@andy_con Cool little machine...

I'll take one 😉😉

This job is very boring.

I was hoping to have it off by morning so it can be inspected before finishing but at 0.25mm/minute it'll be still on next week!

How big is that i/d?! Is it a twin or single insert as well?

Single point and it's hopefully 1249.95/1250.00. The outer one is a bit bigger at 1300. The jobs a pain in the arse, every surface is has to be square and parallel to the bore centres to within 0.05mm. It'll be a miracle if the machine can get to double that. I don't even think the faro arm is that accurate!

What is it for, nuclear reactor part? 😄

I was hoping it was a new version of that crappy submarine but apparently it's a motor case. 🥱

Have seen it before. They are not toys and Id not operate one that big and with that much torque. Even on my colchester I double check everything before turning it on, I stand back reaching the clutch lever sometimes and wait, turn off, check things, then turn on and wait again, "ok good to go.." I go through my head the sequence of what I need to do if something goes wrong before I start to feed sometimes because its an awkward cut. I honestly dont like them but I have no choice, I want enclosed cnc, program, close doors, stand back..


I had one accident on my first mill, nearly cut my finger off, if it wasnt for the way an end mill works where it wants to pull down out of the holder, it spat my finger out the top between the part and end mill rather than pulling it down and possibly pulling my whole hand in. I think it being an end mill for alu helped because it was so sharp the cuts were more clean.

I drove to a and e with tissue duct taped around my finger in my non pas quick rack extra caster clio with one hand, I was there for 8 hours, I got there around 1am.. 😄 The guy at the 'reception' said along the lines of "it looks like the tissue is holding the blood, go take a seat around the corner", I turned the corner and there were 50 people sitting there, I just stood there for a bit before sitting and accepted my fate 😄 Of course the a and e visit was just an x ray and a dressing, I had to go somewhere else 2 days later for surgery. I said I was kind of worried about metal shavings being in between my nail to the the guy doing the dressing, he said there wouldnt be any as the x ray showed none. Of course there was metal! Lots of thin alu shavings. The surgeon removed what was left of my nail and all the alu underneath and stitched it up, the nail grew back fast and my finger feels no different than it was before now. Very lucky and learnt all I need to know about safety operating machines, and that machine was a fraction of the weight/power of the one of that video.. When I went back to my unit you could still see some flesh and blood on the end mill 😄

A lad I went to college with got pulled into a lathe and broke his back. From playing rugby to a wheelchair in an instant. Not how you want to end up in your 20's.
