My first attempt at making some slow motion machining video.
This shows the 2nd op of some C1144 Stressproof Steel shafts being turned in our 2014 Haas ST20 Cnc Lathe.
Very nice Russ,
Were you not running coolant just for the video?
What you need is an opposing spindle so that part can be machined both ends as one operation :)
Cool video Russ!
It threw me for a loop for a minute because the sound of the spindle RPM slowing down and speeding up (during slo-mo) sounded exactly like the tornado sirens around here...
Had to stop the video to be sure.
So how long did that operation take in real time?

No coolant needed when running that operation.
All it is doing is facing the end to length, and turning the OD in order to have the OD the same size on all the parts and concentric to 1st op features.
This allows us to easily hold size and tolerance in our machining centers for milling the keyways.

Funny you mention that about the siren sound.........when first listening here, I thought the same thing, though just not a tornado siren, more like emergency services. Like you, I stopped the video to be sure.
The cycle time in real time is 31 seconds.
Compared to that - all my videos look to be in slow motion!
As a "productivity minded CNC guy", that was actually painful to watch!
OK, I realize you were just trying out a feature on your new phone. Works great, just need to find a more appropriate subject matter, such as counting out the money you made on that job. Compared to the time it once took, you're killing it now!
