Machining videos
Machining videos
These are not in English, but show quite a bit of good stuff.
The first one is basically on operating an Aciera F3, but some of it would pertain to many different milling machines, and it and also shows a bit of basic milling.
The second shows lots of tooling and fixtures and how they are used. This one is worth watching.
(still don't get the "video string" thing, so i gave up after the sixth try...)

Re: Machining videos
Nice video. Too bad they're in a language most people on this board don't understand.
You can buy good parts, or you can buy cheap parts, but you can't buy good cheap parts.

Re: Machining videos
Google Translate has gotten a LOT better with these technical terms. It's fun to type in the phrase and watch the translation change while you add more words.
F'rinstance, 'fraise' means 'strawberry' until you put in the modifier.
Give it a shot.
Edit: WOW -- I just finished watching the first one. VERY nice. Beautiful, jewel-like Swiss tooling, too.

I posted these since I have seen questions pertaining to almost everything shown here from "How does an edge finder work?" to "How do I cut a T-slot?" to "How do you round a corner using a mill?" to "How do you cut an arc?, etc...

Re: Machining videos
you tube and the ability to see the actual processes can teach one soo much. I feel we often don,t appreciate the
power of the medium..
the powerfeed is a interesting set up.
thanks for posting

Re: Machining videos
Glen,
I'll agree 100%, But where I do disagree with the Youtube videos is the almost universal need to add some type of music to most videos. I can learn just as much sound wise hearing just how a properly set up machine tool is cutting as I can visually.
And those Aciera videos? Now that's pure machine tool ---------------. That makes most of my equipment look like newer scrap. Those Aciera's are my interpretation of what an ideal non CNC tool room mill should be. But I also disagree with the again almost universal need by machine tool manufacturers to demo their equipment by cutting aluminum. A Sieg X2 will do a pretty decent job cutting aluminum. How about the same video with say titanium? I have no real idea about costs, So I may not even be close to the mark. But a rough guess would be $25-$35,000 for a bare Aciera mill that's shown in those videos. But boy would I love to have one.
I'm very glad you posted those though. Just one more machine tool to add to the Lotto dream list.

I don't get the music thing either. I keep the sound muted on YouTube videos nearly always as I can pretty much do just fine with only the video.
I imagine that they use aluminum in a case like this as it's quick and easy, and needs only one pass to get the point across. It seems the videos may have been created more to demonstrate the various setups and basic capabilities rather than the actual machine performance. There are some pretty sporty end mill test videos (CNC) on YouTube that do show some pretty amazing metal removal on difficult to machine alloys.
Nice machines though, and I'm sure tooling is inexpensive as well!
A friend has a couple of Deckel mills and thinks I should have one as well. My birthday and Christmas come and go every year and no Deckel shows up...

Re: Machining videos
Hi Glen,
MMMMM! Deckel's, Yeah everyone should have at least one. And I'll just bet that Aciera tooling is dirt cheap But both those videos were great. That's probably the closest I'll ever get to even seeing one.

Re: Machining videos
I watched both of the videos and found them very educational as a person newer to machines. A picture is worth a thousand words!
