And visa versa. Robots. Face knurling. Cussin'.

Gentlemen, welcome back to the shop. We're knocking the frost off the old hurly gurly robot. It's going to do our fair share of driving. As you can see it's been hair straight back I Noticed whilst she was doing the Fandango kind of lacking on the old style Department have more vices than a cardinal but look at what's a fixing them.

Just no style at all. We're going to fix that today on account of having all these occupational hazard of talking to yourself all the time. Damn cord D Str Down they L me we got all these offcuts. we're going to make some well I'll show you for be it for me to discourage a disparaging comment about something I bought with my own two feet.

but I got lots of the Curt vices and but one of the orange Rices There might be a clue there I Bought the orange rice just just to see it's a dual station. very wellmade but it just ain't for me. The one thing I hate is you can't get a tool in there cuz the the adjustment slide there for locking the it moves on you. and the other thing is when you got the Dual station it doesn't open up.

when you loosen it off you got to hit it with the hammer. You got to just give it a tap to get this jaw to move back. I they're expensiv. they're very wellmade.

I just don't like the style of them but you got to piss with the you got. One thing I really like and appreciate is that they come with these super fancy aluminimum anodized no less. Hold down clamps cling tenaciously to my false bravado now fellow traveler as we stride tentatively through the limal space of the Tinternet onto Crackmaster Car Convenient, not competitive yellow Vice Mounting clamps by the jeesus look at the price of them I Don't begrudge any man a feeding his kids, but holy old you ain't got to feed of mine I'm looking at you Gil baits especially as fellas out here on the Outer Rim jerking off the dog to feed the cat B The simple clean lines. This strikes me as a project perfect for in betwix the between of that there machine doing my fair share of driving and conveniently I'll go I'll go ahead and put the file up on McMaster Car's own website and acted a couple special modifications myself.

One extra good Juju more style. rounded over edges. what for making your greasier snot on a door knob? nice Loosey Goosey slot for throwing the bolt ins sidewards in the dark? You never know when you're going to be in a hurry and real toy corner here. we'll use a radius over endmill.

Actually, we're going to use a special kind of Endmill what's falling into this favor in order to get some additional grip tiity on this thing I'll show you a little trick. Oh, and I see a problem here I missed something I missed that corner there I Conf Fusion 360 I mean we we've been getting along just fine lately on account of them not changing too much. Always some bloody engineer gets in there and reinvents the wheel. that's poor dards stools on the tools back here wondering what? F they did it enough to drive you nuts regenerating the tool pass I Like to double check that none of the Pressa digitations are going to blow up right off the Hop We got the old sneaker net here.
look at Corpo giveaway. hey Focus you a Toro underground rock truck. These things are fantastic On account of only having 16 megabytes, nobody wants the jeesus thing. Look at this cute cute.

We're running the sneaker net today. apparently the internet to the machine's not working. There we go, we're all hotted up 79 Frankenstein A little low on coolant but she be all right. See what I mean here standing at the ready, proud and easy to access and you got this one over here tucked up like a drank a case of Bud Light Son of a the The Call Malo Okay, we got the Dick in the Vice the double Dick in the Vice I Saw a movie like that once or rather the workout on a tray.

Nice. We are now cross the limnol lentil and into the flow of the work. Time ceases to exist and we are only in the act of cre a magical time where you're always late for supper and the M is angry at you. We're going to come in here, drill some holes.

We got some carrying stock down here G55 Work Offset: G54 offset Not to worry if this is unfamiliar to you. you get the geser. We're going to drill some holes we're going to come around. do the periphery, do the underside up, then we'll flip her over, do the top side, and then for the chef's kiss.

We're going to do a third operation around the periphery looking good. Again, with the movie reference, we're going to have to close the door. We don't want to get any of that on us. that was just a dry run.

Make sure I was at the right levels. I Like to check to make sure I'm not going to smash anything. This machine being rather expensive and not wholly mine yet now. this twist drill has holes through it for the coolant to flow through and it's high pressure so it's 1,000 PSI That's what makes it so foggy.

I Don't know if you can see anything but I sure C I Got the Rapids in 25% just on the off chance that something's going to happen I I Can catch it and hit the feed hold. Probably very little chance, but it you never know the first time for everything. Going to go for a tool change. Going to come in with a half in three flute rougher hold up the cut.

Lots of extraneous movements on this, but we're not optimized for production. This is just a a gap filler job just for funsies. you understand, not for cereal. That plunge was a little quick.

Kind of disconcerting there. Here we go. Now we're coming in with the/ Qu in ball endmill to do all those fancy rolled edges, doing a morphed spiral tool path just to give us a more organic feel. like some extraneous moves.

Cut some cusps. Let me change the setting. As I said, we're not in high production. For instance, on that top off of the hammer cycle, it's 141 minutes.

figured I could squeeze a couple dozen minutes out of her by changing the clearance height. That way the Zed doesn't go all the way all the way to the top like it just did in order to move to the next tool. Saved me, but 30 seconds wasn't worth the trouble. We got the blow jobber in there.
look at this beautiful bastard ribbed for her pleasure. Now we're going in for Op Two Mtdi T1 The Rener shop prob coming at you. not 100% that. I cinch those vices up.

The rule with CNC Machining is if you ain't sure it's going to work, it ain't going to work. So I like to double check everything. If I have the least tinge of trepidation, it's worth the extra time because an error can be very costly. That's the top side of the clamp.

the second op and make make sure we don't get any errors. Appears to be happy happy is beautiful. If fness were a regular Job Shop that'd be plenty good enough for the girls we go out with. However, we haven't hit our Bumble quotient.

We got to add at least another three cars or horsepower and a chef's kiss. One more step. perfect click just to switch it up. We're going to give her a little bit of the T1 action.

Automatic tool change. Reverse probing probing probing. always probing handle jog. So we'll do the single surface.

Zed Minus a half cycle smash. This will probe the depth and then we'll come in with a different cycle and probe. What'll that be? rectangle pocket, rectangle block. that's the fly 54 What is the Y What is the X Well, the Y is going to be one.

The x is going to be two dot Well, it's 1.5 so we'll do two Dot and then the Zed Uh, half a Lch. Yeah, lower than that. half a Lynch maybe a little bit more. Maybe three carers invalid number three quarters.

there we ke deck. oh she pulls the old not tonight honey. Unexpected surface. Found this is unrecoverable I Have to uh, shut down I Have tried everything and nothing works well.

everything other than updating the software. But if I do that, then Hos knows who I is and where I live and you know I I already got lieutenant Commander Fuckerberg up my ass I'm I'm good I don't I don't need uh Jean Hos up my ass too. Power off. Oh maybe.

uh. handle jog out of the way here just in case. Oh I can't Oh you piece of okay. There we go.

There we go. Power off. Let's go check on our green babies. We got the Mula neglecta.

We got some strawberry seedlings. Bad news however, tried to choke me again. these are not strawberry seedlinks I'm going to grow them out just to see well I think we're ready. Got some strawberries on the way.

However, we're just about ready now. I Input in the visual programming system. Two in and this is but one and a half. So I say to you what the over, come on you McKing Slusher okay x 2.5 y 1.5 Zed H Point 5 Oh you piece of this fault at least is recoverable.

What hit the over? Clear the Vault power. Oh wait. handle jog Zed up. It'll move up but it won't wait.
What? it's working. Now what the it's works. it's working. Oh was it the skip signal found? That was the okay I take that back.

The problem is between the hand job wheel and the driver's seat. Hallelujah Although I don't think I think it went too high, too deep too something on that back side. So I'm going to reduce the Zed height and probe it again. Now the interesting thing about this cycle this autom magic cycle is that it returns to the start position and then moves to the center of the part after the cycle is done.

So if you see if we run this again and we see a little jutter, then we know that we weren't in the right spot previous. Easy little check there. But if you don't know that trick, well, you don't know that trick. So we're going to go down about a qu inch.

no a quarter inch. Thank you. Automation these days doesn't understand English Now watch the Jetter Okay so we were dead nuts on I was worried for nothing but again, you don't know until you know And there you go. Now you know.

Oh, testing this suit, There we go. Two little whoopy Woos one with the rougher one with the blow jobber. I'm not sure if this is going to work so I'm going to go real Ginger Careful 10% on the feed, 5% on the rapid spindle 100% and finger jittering above the candy red feed hold button cycle. Smash active feed 1 in per minute.

Maybe we can go a little faster. Oh, let's do a let's do a single block. We'll single block it. increase the feed rate for the plunge.

There we go. There, we go, there we go there, We go now. Reduce the feed rate. Oh actually no, we can go however fast we want cuz it's going to stop.

It's going to stop there. We go now. Feed rate down to 10% cycle. Smash.

It's coming in. it's com coming in. it's coming in coming in. I'm just manually telling it to advance the program.

one line by each. That's sir. he stupid like a fox. You see what I did there? No.

I'll point it out to you. This is not patently obvious I use the cob of the ruer in order to nurl the face. Normally you nurl an OD a round bit but you see the the cob on this rougher. If you use the same axial depth for a profile and you offset it 90 and do it again, you will get a Neurl.

It's a little fiddle but it works. Hey hey Spanks for watching. Keep your dick in a ice. Also, hammers just about out.

They're about halfway done and they'll get get shipped out if and you want a hammer help support the Town Pump CNC You need something machined, you ain't got no scratch or you don't have the wherewithal to finger out how to get a CNC machine. Well Machine some parts pro bono for you ship them out to you in order to keep us in carbide and beers. also General broken tools and Tom Foolery go ahead and pick you up either a double bitted ax or some stickers or something over on the website. Uh, it's down.
D There'll be a thing here. You figure it out.
