Secrets to Machining an Aerospace Part on a Tormach CNC Mill

1. That is very impressive. Makes me think smarter on my set ups. Amazing work. What website for the fixturing ideas? Or website to see more of what your doing

2. 10 lb billet turned into 1 lb part is not something to brag about. There's this technology called "casting" and it's been around for a few millennia and it's far more efficient than that….both in time , money and material.

3. Killer job man!

4. Amazing part and video. I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere but what software do you use for CAD and CAM?

5. One thought. Rough out by Water jet 6 or more of those with all bolt holes, G54 offset, keep the tabs you have, make 6 at a time.

6. This was great man, good stuff.

7. Do you intend to switch to a cast part for production. There is a lot of machining going on in the manufacture of the part.

8. Maching part is OK,but the part design looks weak to me,not strong enough.

9. Very nice.
   How long was the total programming time?

10. Hey guys, great work your doing on this adventure. A quick question which may have been answered already but what was the total machining time on this part, both oops.
    I do understand this is prototype and speeds and feeds are probably conservative.
    I have a 1100m but am not at this level yet , thanks

11. Did y’all ever make a video on the enclosure you made for the tormach?

12. Great Video! Very impressive.

13. Lots of great tips that show you pay attention to precision. Pro tip is to get very close with a good tool distributor. He'll be able to sell you tools and holders with low runout, high performance geometry and coatings, and give proper feeds and speeds.

    Haas is an entry level CNC. I hope you do well enough to step up to a more solid machine.

14. Awesome guys!!! Really hope you guys do EXTREMELY well with your aerospace venture. Love the videos, and PLEASE, don't stop releasing content on the Tormach. Love it.

15. What happens to all the aluminum waste?

16. I'm trying to take the jump from 3d printing to a CNC mill putting together. Great video it is really helpful

17. Will you guys be casting the part when going into production?

18. How many hours did the machining take?

19. That really impressive and the end result looks great, but I cannot believe how mush work is need setting up the part before you even start the job, 3D printing make it looks easy.

20. Super awesome work.

21. I'm curious about the more granular and technical aspects of this project. Specifically, how do you: (1) determine the forces that your parts will experience during use, and (2) determine that the parts can in fact survive those forces and work correctly? Thank you!

22. Have you considered hard coat anodizing your fixtures? Reduces chances of wear and damage with use. Same question for finished parts.

23. Your fusion 360 kung fu is great! But the part looks so light!!! Will it keep the load?? Thank you guys for the video!
