Genuinely one of the best willemin videos in existence
-
Please go into the CAM/programming for this! I learned so much from Saunder's but he doesn't do that stuff any more. 😢
-
What about making a simple Delrin finger/hook in a tool holder and using it to drag the finished part to the right out of the vise?
-
What about using a dummy tool to push the part to one side, once the vice releases?
-
12:00 wonder what kind of flashlight part this is meant to grab on :D
-
There are more way to skim a cat ... Lathe with sub spindle and driven angular geared milling head (my lathe at work would do 16000 RPM with such a head). Use an "outside" torx -> bigger radii -> bigger mill diameter -> less RPM Reverse the part (head to the right), part it off with a slanted part off tool (small bimp is left) and parts catcher. No sub spindle required.
-
If you reverse chuck rotation and flip threading tool upside down, you can cut right hand threads left to right. This way you do not have to be afraid of crashing your tool. I think I got that right? 🤔
-
I'm sure you guys know, stainless on stainless will gall and do weird friction things. Really neat to see the willemen in action. also you might unclamp and use a little push tool to push it out of the jaws.
-
That machine is amazing
-
Yes! More Willi please :P
-
Use the spindle to push the part off the end of the vise!
-
That is incredible!
-
Great video, and machine. Your enthusiasm for machining really shines through!
-
Push the part out of the vise using zero revs on the mill head. Low speed move so the part falls into the chute.
-
Torque bit tool of some type on clamping head and fingers to pull tight like a bearing puller.
-
I've been waiting for this video, so cool
-
Since you are not relying on the face of the jaws what if you milled an angle on the soft jaws so when the vise unclamped the screw would tip over and slide down the angle on the head of the screw into the tube. As long as it didnt get stuck in the radius you milled into the jaws.
-
Awesome!
-
Hi Guys, Why don't you decrease the etork bit size, and just go deeper into the shank of the screw? Or just increase the thickness of the head? Or rather than a flat head put a dome on it?😊
-
It would actually be interesting as heck to see this redone in the orientation you mentioned, it seems like you could save~ 30% material per screw or so due to alternating T shape being one you can overlap with itself 180, but probably dominated by tool clearances needed to make it..
