In the 86th episode of "Taps and Patience," AJ and Harrison kick off with a humorous recount of AJ's recent mishap involving his phone. AJ describes how he accidentally bent his phone while setting up parts for machining, turning it into a "taco" shape. The incident happened while he was watching RUclips videos and setting a tool on his mill, which led to an unexpected rapid movement that crush...

    I heard him reference a SVM 4100 and thought I would throw in my 2 cents after owning one for over a year. I have 2 DNM 4500's and 1 SVM 4100. The SVM is nice because it rapids fast and the servos accelerate and decelerate much faster, but the rigidity is severely less than the DNM. If I could go back in time I would buy another DNM and spend the little bit extra money. The machine is also so low to the ground which is a bummer for me being 6'2". I guess it all depends on what you need it to do but I much prefer my DNMS. Also, the coolant tank design sucks and the coolant lines get clogged if you look at them wrong. Both issues I really don't have on the DNM's.

    After hearing you talk about xometry jobs I thought I’d check it out and the demo part they gave me for a mill sourced out a 16 micro inch Ra. How did you hit that surface roughness without a surface grinder and how did you measure it for the inspection? I really only have a manual horizontal bandsaw and a vmc in my garage.

    • @AudacityMicro
      @AudacityMicro 6 дней назад

      Back when I did it, it didn't have that call out. I think your best bet without spending a lot of money is to get one of those physical reference charts. it won't give you an exact roughness number, but you will be able to see if it is better or worse than 16Ra. It's aluminum so if you go slow with a sharp tool, you will be fine. At the end of the day I really only have a bandsaw and a VMC as well, so I believe in you 🙂. I have some miscellaneous support equipment, but other than measuring stuff, it almost never touches the final parts

    (not criticizing but this video is good for directing the public to make a better decision) As a multi machine shop owner here man when you said you went with a 20 year old machine that tell me everything i need to know. I AM NOT implying machines dont last 20 years but you just purchased 20 year old technology. If you follow industry standard of a manufacture they replace all machines between 5-8 years for a reason. HAAS, yes being built in the US is great but they are not usually built to last and cost just as much as a good Japanese, korean, or Taiwan built machine after adding all the option, just to machine a part. However if you look at the engineering side of the machines Japan and Taiwan machines are usually built stronger with larger diameter ball screws and heavier casting. Korean machines are a littler over built like a german car, too much sensors that will cause problems in the future. One very important aspect you touched on was parts supply. We replaces machines every 7 years in my shop and I have been looking at the syil but I just dont think i can rely on Titans of CNC as a parts supplier or for any technical support as they are just a TV host business and proven machine shops dont really take them serious. Most of what they carry is paid advertisement and not dedicated hard run equipment.

    Clearly this is a refractory material, it's property suite totally sucks for anything else. I'm experiencing failure of imagination on why anybody wants precision machined refractories. Obviously you can't share anything about this part and likely don't even know but your seeing a business opportunity in mastering this material. I'm a professional mechanic and spend my free time building stuff and I can't think of one thing this stuff is good for. Little help?

    • @AudacityMicro

      The parts went to the research department at a university if I remember right, so they are probably some sort of spacer for some sort of high temperature equipment. A lot of that experimental stuff is held to pretty tight tolerances to eliminate variables in the experiment. Scientists are fantastic customers, since they love to throw high tolerances on parts for no reason 😂. Now that I have machined the material, I'm much less excited about it. I thought it would be a lot more like glass, and a lot less like chalk. But I had no way of knowing that until I actually got to test it out.

      I understand what you are getting at, but that is an emotional reaction, not a logical one. Time is time, and money is money. If you loose $100 on a $10000 job, that $100 is worth just as much than if you lost it on a $100 job. Sure it feels worse on the $100 job, but at the end of the day, your bank has $100 less in it. You find 100 ways to save that 100 dollars in a year, and Bam! $10000 for free.

    Saying "You do not make money on manual machines" is way too broad. There is still a place for manual work, mainly in repair but also in quick 2nd op type stuff. Exactly how much time should devoted to training on manual equipment is debatable, but it hasn’t and probably never will go away.

      It really does not make a difference. Just do whatever you enjoy more. Our total RUclips revenue over the entire podcast is so negligible that it just doesn't matter. You would quickly out-do any ad revenue by giving us a penny every month on Patreon 😅.
