Now that you're on the most serious hobbyist budgets, you can go into your garage or shop and craft that little piece you need for your latest project. With advanced technology, how could you do that? Well, believe it or not, it's not the mill itself that has advanced to allow it.

What the hell are you talking about? No corrosion like other metal models, no water or other damage with some other wooden models. With such a small footprint and weighing around 50 pounds, it's incredible useful tool, which will easily fit on your desktop or can be moved from location to location in your store.

Now this is a solid investment. "After a customer buys our product, if there is a manufacturing defect, we will help them replace the parts." Most people who want to get into building such a project will also want to build their own computer, since a very minimal system is required.

To give you a quick look, the basic steps. While he wants to master the capabilities of the machine and understand what it can do. On the Swiss type, the part is fed through the guide bush. Thus, the stationary tool cuts the part as it exits the spindle.

The first machines were automatic cam automatics. The shop is still quoting new jobs on these machines. Their mechanical turn-on is fast, but they require high production volumes because the set-up time is so long.

Choice of design features

He says that new users are often surprised by the ability of these machines to produce a finished production part quickly. This year, expected spending is more evenly distributed across the various industry applications. The application in this case is related to protection. Swiss machining provides cost-effective effective method manufacture of dust collector tips and firing pins used in military rifles.

Box tool turned accurate diameter. However, when a customer asked to be able to order parts in smaller quantities and with shorter lead times, the store had to start moving inventory to accommodate the request. Stockpiling led to additional costs, so Mr. Groth had to find cost compensation.

The Swiss lathe is a variety of lathe that feeds stock through a guide bushing. The machine feeds work from the spindle and passes the tool. His company was a screw machine. When he bought it from his previous owner, the machines that came with him were cam-controlled automatic lathes for the precise production of small parts. Grotto, a gunsmith, had no experience with this type of machine, so he taught himself how to use them.

The case of the soldering iron is afraid

He himself and with his own hands learned to create these machines and use them effectively, even effectively. Now the latest of these machines is Swiss. For the sake of training the machine and improving its skills, mr. Finding and confirming the time it takes to move will allow him to use the car more efficiently in the future. At least that was his experience getting to know these cam machines when his shop was new.

Once again, in the Swiss style, Mr. Groth teaches himself to use the machine efficiently. Douglas Paoletta knows something about this learning curve. Machinists and programmers moving from one to the other must adjust their thinking about the mechanical cycle in different ways. He makes the following distinctions.

This change affects the nature of programming offsets. He says: On the usual lathe stock falls out of the cartridge on specified length. Increasing the turning length or drilling depth entails a "minus" offset on a conventional lathe, but requires a "plus" offset on a Swiss type. The order of the cuts in the cycle also changes with the Swiss type.

“Because of the length of the guide bushing, we have to segment the part into sections, or the rod stock will fall out of the guide bushing when we remove the stock,” he says. This segmentation usually means machining parts in 750 inch sections, length of standard guide bushing area.

The guide sleeve is the heart of the Swiss machine. Using a guide bush, which is wrong size to work, will lead to concentricity errors. Most Swiss machines use oil as the cutting fluid, not water. Benefits include freedom from the growth of odor-causing bacteria, as well as hands like prunes, which are exposed to water-based coolant all day as a result. However, the main drawback is in this very word "refrigerant".

Compared to water, oil is less efficient at dissipating heat. Sewing machine cutting quickly gets hot inside the work area, so changing tools may require gloves or shop towels, Mr. Paoletta said. Reasonable equipment of the machine with a fire extinguishing system.

Paoletta says he loves to see the shift in thinking that happens when a new Swiss-style user completes a piece in a single cycle that previously required multiple operations or even multiple machines. The Swiss type will probably have 7 to 13 axles. Seeing how much work can be done quickly in the small working area of ​​a machine can surprise store staff who are using this type of machine for the first time.

Make all necessary holes

Grotto was amazed and his car didn't even have one. a large number axes. He controls the screw pins on a Swiss machine that rotates only one by one. However, he was accustomed to turning parts carefully when he ran them on a more conventional lathe. If he cuts too aggressively, the thin parts will deviate enough to leave tool marks on the workpiece. In comparison, the much greater stability that the Swiss type brings to the cut means it no longer needs to be delicate.

As a result, the efficiency of screw screws doubled. But at the same time, the size of the party is small. Although not directly comparable to the Swiss type, its screw machines are also effective for precision machining of small parts. Indeed, he still cites new jobs for them. However, these machines are inefficient for the small production volumes his customers are increasingly demanding because their setup times are too long.

However, the next Swiss type he buys will be different. The current one is selected for a particular family of parts; it accommodates a maximum rod size of 12mm. The possibility of using hand wheels should be used. The spindle drive is also unchanged.

Relatively strong motors are difficult to turn over with hand wheels due to translation. For all who no longer know the lost art of scraping, here is the explanation. Before precision milling, planing and grinding machines, there was a need for flat metal surfaces in the emerging engineering industry. Machine parts were made by casting or forging, partly by rolling, but neither process could produce sufficiently flat surfaces. The procedure used was as follows: on an already existing, only cleaned plate, the so-called veneer paint, a greasy fabric, traditionally blue, was applied.

The surface to be treated was then placed on this plate, moved in a circular manner and removed again. On the high surfaces of the surface, the color remained sticky, then they were blue. Using a scraper, the worker then scraped off the marked high spots. This process was repeated until the entire surface was evenly covered with blue spots and therefore even. The cross change of the scraper creates a characteristic pattern. The small depressions that inevitably remain on the surface serve as oil pockets and improve lubrication.

The attentive reader wonders where the first flat spotted plate came from. You end up with three flat plates instead of one. So there is nothing wrong with cockroaches, on the contrary. However, the person who put his hand on this car was having a bad day.

On the plain language this means that the guide surfaces of the table only cool down in these places, which is definitely not enough and leads to rapid wear. Also note the drilled thread for one of the spindle nut mounting screws that easily displace Fresh air.

Now, he was not the same height at all points, as the following pictures show. Here we have a difference of almost a tenth of a millimeter between the right and the left. The wedge bars for setting up the leadership game were no better. Also the insides of the swallows on the saddle didn't look promising, as shown in the following picture.

Here is an interesting picture of the leadership of the table. Why the relatively roughly corrugated surface was still provided with a crowbar decorative pattern eludes my knowledge. If the surface was cut fine then it would make sense because it created pockets. But this is completely redundant.

My first thought, of course, was to complain about the car. But that would mean assembling the car, wrapping it up, yelling at the dealer, and canceling the whole process. This man came and fixed everything. Here are his gifted hands. Now everything is fine and nothing fluctuates. German cockroaches are much more complex and time consuming, unless it is just a decoration and affection of Zltaschen. Chinese workers are also worth money, and more often if you believe the papers.

By the way, if you want to see where all the fancy cars come from, you should look here: the resemblance is, of course, pure coincidence, and you can imagine the colors quite differently. A visitor to my site pointed me to another manufacturer in China, where everything is again.
