NYC CNC | Pre-Drill Holes for a BETTER way to tab off Machined Parts! @nyccnc | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
CNC tabbing strategy with pre-drilled holes! In softer materials, plunging isn't a problem but when milling harder materials like D2 steel, there's a strong case for pre-drilling holes before tabbing the workpiece. Not only does this reduce tool deflection, it also preserves tool life by keeping a constant chip load, and there's one more benefit--better chip evacuation! Let's set up tabs in Fusion 360 and compare tabbing with and without pre-drilled holes using common endmills!
00:00 - Intro: Knifemaker Struggles with Tool Life
00:55 - Creating Tabs in Fusion 360
01:27 - Slotting 1018 Steel
01:52 - Titanium 6AL-4V without Coolant: NOT GOOD.
02:12 - Pre-Drilling D2 Tool + Coolant
03:16 - Slotting Before Tabs + Tooling
04:02 - Tabbing: Chip Color & Increasing Plunge Rate
04:54 - Tabbing without Pre-Drilling
05:28 - Results: Tool Deflection, Chips Holding Heat
06:03 - Using This Strategy for Desktop CNC Machines
06:45 - Outro: Grimsmo Makes Knives...
