That's great! The 2 flute mill roughing them out sounds better with the heavy hogging than it does with the light cut on the periphery. No surprise.
Okay, okay. I'll bite and BEGIN THE DOWNLOAD! Smile

Nothing but satellite and dialup here. I tried the space race for 18 months and it left too much to be desired, so I went back to dialup.
Russ, just curious... what is the do-dad sitting under the red bracket on the right side of the table for? 17428

That is the tool setter.  

Once a tool is loaded into the machine, the operator can set the tool length and diameter by pressing a couple of buttons on the control.

He can even load in several tools, tell the control what pocket (in the tool carousel) they are in, press a button, go get a coffee, and by the time he comes back, the machine will have automatically set all the lengths and/or diameters of those tools.

We keep the bracket on when not in use to prevent the setting stylus from taking potential damage should a chunk of holding stock (when face milling), or a loose piece come out of the vise and go flying around inside there.  

Sometime in the near future, I will ask Andrew to get some video of the whole process and post it in this section.
