Have you used this yet not sure it existed when i was designing 5 years ago. Very clever.
Watch it all.

 

ha thats kool at first i was thinking it was a normal cnc type thing

 

interesting. wouldn't they punch a square hole normaly

 

Cool.

Only in thinner stuff. You usually end up with some kind or radius in the corner of all milled stuff.

 

That's trick it's abit like the tool that you use for hex,s but abit more advanced and prob with a high price tag, to be honest I'd just prog" in pocket mill and tell it what I want and bob,s your uncle

 

Impressive tooling

 

Wow thats good! I never need a square though.

 

looks just the tool if you need to put a square peg in a round hole

 

Never mind that shit,whos this in your album

 

Thats Marianne Fathifull, crumpet from my day.

 

I'm not a machinist but deal with components that need a square hole through them for use with 8 and 10mm key steel. That looks like an interesting tool!

We usually have to have a hole like that wire eroded. The options were either wire erosion, spark erosion or smashing a mandrel through it at the time we we're first starting to use key steel.

 

Quite interesting.

Yes, dependent on material.

We used to use an Omada Proteus punch machine, upto 3mm steel plate.

 

watch for the virus connected to this peeps

 

thats very cool but water jet would be easier

 

clever peice of kit, on that application it looks good and could save time, but i wonder how it would hold up on harder metals, and larger and deeper holes, as i could see rigidity being an issue.

 

Very cool indeed !

 

It is cool. But the tool is not rotating in a circle. You can see the chuck is not rotating in a circle either.
It's just moving fast so it looks like it is.

 

That's looks a clever piece of kit.

 

Much quicker than spark erosion!

I wonder how that system would cope with a bit of tool steel ?

 

I'd imagine they've been around for years in slightly different forums. Looks very good. Its how they put the hex's on allen keys etc, (well very similar) obviously they'r done on a lathe.

 

It would be clever if it did rotate in a circle .

Worked on the design of early CAD machines in the 70's we were struggling to get it to cut screw threads back then . This is clever & ive not seen it before but ive been retired 5 years. Bloody Chinese.

 

I'm not really clued up on CNC machine's but can the tool in the video Rod poseted be used on a normal Fanuc controlled Miller?

 

Looks like it is just a rotary broach; Been around for years, they are nothing nothing new and nothing innovative.
