Amazing what fits inside a Haas mini mill these days

No, didn't have the time to get ashore there.No chance then of visiting Bugis Street?
Good luck to him but theres some fundamental stuff he’s tripped up on .
The mini mill is a hand tool when machining parts like thatAmazing what fits inside a Haas mini mill these days
Be very careful if my wife sees this she will find you and explain that she is in fact Google and knows everythingI’m sure there is, nobody knows everything and at least he’s started a manufacturing company rather than working in Starbucks with an Art History degree.
If you cant recognise basic tooling and a lump of cast iron being machined it ain’t good.I’m sure there is, nobody knows everything and at least he’s started a manufacturing company rather than working in Starbucks with an Art History degree.
For sure....Might be big enough to do the hex on the sump plug. That is of course if it even has a sump plugThe mini mill is a hand tool when machining parts like that
Ain't got a clue...lolWhat did you tube say, lol
I think that is the guy I watched a vid where he made a special inserted tool. If so the guy is seriously good with that Mazak.I watch this gentleman. His company/ channel is called edge precision. The real thing
Did you see what he moved from to the family farm...it was insanely small.Ellipses suggests you want a response. Just offering another avenue in case OP doesn't get what he requires elsewhere... also, this isn't 1993, NY CNC for example, after all do a lot on YouTube, but have a machine shop that many would dream of.

That globe in the center is easy to do. I wouldn’t bother drawing it as a surface or a solid. I would only draw it as a wireframe. Would only need a couple of arcs and a couple of lines. Then machine it as swept 2d which is basically a very easy way of machining basic 3d features. That feature would only take a couple of minutes to draw and program, but took a couple of years to get proficient at, as its not available as a you tube option , you have to figure it out yourself.You have to be careful what side you chain the geometry to,it doesn’t necessarily follow that cutter compensation is on the left on both contours, it might be on the left for one but on the right for the other. That’s where the skill comes in * That whole part I would only draw as 2d geometry as it’s faster to machine and the tool paths and programs will be shorter and quicker to run.Well that was fairly simple to do in Fusion although I took two attempts at getting the centre correct and having to type bloody inch dimensions goes against the grain
First off the turned part which would be the first op for me.

Then a case of lopping off the material from the bottom and boring the hole and machining the pockets.

Flip over and do the second side. If the ball shape needs to be there then I reckon that will be 3D milling and time consuming.

If the edges could be straight down like below then that would save a lot of machining time.

This gives you an idea of the scale. We could have fudged it and gone with 2 cylinders, but whats the point in that !
Maybe the radius could be machined on a lathe with a ball turning attachment once the rest was done, would certainly be a lot quicker than any method on the mill I would imagine.
