Video - Profiling with a face mill
#1
Tongue 
Have a repeat job we do a few times a year and it just came up again so thought I'd give it a go in the new machine.

Using my Walter 2.00 face mill with Walter aluminum specific inserts we profiled .270" deep, and at one point in the cut it is taking a 1.75" width of cut.

9,550 RPM and 200 IPM giving me 5,000 SFM.

I just love this cutter!!

Enjoy the video!

Wow, nice!

I know you were topping out at 7500 rpm and 40 inches per minute on the older Haas VF0, so that's quite a leap with the new VF2SS. Nice having the 3-phase power on that machine now too. I couldn't help but notice the spindle motor load was just shy of 100% load at the widest part of the toolpath, so you know there's more available when you need it. The motors are rated for 50% more load in short bursts like that.

The cutter is a Walter F4041.UB.051.Z04.13, and I believe Ed has one of those as well. I've never heard any reports from him about the cutter though.

Ken,

I was going to use it for the first time on a project about 4 weeks ago. I had to build some guards to mount on the mill table to prevent the swarf from shooting all over the shop. I got those done and was all set up to start milling the project when I had to tear it down to do some machining on a project for my real job. Life has since gotten in the way and I haven't stepped foot in the shop for weeks now. When I do get back to the project, I plan on doing a video of the cutter in use.

I've only just watched this, as I've had some internet issues. That is one nice machine Russ. I love the tool changer!
