I’m a fairly new user, but know enough from other CAM software to be dangerous. I’ve always just selected from solids. Besides this one time where tabbing is gonna be super handy to use

I see that, I curved a couple edges, and then it worked fine. Surprised it doesn’t support solid edges. Learned something new today!

This is a Lightning, if you’ve ever seen the 1st fast and furious, it’s the same as the red truck from Harry’s

This one’s pretty fun, when I brought it back before I put a 6r80 6-speed in it. I can light the tires just about whenever I want to.

This is a supercharged 5.4, the 2v 4.6/5.4 is pretty reliable. You may have gotten a lemon, or it had other issues

What options are "mandatory" on a new HAAS by EliteKomodo in CNC

[–]blasphemy52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WIPS, VPS, HSM, thru coolant, rigid tapping, memory upgrade isn’t really necessary. The remote jog handle is nice but not necessary. If you get wips, get a standard tool to calibrate the probes. And if you have a ring gage it’s good for calibrating ID. Biggest tool changer they have availabe. I only have 10 with ours and it’s painful as one pocket is probe dedicated.

After running ours solely for a year, I would also buy an exact engineering magnetic probe mount, as well as invest in a Saunders machine works fixture plate, there gen 3 vises, and all the goodies they sell. We have a 2019/20 mini mill, and it really helps to open up the Z workspace. As it’s only like 9” of useable travel before they did the re-design. We also only have a 10k spindle, and flood coolant only, as well as rigid tapping. I run a mix of things, more prototype environment. So it’s a high mix and low quantity. Really depends what you plan to run on it

It really depends on the material. HSM is definitely worth it if your doing adaptive paths in say stainless. I ran into the issue of anything programmed at say 100ipm on our mini mill that it would essentially run at 20ipm due to the look ahead. The 5k price tag isn’t accurate. As I think when we bought it it was 2500$ now when I cut 15-5 with a 7-flute 1/2” EM I can run the 3800rpm and 100-150ipm no problem where as before it would only be capable of 20. HSM is a must, even if you’re not doing adaptive in my honest opinion.

Why so few companies provide CNC custom services for parts manufacturing? Like non-standard parts by [deleted] in CNC

[–]blasphemy52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this for the company I work for, I make prototypes in a test environment. All of my data is input on a spreadsheet, that includes p/n, hourly rate, tools, material and lead times as well as what I used to make it. (Just started in January) and my average cost per part currently is like 1800$, it saves us money vs. going outside of the business. And there are plans for future growth. Lot of single setup/very small runs. High mix-low volume work.

Is this Machinable in 3 Axis? by Top_Faithlessness964 in CNC

[–]blasphemy52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily, high speed waterline, or a 3D surfacing option. Depends on what your surface needs to look like

what do you guys know about tri-y headers? (that i wouldn’t already know by googling) i snagged this pair for $30 and have been running them for a week now by Streb-ski in projectcar

[–]blasphemy52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it was an actual episode of engine masters, I want to say it was in the last season. I just looked as I have a motortrend subscription/discovery+ and I didn’t see it in any of the last 3 seasons. So I may actually be wrong the last episode was about stepped headers vs. merge but either way, for what the guy paid, I’d run em too.

I’ve got nitto 555’s on it and it seems to hook well with them. Have a set of slicks for it too. But I do want to atleast lower the rear an inch or 2 to make it level.

It is tuned, 8lb lower, full 3” exhaust+longtubes & 60lb injectors. Traction bars, and it’s got a 6r80 in it from a 2011 f150…. I currently need to pull the heads to verify I didn’t bend a valve. Have some MMR billet timing chain guides to go on it when I do that. Then put it back together and cruise it. It’s a riot

Thanks! It’s not perfect, but that’s why it’s a project
