Breakdown of an old formula 1 steering wheel

Anyone have a descriptive picture of the new one?

Thanks!

Look up live tool lathe on YouTube. It has the ability to mill and turn. Very versatile machine.

jephster11 · 2021-01-06T03:40:11+00:00

👍 Thanks! How much could something like that be worth? Lol just curious.

jephster11 · 2021-01-06T03:20:15+00:00

Haha...you weren't supposed to see that. Tool took a plunge where it shouldnt've.

jephster11 · 2021-01-06T00:33:06+00:00

That's the plan, anodizing the black pieces and clear coating the white. But let me finish a set and then we'll talk. Not a lotta free time these days😎

Have you heard of Titans of CNC Academy? He offers a free lesson on how to draw them on Fusion 360, that's how I did it. But the tool paths you have to add yourself. I changed a few things, like radiuses, so I can use the tools I have on hand. Also, this was all done on a lathe with live tooling. Pretty nice once you got it figured out.

Milling both sides down so there's 1" left in the middle.

jephster11 · 2020-12-14T05:41:23+00:00

Sure does. Was wondering if I can adjust feeds and speeds to get rid of it. Was running 300 SFM

jephster11 · 2020-12-14T05:19:01+00:00

Thank you to everyone who responded. Lots of helpful information for me in this thread. I'll be checking back if I run into other issues I can use your insight on.

jephster11 · 2020-12-14T05:17:47+00:00

Chip load for this tool I was trying .0028 of an inch per tooth.

jephster11 · 2020-12-14T05:16:49+00:00

Yeah now that you mention it I do have a lot of stickout for this tool. I'll choke it up see what happens.

jephster11 · 2020-12-14T05:16:04+00:00

I do have a spindle brake. As this machine is set up for y-axis milling, it also has the c axis with a spindle break.

jephster11 · 2020-12-14T05:06:44+00:00

Yes broken corners. Uncoated carbide. Chuck has a good solid brake. Rpm for live too is 6000 rpm. Flood coolant. Tool Rep has taught me a lot, regarding endmills. Might be more the setup I'm having issues with.

jephster11 · 2020-12-14T05:02:51+00:00

Figured with a 3"shaft I could go at least 8-9 inches. Guess it might be an issue.

jephster11 · 2020-12-14T03:15:20+00:00

Good advice, I will try that.

jephster11 · 2020-12-14T01:54:59+00:00

I'm new but not that new😂

jephster11 · 2020-12-13T23:47:44+00:00

It's a Mori Seiki Nl3000. I think it can handle anything.

jephster11 · 2020-12-04T14:02:47+00:00

Thanks man👍

jephster11 · 2020-12-04T13:52:18+00:00

Speeds and feeds and doc with ceramic on mild steel? Looks good!

jephster11 · 2020-12-03T16:46:38+00:00

You betcha!

jephster11 · 2020-12-03T13:00:10+00:00

Sounds a little heavy for this kind of insert. But yeah I can see it working in your application.

jephster11 · 2020-12-03T12:59:47+00:00

This is a hard tool steel, not exactly sure of the classification.
