For $45K, I would get Haas Super Mini or Used VF2 older. I’d notch my garage door for this than getting another Tormach. It’s just not the same. BUT it really depends on what you are doing with it. For doing ones and twos, Tormach is perfect. You want to even tempted for business and production, go for Haas. Syil is interesting though. I need to see it in person. I’m so ready to move up from my S31100.

Put Syil X7 vs this 1500MX please. or better yet, put Super Mini comparison too.

I recently bought a used PCNC 1100 Series 3. My first CNC. I will use it for myself and my company. The machine wasn't used for production so pretty lightly used. I picked it up for 13,500 with a ton of other tooling etc... lots of material to practice on etc. I really like it so far. I feel I got a great starter CNC for as cheap as possible also it was 7 miles from my shop. So easy move. I figure if I need anything in the future it will probably be the 1500MX. I wasn't really in the market to by the CNC but it kind of just happened. I'll learn on this one and expand. Glad the 1500MX seems to be a good way to go. It will probably be my next.

If anyone hears about any, IMTS after parties, let me know

Heading to IMTS in the AM. See you guys there ✌️

Ill be at IMTS where you going to be?

Good Live Stream guys. Thumbs Up.

Are there really no drawbacks to having it on 3 legs?

Harrison ive heard some guys have issues woth the kenametal dual contact tools so jt may be the tool holder

👍👍👍

Now I'm not a patreon so I don't have anything at all to demand but the episodes is very sporadic, yesterday e91 appeared in the podcast feed and now e93 with no e92 on youtube 😅 I like the podcast very much though 🙂

Headquarters in Madison Wisconsin?

Harrison's shop is really nice. Quite envious. What is the main 3-phase power supply breaker size for this shop?

Since the topic of steeltoe boots came up, what is a good shop boot? I've been looking for one for years. Prefer USA made, but doesn't have to.

Speeds and feeds are very much tribal knowledge and alot of company's suck at delivering usable data to adjust that tribal knowledge

Look at those mugs 😂

Cerakote vs powdercoat????? Application.... I use Cerakote (ceramic) on exhaust systems and powdercoat on non-heat related. Simples. All my exhausts (on motorcycles) are ceramic coated by Zircotech "Endurance Black". The link pipes and some brake calipers are Cerakote... Swingarms, foot hangers and other "cold" bitz are powdercoated. I'ts a no-brainer.

You sound like me the first time i used a ,015 Endmill. I still have it and I did more milling than I thought I could ever do. These things are tough little beasts. I touch them off with them running...

Underrated video. You should reference it as much as you can, well worth the time to watch it.

Great Video I Did Not Know this was Available in Fusion 360. I will use this instead of handwriting it Thank you.

I am very happy to hear that you are guys busy. It is very exciting when POs are coming in, but after a few life bumps and bruises of my own, I would advise to try to maximise the machine spindle time and pace the expansion etc before putting yet another monthly payment on the stress list. I have heard plenty of stories where in US purchasers sweeten new job shops up to get them up to a certain size, with a huge monthly bill on machines hanging over their heads and then start asking for discounts, because they know you need the cash flow.

Needed this, problem solved. THANKYOU :)

Sorry for giving you grief on another post, this is a good video and appreciate the thorough walkthrough. I'm planning a purchase in the fall and haven't seen much about this machine, it is a perfect match on paper for my needs but would really like to see a bit more proof in the field before committing >$40k. I can afford a Minimill and know it will do the job but can't shake the feeling I'm just contributing 10-15K to Gene's Hot Wheels fund.

Yamaha side by side

Would magnets not help to hold and measure the parts ?

I wouldn’t even trust the coolant oressure

No way a .007 drill how the fuck 😮

I hope you used proper ppe and proper wash down with that beryllium copper. That stuff is wildly dangerous to work with.

Looks like AJ is very allergic to € stuff :D (What..., nothing in Belgium ? :D ...nope nothing) Brother...R series 2x4th on it...with a robot in front...Load while running $$$

👍👍👍👍

I bought 4140 PH from Zoro and it was also saw cut on all 4 sides. For the weekend warrior with just a few hundred in purchases a month, I find Zoro pricing is better than any other place; add to that the occasional 20% to 25% coupons and the free ship

For such an expensive piece of equipment, I'd rather just pay the 5k or whatever extra and get the haas.

looked at the cutting speed for that material, and with carbide(uncoated) it recommend 14m/min or 45f/min, its slower than hardened steel tho the feed is similar to normal soft steel

That vertical line at 24:17 is something up with fusion. shows up all the time and overlap never gets rids of it.. Its almost like a precision error with some calculation where the cutter pushes into the part on entry where it should be coming in on the tangent. I've see it all the time and others mention it as well.. I cant get rid of it and it drives me nuts.

We have seven industrial CNC machines in our facility. Two of them are Haas CNC machines. I have also owned several Chinese and Taiwanese CNC machines. I have also owned industrial CNC machines with three different PC based CNC controls. The Haas machines, Chinese Machine, Taiwanese machines are excellent value for the money. Regardless of what machine you buy you will eventually have a problem with it. With our Haas machines whenever they have had an issue the machine was never down for more than 48 hours. In fact we had a warranty issue on one of them and our local dealer had the machine fixed and up running the day we called them. We have had our Chinese and Taiwanese CNC machines be down for up to 8 weeks before. The fact that most of the parts for the DC1 are in stock in California makes it a clear winner. The Haas CNC control is Linux based and has a huge installation base. I guarantee that the Haas control is far more stable and less buggy than any PC based control. I currently have three PC based controls in my shop. I know this from experience. If you are trying to run a business you will find quickly how important service and parts are. I would recommend that if you can spend the money go with the Haas. Our Haas dealer is about an hour away from us. When you have a machine go down you will quickly realize how valuable a reasonably local service and support network is.

Hi this is Trey and I appreciate the tips. I did figure out what Harrison suggested and this fixed my issue. Thanks!

You have a harvest right freezer?

Get some sleep my dude

When you speak so loud you have to wear ear pro to save your hearing.😂

What are you doing with that Harvest Right? Machining some good times are we?

Love mini splits. Got them in all the bays for my mechanics now. Most of them weren't used to having air conditioning 😂.

Mini Spits truely are a machinist best friend. They dry the air really well, keep you cool and are very low cost to run. I wish I could put my air compressor in the shop. It’s in a lean to out back and pulls a lot of moisture BUT I don’t hear it run. I just leave the air dryer going when I’m working.

Deets on the box around the air compressor?

"im not doing that on my haas". that made me chuckle, sounds like youve got some application issues if you cant do or exceed that on your haas. (no im not a haas shill i actually hate them but my shop runs basically nothing but haas so here we are). looks like 6061 to me. at .080" axial and 100% radial id push around 240 ipm @ 9k on a vf2. or about 180ipm @ 9k on a 2". it really comes down to workholding and insert choice, cutter weight. its not really fair to you rmachine to say i wouldnt do that on this unless youre talking major differences, like comparing an ec400 to a heller etc. i will say the perimeter cut you did is probably better than what alot of ashops are still doing these days. personally on a 3fl 1/2" rougher 1.25 LOC at those kind of parameters we will usually max at 1" axial on a .050 radial but we will typically be pushing around 225ipm @ 11k

just get a brother or a used Japanese machine

That thumbnail is some kinda audacity

So if it says, "no you can't make it faster on a bridgeport", that sounds like a challenge. So can we get the drawing and the total setup + cycle time so we can crush it on a bridgeport? Asking for a friend...

I noticed that the door seems to be considerably narrower than the 1100mx, did that seem to be an issue working on it?

There was barely any machining actually being shown. It was just walking around the machine half the time and bad views of what's going on.

3:50 assuming the face mill has 4 inserts…your haas does not have 3.5 horsepower?
