Turning D2 Tool Steel on the ST-20Y! A friend needed some work done and fast, so we filmed the process. It gave us a chance to learn the machine and develop a workflow. We’ll cover the setup, how and why we used Excel, how to program CAM for ANY lathe part quickly in Fusion 360, how we measured the parts for quality control, and more.

Fantastic , this i was searching for !
Next week i start working for the first time as a
Cnc lathe operator.
Don´t get me wrong i worked alot i my life ..lol.
And i studied mechanics at school 30 years ago , aiai ?.
A DRO was the hole grail only a few could lay there hands on , at school.
Other hands got spanked !
I already had a shop tour And man was i overwhelmed by the lack of knowledge i have of modern day machining.
Okay i vould recognize the tools , drills and so..
But all other stuf , was like startrek next generation.
I´m 47y and worked , shIfts as boardoperator i a chemical plant , also high tech .
But my Perception of machining was WAY OUTDATED to say at least .. lol
But already seen some G code tutorials , first pieces begin to fall into place .
I´m 3 minuten in the video and i know this is gonna be something i can bite my old theeths into and gonna love doing .(i hope)
Well done , and got me closly following…

Does anyone have an Amazon link to that Stop Gauge Block used in Minute 1:34 please? Or something similar?
making the excel spreadsheet wasn't needed seemed like a waste of time to make.
Thanks man! I learnt a new thing today 🙂
Does anyone know about Hurco lathes are they as good as Haas?
Your dog was choked, lol. Impressive work!
In our side of pond, for dimensions of this size (1… 500 mm? or something): Nominal size should be given in full millimeters. Standart tolerance preferably given with ''basic deviation?'' and ''tolerance field/quality class?''. For non standard – deviations allowed. As far, as I remember.
Awesome episode! So much good info, thanks for sharing. ?
Should use the tool station as the stop feed the bar into the tool station save a lot of time
'RPM' is the same whether it's singular or plural. The 's is already within the acronym, otherwise you end up saying 'revolutions per minutes'
You have a sub spindle. Could have transferred it and finished complete. No need for 2nd set up.
The best way to do the if statement is the number should turn green or red, for good or bad.
It's fast as hell if you are doing several dozen checks.
I don't read jack on repeat inspections. I just get bull like if I see red on the inspection page.
Lol people arguing on the comments about their measuring system. Lmao america lacking behind again in imperial,like come on, you're behind everyone in new and better changes.
Only salty yanks gonna comment and try to wobble their fat flabs and make a fuss about this aha
Very Good video! I Will soon get Into cnc turning. Videos like this is super helpfull.
Just a suggestion for process security. The V Style (35 degree) finish tool is not what you should be using for the finish pass. The part geometry doesn't require that style of insert. A C style (80 degree) insert will give you a much more durable tool in the long run.
wish I could find a generic post in fusion for a gantry style cnc lathe.. or a way to manipulate one to work for the milling.
As a manual machinist I found this one of the better videos to educate me on new cnc procedures. We have large conversational lathes for hydraulic parts industry, meaning often just one off parts. Really like to maximize machines we will be purchasing soon with more capabilities. Great video
Good Job
I'd add a row on that spreadsheet with the deviation from centre of tolerance so ((E7-F7)/2)+F7
could also colour code it so that if it's out of tolerance it's highlighted red and green for in tolerance
You should do some conditional formatting so that the cell color changes to green or red depending on pass/fail.
one thing you really want to avoid, is screwing up your tool probe
Wouldn't it be possible to adjust the max RPM automatically depending on the stock diameter? The length of the bar in the bar feeder shouldn't matter as long as it's a straight piece. We ran our lathe with 4 meter material in the bar feeder with 7000 rpm.
Never knew you could do an AND condition in an excel IF, THEN ELSE statement – have always nested them for multiple conditions.
It's funny how you convert a simple and easily understandable unit (mm) into…well..inch
Nice work. Im looking to buy a exactly the same setup ? could you tell me how far did you set it from the back wall ?
Man how much more complicated could it be to program a lathe part. Fusion is a mess!!! Just draw it out then apply the tool paths. Does everything have to be a huge process of modeling and spread sheets? What a mess.. That part should be done in no time with a decent Cad/Cam program. Infact, it could be done right at the control then ran. I get it, Fusion is free. They obviously don't use machinists in there development process. You now have Over a million dollars worth of equipment in your shop, yet you use cheap free software and do it the hard way.
Interesting, I like watching your videos. I need to learn that software.
You can do most of the simple things that surround us! Be active! Think with your own head, not a supermarket!
especially now, when the whole world is in a panic and pandemic about the coronavirus. besides the fact that you can do many other useful things for yourself, you can do many things for sale, just look at → cults3d dzusto
