5 axis machining. Wax on wax off. 💥❤🙏. Much love and gratitude

[jan-ericlindstrom]

Nothing new but it is a good method . I have used it for 25 years. Before YT .Keep up the good work titans!👍👍

[StauterAdventureCo.]

This is such perfect timing!! I’m explaining to the owner why we need a 5 axis!!

[danielrogers]

I use the method all the time. Love your work, and keep it up. 👌

[owievisie]

Beautifull part and process. Also cool to see the deburing in OP2 that was milled in OP1. Show you also trust your own process. Great job and cool looking part

[rexcarroll]

Been finishing parts 100% (no second position) with tabs since 1996. Tabs only need to be .015-.010 thick, width of tabs in the center .250 to .375. Best to use small End Mill e.g. 1/2 end mill when finishing tabs and the tab side of the part, reducing the torque on the backside of the part. Break tabs and blend with Dotco or Die Grinder.

You can use a Serrated Vise and avoid prep operation for the Dovetail. Machine the part 100% complete in one position.

Also, I have used Slot Cutter (Side Cutting Mill) to establish the Radial/Arc tabs in just 3 passes while finishing the backside of the part. Cut first Side, then 2nd Side leaving a small continuous .015 thick ARC serpentine tab, then come back and mill away the majority the tab's center of the ARC serpentine tab. The deeper you push the depth of the cut the shorter your tabs will be. At this point the remaining tabs will be short little "ARC" tabs that are more rigid than typical linear tabs. Though style works great.

9:05 These 5D machines never cease to amaze me.

[IchibanEngineering]

Awesome part. Really liked that fixture.

[lvxleather]

Very cool dude. I like those Mitee-Bite expansion pins, especially large odd size plates with random holes locations, makes it much easier to fixture.

[CaptBeanerzzz]

I've found that on harder materials (stainless and Ti) it works well to come in and tab with a 3/16" to about 0.125" thick and then follow up with a 1/8" down to about 0.03" thick depending on that part weight. It tends to prevent the part from bouncing into the endmill and chipping it.

[mohammedalbattal]

Every time the passion goes out you go back to igniting it guys Mr. Barry have to be careful now because Mr .Jessie hits hard today BOOM 💥♥

[maelsamael]

Absolutely amazing work! 👍
5D Perfect synchronizacion Never ceases to amaze me 🤯
Greetings to all CNC operators from Poland🇵🇱

[donniehinske]

Amazing video Jessie! You really are incredible at what you do!

[Thepriest]

I have used tabbing for a few years. I do love it when my part barely hangs off of my 4th axis and I can rip it off.

[jbjosh]

You should make an academy video for programing this one! Thanks for the content this helped me a lot with my project.
